Finally! They're finished!

Okay, the formal applications are complete and in the mail. Oh my gosh, the 17 doctrinal belief questions, to be answered complete with scripture references, just about did me in. They were, of course, a piece of cake for Brian.

Be praying that the processing would go smoothly and that we would be approved in time to attend the training in Seattle in September.

I also wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone that donated items and time for the Micah garage sale. All together we raised $3100 which is being doubled by Drew Smith. Praise God!

Love and blessings to you all,

Natasha

3 People... 3 Visions...All Loving children

It is truly amazing to watch God work. What a blessing to be able to see Anna again, now 2 1/2 years old! As some of you know, I met her on my first trip to Honduras in 2006 when she was 6 months old. She was thrown into a field like trash the day she was born, but God turned what was going to be an unknown tragedy into a story of grace, redemption and love for His glory. AMEN.

The team was moved yesterday as we visited 3 orphanages, all completly different but all walking in the Spirt, trusting in the Lord to lead and guide them. The first one is a model of group homes with an amazing facility that would rival anything in the states. They are going to be able to care for 1,500 when it is all said and done and still be able to maintain relationships like that of a normal family with the children that are cared for.

Next, we went to Rhonda's Destino del Reino. This is a person truly sent by God to live her faith in such away that others are warmed by her fire. She trusted the Lord, and only the Lord, to provide. She never knows what is going to be in the mail box but the Lord always provides for his children. "Faith sees best in the dark"

Last, we went to visit a couple named Mark and Paula who have been here 2 1/2 years. He was a computer programer and she was a stay at home mom...now they run an orphanage in the mountains where they have a self sustaining farm with pigs, chickens, cows and fish, an amazing garden that provides food for the everyone. They have 8 children plus their own 4 and are about $1,000 dollors short on support. When they came they didn't speak any Spanish but they learned from the children and they, in turn, have taught the children English .

There is so much more to all of these stories. You can see the web sites listed on Jon's blog. God has a plan for each of us, He is just waiting for us to say yes to Him and walkby faith into the glorious work He has for each of us

Chasing Daylight & Seeking His Face

Back in the saddle again

Well we made it. After a long night of travel we are here and once again I find myself at the foot of the cross praising God for his mercy and grace. After we landed, Drew and I went to ICP, the top vocational school in Honduras, and met with Colin Mclernon who is the Executive Director. The school is mainly a textile and electrial mechanical type school but I now have an even deeper vision...God does not want just another technicion, He wants to grow up men of God to impact the country and the world for Him. Colin offered sugestions to create a positive enviroment and a successful model to follow. Three years ago they started with 30 students and now there are 700. Praise God.

The team is doing well. Please keep Jon in your prayers as his Grandmother passed away today. He is doing well and this was not unexpected but he is sad that he can't be there for the service. We had a great meal and now are off to get some much needed sleep. Pray that we all would wake refreshed and stand at the foot of the cross ready to follow the lead He sets before us.

In the Grip of His Grace
