I can honestly say that the last month has been amazing. When I first started raising support, I struggled to see how in the world I would get the money to go, but God has knocked my socks off! I am now fully supported and financially cleared to go to the Czech Republic. I also bought my plane ticket! I leave for the Czech Republic on Saturday, September 13th! I will spend eighty-nine days there (returning on December 10th).
One of God's biggest blessings has been my churches' support. Not only did my church in VA really help me out, but so did my church in NC! This past weekend I had the opportunity to speak to the church in which I grew up. This church family, once again, showered me with their love and support (as they have done my entire life). God reminded me what a blessing it is to have an extended family in the Lord.
So, now I am keeping busy helping my parents around the house and getting things ready for to go for the Czech. Though it is somewhat overwhelming to think of living in another country for three months, I am excited to get going. I look forward to seeing how God continues to move in this next adventure!

God is so Amazing!
I'm sure you will have many more exciting things to share about His provision and what He is teaching you.
I am excited for you and look forward to keeping up to date with your blog.
Praying for you!

Hey Jen,
Maryke and I just wanted to say we really admire what you are doing. We both are planning on mission trips hopefully within a year, once things settle down. She is still adjusting from traveling/imigrating from South Africa. Misson work; It is something both of us have wanted to do for sometime, but haven been separated by the Atlantic Ocean for 5 years. Helping others and leading them to "renewness" cant be beat. Its definitely a heavenly feeling. I am glad to hear that everything went well, and that God has provided your needs. I have found that God always repays us for what we give and also do. It gives us peace about making tough decisions.
We are interested in the news and hearing how things are going. We wish you the best, and just feel God's presense in your mission. If we can help in any way, just let us know.
