God Continues to Provide

God never ceases to amaze us!
    From the moment we made the decision to follow God's leading to serve at Beautiful Gate, God has been paving the way, and in a way that only He could orchestrate.

    And now we are happy to announce that we have sold our house! Praise the Lord!
We have never doubted that God would work everything out for us to be able to move to Lesotho...although there were times when it was difficult to discern what He was doing. From the beginning of listing our house for sale by owner we were always given hope and encouragement that He had a way to make the house sell. From the woman who walked through the neighborhood and knocked on the door across the street from us wanting to move into this area to the many people who went through our house and had the same time-line for moving in as we had for moving out, God kept showing us ways that it could work. And now a wonderful young couple will be moving and starting their family here much the the same as we did 24 years ago.
God has continued to provide and has provided everything at just the right time.

A prayer request for the closing of the house:
    The bank has requested that the closing happen before we leave, so we are praying that all of those details get finalized in the next couple of weeks.
    We are also so thankful that the funds keep coming in....thank you so very much for your partnership in this mission. Saying thank you just seems inadequate! Hopefully when you see the fruit of God's hand at Beautiful Gate; that will convey our gratitude more adequately!
Also, Bryan and Anita have found us a house that is fully furnished! And complete with a dog! (Karen loves that!) So grateful for God's provision in a house too!
They have also found us a car that we have agreed to purchase! Praising God for that as well!

In summary:
We have sold our house
We have a house ready for us when we arrive
We have furnishings for our house
We have a car
We have a dog :)
We have funding for the first year and commitments for more than half of the second year!
What a God.....what provision!
His amazing provision at exactly the right time confirms for us this calling and we are so humbled and grateful!

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. As it is written,

“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.”

He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God.
(2 Corinthians 9:8-11 ESV)

In gratitude to Him who has called us and to you His people,
Ron, Karen and Grace
