Support Update

We have also had some inquiries as to how our monthly support level is so we thought we should give an update on that as well. We are so grateful how God continues to grow our monthly support team. A little over a year ago we needed another $1,500 in monthly support for long term sustainability.

Prayer Requests

Praising God for more preaching and speaking opportunities for Carmen. She has been busy in this arena the last 2 months.
Thanksgiving for apprentices settling in well and making good forward progress in flight training. We have 2 more apprentice families arriving in early summer.
Pray for safety and quick learning for Sean while he is at the MAF standardization from May 12 through June 9. Pray also for God’s strength and grace for our family while he is away. This is a long separation for us!
