Although we’ve been busy this week there is not much news to share. We were able to get all the moving details worked out (which was not an easy task), so it has been a productive week. When we originally priced a moving truck rental we found that our cheapest option from Yuma to Dallas was not cheap at all. Justin decided to check the rental cost from Phoenix to Dallas and found that the amount was about $1,000 less that way. Ours plans are that he will fly to Phoenix, pick up a rental truck and a flat bed trailer that a friend will be dropping off there, then drive to Yuma to load up our belongings and the chairs that have been donated to Crossway, and then of course make the trek to McKinney where we will be living. Through this whole process of making moving arrangements we have seen God work out all the details from saving us money to coordinating the timing for the whole trip to flow smoothly. Life sure is a lot easy when you have a God on your side working all things together for good.
On the church side, we have begun the designing process for the printed material that we will need for the start up. The 10,000 booklets that we are making will be used to canvas the area prior to the first church service and will not only introduce Crossway to the area, but also share the Gospel story. Ten thousand doors cover a lot of area. We have had a few people say they would like to help us in completing this task, but we could always use more. We will begin this canvassing campaign the second week of September and continue even past the first service of the church. If you think this is something that you, your family, or a group from your church would be able to do, please let us know. If this is something that you would not be able to do because of location or physical limitations, would you please pray for the effectiveness of this effort?
Thank you for taking time to catch up this week. Please keep us in your prayers. Until next week…
