HELLO ALL!!

WE MOVED…AGAIN!!

Just three weeks ago Corey and I were living in South Jersey and while visiting family a close friend of ours introduced us to a director at a Christian camp. Upon hearing our story and call to the mission field, he excitingly opened their doors to house us. At that point in time we were not looking for place to stay but like with everything else we prayed about it and put it in God’s hands. I kid you not the day we were calling the director to decline his offer we were kindly informed that we would need to leave our temporary housing. Prior to that call we felt as though we needed to stay and follow through with some things but in that moment we felt a sense of release and peace. God had already set everything up and it was one of those scenarios that the He just checked off every single box and more! Within a week we packed up all our belongings, moved and on our free time are serving alongside some of the most amazing people while continuing to raise our support. The camp director and his wife are amazing and a complete God sent as they are kingdom minded and want to help in every way to get us to the mission field. Already, I have had the opportunity to speak at a woman’s bible study which also opened up some doors to speak with some churches. We have also made many other connections and are believing that God is going to increase our partners before we head off onto our month long vision trip.

VISION TRIP UPDATE

As mentioned in our last newsletter Corey had a health scare back in June that has kept us in the states. Fortunately, it was only a tick bite, but because the doctors initially thought it was something much more serious he was required to go to several follow up appointments. Praise God, earlier this month the oncologist completely cleared him of anything serious and we are now just waiting for his last appointment. Once, we get the all clear then we can plan for our vision trip which we are hoping to leave for by the beginning of October. We are so excited to get our feet back on Zambian ground and to get a glimpse of what life will be like living and ministering to the Lunda people. We can not wait as it has been so heavy on our hearts and to be back will be a dream.

I’ll be completely honest sometimes Corey and I can get discouraged that we are not yet in Zambia, but then God reminds us that the vision that is so strongly ingrained in our hearts is not ours but His. He is the one that placed the calling on our lives and we know that He will be the one to get us there. Sometimes I feel like He taps me on the shoulder and is like stop looking at what you need but how far I have brought you. Only a year of raising support together we have seen $3,550 monthly come in and almost $50,000 for our deployment costs. It’s those sweet reminders that gives us the strength and hope to continue forward. We can not express fully how thankful we are for everyone of you who have pray and give financially. It’s one thing for God to place a call on your life, but it becomes so surreal when individuals see the call and are compelled to support. It truly brings us to our knees in praise as we recognize that it is all because of God that this is our present and future!

PRAYER REQUEST

That God would put the right people in our path that would feel lead to support us.

That Corey’s blood work comes back normal and we get the all clear from the doctors.

 all our love,

Corey and Candice
