A quick update:

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen

- Eph. 3:20-21

March has been a good month for us as we continue to be amazed at how God is getting us ready to move to Europe. One of our biggest hurdles was selling our house. We were a little worried considering the current economy and housing market but we knew in the end that God would take care of this too. I'm glad to say that He has taken care of it in an amazing way. We sold the house without even putting it on the market!

We have some close friends of ours that have been living outside of Chillicothe for a while and decided it was time to move closer to town and they wanted to help us out... they decided to buy our house. Since it was never put on the market we are able to complete it all without commissions which helps both of us save money. With the paperwork finishing up next week, the move will take place very soon.

But, we are not ready to move overseas yet and don't expect to be able to for quite some time. In the interim, we will be living in an apartment above my brother's family's garage. It's very nice and will make a good transition place for us to live for the rest of this year or however long it takes for us to raise the rest of our support.

This will still be a tougher than normal move since we will need to go through everything that we have and make decisions about whether to sell, move it, store it until it can be moved to Germany, or store it long term in anticipation of our return to the states someday. It will be a very busy few weeks for us so please send your prayers our way!

As I mentioned, our other big hurdle is to finish raising support. We have really just begun that process but we are glad to say that we have raised about 10% of what we need. It's still a long way to go but it feels good to make some progress.

Thank you to all of you that have been involved in the process and have supported us in so many ways and a ton of thanks to God for taking such good care of us and helping us to overcome what has seemed like insurmountable tasks!
