The application is finished!

Dear praying friends,

 

We are so excited to announce that our application for long term missions has been submitted to WorldVenture!  After completing the application, addendum, biographical sketch, obtaining 8 references each, completing 4 psychological tests, a Bible studies chart, background checks, and writing our beliefs statement we are so relieved to hand it over to WorldVenture.  It is truly only by the grace of God that we finished that packet.

 

Today we heard from our missions board that the applicant review committee will meet next Monday to review our application.  If our application is accepted, we will go to Colorado (their headquarters) in December for interviews; if our application isn't accepted they could tell us what needs to be improved upon and we will go from there.

 

We would really appreciate your prayers during this time.  We are asking that you pray for this committee that they will be led by God in a decision regarding our application. 

 

Other prayer requests:

- We are almost finished with a missions class.  Only 2 more weeks to go and a final paper.  Please pray for us in this final push.

- November marks 2 years since our house has been on the market and we've yet to have an offer (it's 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths 1800 sq ft in Winston Salem, NC, we are offering a fair price and down payment assistance).

- We are continuing to pray about a ministry opportunity in Senegal.  Please pray for God's guidance and for the McCarthy's who are hoping to get back to Senegal and back into their ministry by the end of the year.

 

Praises:

- God has provided us a vehicle, for free.  We were able to sell our other vehicle and we are now car payment free!

- Leah's transition back to work this school year has gone extremely well and the kids have transitioned well too.
