Mission Update

Just a quick update on our progress in preparing for our move to Costa Rica. God is gracious and has provided 78 prayer partners, so we are only 22 people short of our goal of 100. We have also made progress in our financial support. We have about 75% of our monthly and one-time goals. Our target date for leaving the US is July 1st.

We placed a deposit on a small (900 sq. ft.) townhouse in Alajuelita which is a poor town just south of San Jose.

We are having garage sales and are selling almost everything we have, the house is starting to feel a little empty.

God provided renters and a property manager for our current home.

Some current prayer issues are Health Insurance, Life Insurance, Loan for the property in Costa Rica, cheap plane tickets, and God's direction and timing as me make final preparations.
