A praise...

As many of you know Carrie and I are missionary teachers in Vienna, Austria.  We are following the Lord's leading to impact the world through teaching at the only English speaking K-12 Christian School in Austria.  Since we are missionaries we are required to raise our own support.  All throughout the year and during the summers while we are on home assignment we are continually trying to get our support level at 100%.  We desire to serve the Lord but not go into debt while doing it.  The only way to make this happen is to continually be 100% supported.

When we stepped off of the plane into beautiful Colorado on June 22 we both needed to raise $1000 in monthly donations to be at the desired 100%.  This is the moment where I am sure most of you are gasping and believe me I gasped a few times myself at the daunting task before us.  During this time of complete reliance on God, because I knew I could not do this within my own power, I always remembered that the Lord is in control.  He called me to be a missionary teacher in Vienna and He already has plans to provide for all of my needs including the financial ones!  Well, neither of us are currently at 100% but we are sure close and it has been amazing to see supporters come out of the woodwork!  I (Amanda) currently need $350 in additional commitments and Carrie needs $300. Will you join us in rejoicing at the Lord moving such huge mountains and carrying our burdens?  Please also join us in praying that the additional monthly commitments come in soon and those that have made monthly commitments follow through with their giving!  Thank you for blessing our lives with your prayers!
