Streu News 03/08/09
ZDRAVO everyone!!!
Zdravo is hello in Bosnian. At least that is what our language program has taught us. We are still in the process of making sure that this program is teaching us accurately. Well, we figured it was about time for an WorldStreus update. Here we go…
The Lord continues to blow us away during the process. We want to thank everyone who has taken the time so far to meet with us in person, over the phone, on facebook, etc. It has been such a blessing to share our story with so many and find deeper confirmation in God’s call to missions in our life as we see more and more people believe in what we are pursuing.
We just spent the weekend in the Dallas/Fort Worth area visiting with friends and family. We want to especially thank Kyle and Jennie Jones for opening their home to us and hosting a cookout party with our friends. It was such a great time!
We also got to have lunch with some family (Billy’s side) this afternoon before we started heading back to Lubbock. Thank you, David and Mary, for opening your home as well for our small family reunion. We truly enjoyed our time with all of you this weekend. If you are confused by the pictures, I forgot to take pictures during the cookout at Kyle and Jennie’s. He took a couple of pictures to prove that the whole thing happened.
Before I sign out, I want to give you a rough update of where we are financially. We have been officially raising support for a little over a month, and we have approximately 60% of our one-time costs and 28% of our monthly pledges committed. God is good!!! Please pray that the Lord continues to provide the funds for us. Our goal is to be 100% funded by July 18th at the latest.
One last thing…please feel free to post comments on the site and talk to us. You have to register, but it is free. We love you all and will keep bringing the Streu News!!!
Billy and Jess.
