September as the New Target Date!

This morning I got an email from the Director of the PNG branch of PBT, informing us that since we plan on being missionaries in a village setting that it would be best for us to attend the POC course in September. We are on the list of attendees in September!
But we will not be leaving in May.
POC is an orientation course to jungle life in Papua New Guinea, which will teach us skills and give us a chance to practice them before allocating to a village setting.
This change in departure time definitely has a silver lining in that, after we have our funds raised, we can have a bit of a break before departing for the field. Hopefully, this breath will allow us to come to terms with the whole leaving the States for two and a half years and the changes that will have on our lives. This will give us a chance to process that transition before it overwhelms us.
We have 55% of our funds raised presently and are hoping to reach our goal soon!
Please keep praying for us to meet our funding goals and for the people God has chosen for our support team!
