Rick and Becky's Email Update, August 30, 2006
Praise God – we believe that we will have our full support in just over a week! The phrase "the check is in the mail" comes from a very reliable source and once that check is applied to our account, we will be fully supported for our Out-going/Start-up Expenses and we have 100% of our monthly support pledged!
So what happens next?
Unfortunately, we missed the start of classes at the language school in Costa Rica. The next classes begin in January. So, now we are considering going to a language school in Guatemala called the Spanish Christian Academy (SCA). The SCA is also an excellent school that many of our missionary friends who work in the Dominican Republic have attended and highly recommend. Because it uses one-on-one tutors, when you arrive and are ready to start, it starts! We haven't quite made the decision that this is the school for us. United World Mission is also determining if it is a good fit for their missionaries. Please be in prayer that God would make it clear if this is the place we should learn.
When could we leave?
Of course, the decision about language school needs to be made. Then we will buy tickets. If it were decided wining the next week, we hope to leave the week of September 18. Whichever day provides the best savings for airline tickets is the day we will leave. We really picked this week because September 17 our home church, Calvary EFC, is planning a farewell get-together for us (not sure what it is actually called) and we would like to be there! We also feel it is the right timing for us as we have been emotionally preparing for our departure.
Our Prayer Requests:
1. For God\'s confirmation as to what language school we should attend.
2. For our house to be rented. We are in a tough marking for renting or selling homes. Or course, God can
Thank you again for your care and support to us.
