Heading out!!

Well I can't believe I am saying this but in 4 hours we are heading out. We are spending the weekend in Ontario practicing in a secluded place but on Monday we will be heading out to Turkey. We just want to thank so much all the people and churches who have supported us financially, and in prayer. We have been overwhelmed by the power of prayer through this experience as well as just how much God sustains us and our every need. We feel such peace about the fact that God has brought in the amount of money he has. Thank you all so much for your sacrificial giving.
If I can ask one more prayer request before leaving:
1) Please pray for us and our families - peace in our hearts as we travel and are away for quite a while.
2) No distractions or complications to stress us out - just use your imagination.
3) The people of Turkey would be prepared.
4) Our love for one ourselves, one another, and God would shine through to show the love of Jesus Christ.

Have a very meaningful Easter weekend and thank you all so much. We hope our next update comes straight from Turkey!

Lots of love,
Pip

"Nothing can block his blessings outpoured"

As part of the Heritage Choir's performance, we begin by reciting a collection of various poems. In it, there is one line that says "Nothing can block His blessings outpoured." For some reason I have had that stuck in my head lately just repeating over and over again. When I really think about it, it makes me realize just what a blessing it is to be used by God. The fact that even my weakness, sinful nature, and just lack of worthiness can't stop the blessings of God to be poured out gives me so much peace. There is nothing I can do to stop God's spreading of the gospel. There is nothing I can do that can thwart his mission. So here's the question: Why not be on the good side? If every single knee will bow someday and confess Jesus is Lord, and if all things work together for the glory of God, and if nothing can stand in the way of God's mission on earth, why would I ever stand on the other side, prolonging the inevitable?

Gentle Shepherd Community Church

Last Saturday we had a great concert where we had people partnering with us and supporting us in such an ecouraging way and we thank you guys so much. We look forward to keeping everyone up to date on what is going on, and one last time - THANK YOU all so much for your support. It meant the world to us. Additionally, all who pledged and gave their support to us the following Sunday encouraged us even further. It is such a blessing to know we are not doing this alone.
