Our God Answers Prayer!

Hello, Prayer Warriors. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Wait, it's already February!?!? Lest you think we've forgotten we are moving to Africa, I figured we had better give you an update.
First, we want to give God the glory for all He is doing - HE has been the One moving things along, opening doors, leading and moving hearts...just this week, three exciting have happened: First, we had a "showing" of our house - which isn't listed for sale yet - and Lord-willing, we will be meeting with the potential buyers next week to hammer out details (prayer alert!!!) Second, Orant received the documentation needed before we could go and serve (this can sometimes take several months). And third, a new-found friend called yesterday and has on her heart to bring several home school co-ops together to raise funds and do projects for the people we will be serving in Malawi - they also want to partner in prayer and establish pen pals. We have been praying for an army of prayer warriors, and God is raising it up right before our eyes! The Bible study group that Jen asked me to join is also lifting up our families in prayer, and our pastor has said they church will partner with us also! We stand back in amazement as God "makes our path straight". Isn't He awesome!!?? Just when I think I've begun to grasp what His sovereignty means, He reveals something more of His character, grace, and goodness. It is humbling and overwhelming.
Please pray for His will to continue to be accomplished, and that we will die daily to our wills and submit to His. We are anticipating a move around July 1; Ray and Jen as early as April or May.
We love you and are SO thankful for your continued prayers! As things move forward, I will try to be better about updating you all. Blessing!
