And Suddenly, the

Waiting is Over!

Our last update detailed our wait for visas and being somewhat delayed in our arrival in Italy. Shortly after releasing that update, our visas were approved and we quickly prepared for departure. We arrived at the Venice airport on July 8 after a very smooth and uneventful flight and were greeted by wonderful Marcos. Katherine, Noah and Katherine's mother Estella were waiting for us with lunch prepared.

And since then, SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED! WATCH our video update to hear more about our whirlwind summer.

Thank you for your prayers!! Our transition has gone so smoothly so far and we are very excited to settle in and get to work.

Meeting up with our teammates in Prague was a highlight in August. Such a great group of people to work with! We had a week of laughing and crying together; planning and strategizing; processing this crazy life and loving on our 3W kiddos.

Thank you to all of our friends and supporters who enable us to minister in Europe and the Middle East.

Mark your calendar!

September 10-16

Once again Global Strategy is providing the opportunity to multiply the impact of cross-cultural ministry!

In that week, new or increased recurring contributions towards our ministry will have the first installment matched by a one-time 3X contribution to support our work!

We have the potential to access $5000 of matched funds! Our goal is to take advantage of this opportunity and close the gap on our financial needs.

Every little bit will help!

Gifts can be made online

between September 10 and 16

Pray for a successful Find Your Stride campaign, enabling all of our missionary colleagues to be fully funded and freed to focus on the ministry they've been called to.
Pray for our churches in Ostia and Arco as they share the love of Christ in these particularly challenging days throughout the region.
Praise the Lord that our visas were approved, our travel to Italy was smooth, and our new home has been secured.
