Out first batch of support letters went out this morning! It’s so exciting. I’ve been a little anxious up until now worrying about not having enough support, worrying about grammar in the letter, worrying about offending someone… The list goes on and on in my head. But after we addressed the envelopes, realized we hadn’t signed the letters, and then prayed over them, I felt much calmer and at peace. God has this under control, I don’t have to worry about this. Every step that we’ve taken towards Nicaragua has been while God is holding our hands.

We have a total of 101 letters going out in the next month. The first batch includes our small group and a few churches that friends have suggested. We’re then moving on to family and then friends.

We’re also contributing a significant amount of the support through our finances! We’ve also applied for a grant from our church, and I’m researching other possible grant opportunities. It helps that I volunteered as a grant writer for a local non-profit. I’m finding those skills come back to me! Pray for continued peace and wisdom during this process.
