Again, I want to remind you that we realize the amount of money we are needing to raise is a lot and we are not taking it lightly.
Scott will be using his vacation time for this trip. We are certain it is going to be used wisely, but will probably feel the sacrifice around holiday time. It's okay though. We are thankful for the time of vacation he has and will work something out around the holidays.
We are also asking our kids to not attend the Bible camp, this summer, that they have come to love. We decided that it would be better for us to use the money we would have to put towards camp towards the mission trip instead. It's good for us to feel the sacrifice and I very much appreciate the kids understanding. I don't think I've heard complaining yet.
We will continue to evaluate our budget to see how we might be able to save more for Zambia. It seems our budget is pretty tight, but it is amazing to watch God stretch our dollars and continue to reveal to us how big He is.
We realize that pennies are not going to be enough for us to get to Zambia. I am asking God to stretch our dollars. He did after all feed 5000 people with a few fish and some loaves of bread, so what's a few thousand dollars, right? I want you to know that we are humbled that you might consider supporting us financially and honored if you would spend these next 4 months lifting our family up in prayer.
Blessings ~ Erin
