We can make it!

There are some days that I feel the optimism just busting out of me!  I think...." we are down to just 41 more monthly pledges needed before June 30th... we can get there!"

But then there are days like yesterday and today where I am physically and mentally exhausted...and I think...."Will we make it? Will we be able to leave for Spain by our deadline?"

The truth is - it is exhausting raising a budget to go onto the mission field!  But a BIGGER truth - is that GOD has called us...and it is GOD that will stir pastors, churches, and families to partner with us.  It is all in HIS hands.

Each time I get an email that another church or a new family has become a monthly supporter - I feel a surge of encouragement...it really is like each pledge represents a piece of the puzzle.  Alone it may not seem like a lot....but joined with others - it completes the puzzle.  They are each a part of the masterpiece of God's plan to use the McMath family to reach the lost in over 53 different language groups.

So if you wonder how you can pray for us today.... Pray for encouragement.  Pray for favor.  Pray for the Spirit of God to rally people to this cause.  4.4 Billion people are waiting to hear a witness.
