Third Missionary being added to the Delp Team!

We just wanted to announce that we are adding a 3rd missionary to the Delp Team.  See a picture of him/her.  Gender to be determined.  He/she should be joining the team in early March.

Thank you so much for your support of us through prayer and finances.

We are now up to 54 official prayer partners and we are looking to secure 150 people/families that will pray for us on a regular basis, so that means we are at 36% in prayer support.  Woohoo!!!

For the finances we are now all the way up to 38% of what is needed.  Praise the Lord!!!!

Do you know of any one or any churches that you think would be interested in joining into a ministry partnership with us as we get ready to head to Ecuador???  If so, please let us know and please be praying for more folks to come along side us.

Updates:

– Kim has successfully completed her Residency and her final presentation.  Yeah!  Now, she is studying for her Boards to be taken in the next few months.

– Joel is doing his thing at the church and with Verizon.  He will be hosting the Alpha Course at our home this fall.

– One specific item we are now asking for prayer on is for the sale of our house in Indiana.  We really need to have it sold before moving to Ecuador.  They say that finances are the number one cause bringing people home from the mission field and we already have educational debt, so we would like to rid of this debt also.  You can see a picture of the house here.myhouse

Our Support Letter is Out

20thermometer1

We just got done sending our support letter out and so we will give you our first update since we are just at the beginning stages of garnering our support. 

We currently have 8 official prayer partners and we are looking to secure 150 people/families that will pray for us on a regular basis, so that means we are at just over 5% in prayer support.

As far as finances go, God has already brought us almost $8,000 in support (though almost $2,000 was used in recent expenses for the Annual Meeting and for the 2009 Adminstrative Costs) and we have $225 in monthly commitments, which means we are already around 11% of what is needed.  Praise the Lord!!!!

Welcome

An after-dinner photo op on our winter trip to Michigan

Welcome to our blog! We are glad you stopped by to check in on us. We decided to start a new blog, but we still keep our other one as well. We wanted to have a blog that can be accessed through our sending denomination, the Evangelical Covenant (http://www.covchurch.org/). We are looking forward to a big month in June! On June 13th, Kim will be graduating from Rush University with a Master's in Nursing and a degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner! (More posts on that at a later time). At the end of June, we will be commissioned as missionaries with the Covenant Church at the annual meeting in Portland. What an exciting time to finally feel like we are taking steps closer to getting to the mission field. We are so excited and look forward to keeping you all updated through this blog. Blessings and Grace,Joel, Kim, Hireq and Patah
