I believe that to really live, you have to do something that is bigger
and more important than yourself.
For years now it was enough raising a family and being a part of God’s
story locally. God has made it
clear in our hearts that there is more that can be accomplished through
Him. For the last year we, (the
Martins) have been preparing to move to Nicaragua. If you know us and what we are doing skip this link and
read on. I realize that some of you are just beginning to read this now and we
haven't stated our vision in several months. Here is a link to our vision statement and mission plan.
You are peace, you are peace, when my fear is
crippling....
Is it really December already? The time seems to be
speeding up as our departure date gets closer. I can't believe we have less
than 2 months left in North Carolina. There is still so much to do, but we are
staying on track with it all and ready to go. We have stepped up our Spanish
training and hope to complete our Rosetta Stone training by the end of January. We
still need to sell or rent our house, so please pray that it will sell quickly.
God has brought us this far, so I have no doubt that he will work out
this last matter too. I am extremely thankful to be able to spend one
more Christmas in it this year.
I am so excited to be able to say we are 80% funded
now! This includes both our monthly support and our start-up budget. It
seems that God does want to send us on our way. I am getting a bit nervous as
it gets closer, but I can't wait to see what God has planned for us down there.
If you would like to join with us and our ministry partners, you can click on
the link above or give us a call anytime. We need to be 100% funded before we
can buy our plane tickets and set an actual date. I love the way God has
brought unexpected people into our lives through ministry partnership. I feel
so honored to have these people working side by side with us on this mission
and praying for us.
Our prayer cards are available now and we will be
passing them out at the Summit Church tomorrow. If you would like one and won't
be there tomorrow, let us know and we'll pop one in the mail for
you.
We are actively
looking for a place to live in Nicaragua now. Our new
friends down there have been a great help with this process. We want to find a
place that will comfortably house mission teams who come to visit. Please
pray that we will choose the right place for all of these needs.
