YWAM Here We Come!

We have been accepted to YWAM Montana's Fall DTS! We will be starting our fundraising soon. If any of you have any ideas or would like to help out let us know! We will be leaving in September. The school starts September 20th and ends February 11th. So keep us in your prayers!

Lily is almost a month old now. We can't believe it! For those of you who don't know, we welcomed our little girl into the world on May 4th, 2010. We had an emergency c-section, but Lily came our strong and determined. She is so incredibly beautiful, and we know we are blessed. SO many of you have been giving us words for her, and its incredible. Basically, God has a huge plan for her. We know that as parents that starts with us. It is our responsibility to be 100% faithful and obedient so that she can have that example in front o her.

We are still planning and preparing to leave in September. Its been hard getting our letters out with our new baby. Hopefully we will have them out soon, and will start the fundraising process! Keep praying for us. The past month has been extremely emotionally draining for us. There have been a lot of test thrown at us, but we are doing good.

This picture was taken at Lily's dedication on May 23rd, 2010. Thank you everyone who was there and stood beside us as we dedicated our little girl to God. It means a lot to know that we are not in this alone, and that we have so many standing beside us as we raise her to serve God.

Support/Update Letter

We are almost finished with our support letter! Yay! Such a big project. If you want to be on our mailing list email me (Jenny) your address... jennifervbarber@yahoo.com. Or if you would rather be sent email updates let me know. We will keep our blog updated, but the letters will have some good stuff too!
We will be starting fundraising really soon, so if you have any inspired ideas let us know. We'd love any and all suggestions. Also, if you want to be apart of our fundraising by volunteering that would be great. You can call or email us!
Now everyone has been asking, so I figured I should make a post... baby is doing great. Still not ready to meet us, but she is doing well. My body has been showing signs that it's getting ready for her grand entrance so keep us in your prayers. I am due May 2nd but anytime after Sunday (04/11) is full term. I am getting big, and running out of room, so I'm sure she is very cramped in there. People keep asking if I'm having twins... haha. Nope, just a small girl with a big belly... and yes I'm sure.

Where we are today...

Pray For Us... This is an important time for us. We are getting ready for our baby girl to be born, and at the same time we are preparing to leave for Montana in September. There is a lot of preparation for both! While we are getting ready for these changes we are still going to school full time. We don't want to get so caught up in what's to come that we forget about what still needs attention today.

Preparing for baby... So many of you have given us so many wonderful things for little Lily! Thank you so much. We even have diapers that we expect will last us at least part of the way into our outreach! You guys are great! As many of you know this hasn't been the easiest pregnancy, but we strongly believe that God has a HUGE plan for our little girl, and that these challenges of the past eight months have just been affirming that! We don't know what to expect as far as who this little person will be, or what it will be like to be parents, but we are thrilled and so thankful!

Preparing for our trip... This is big! We have a lot to do. We are working on our support letter to raise support in fiances and prayer, and also to keep you all updated on what we are up to. We have some fundraising ideas, that need to be put into action, and we have a million little details to work out before we go. How can you help? Pray! We need prayer.

We do need financial support... but we still need prayer. We want to know that there are people covering our family with prayer as we sent out to do this. For this trip we need to raise around $13000.00. This amount may change. It covers our room and bored, our traveling expenses, and our personal needs... like wipes and shampoo.

If you feel that God is calling you... to support us, you want to help with fundraising, or you want to let us know that you are praying then please feel free to email us. It is always encouraging to know that we have people behind us. We'd love to hear from you.
