Traveling

We are headed to Mt. Zion Wesleyan tomorrow morning! Mt. Zion is in New Castle, Indiana where we will briefly be sharing about our call and need for supporters. During the service I will be sharing with the children about missions and Russia. We are excited to be introduced to this new congregation. Please pray that doors will open so that down the road this church will partner with us. We are also praying for faith promise givers out of this congregation Sunday morning.

Blessings,
Philip, Kara, and Adalynn

Half Way

That's right, Praise the Lord with us because we are 50% funded!!!! We are still shooting for being 60% funded by the end of April and 75% before we leave for language school in June!!! Will you join with us in prayer and petition for more prayer partners and faith promise givers this month? If you are interested in giving monthly or yearly to this ministry click on the BECOME A FAITH PROMISE GIVER link to the right. We need senders...people like you you who commit to give on a monthly or yearly basis. Please pray about how you can be a part of reaching the Russian people for Jesus Christ. Everyone is called to the Great Commission, how are you going to be a part of it?

PRAYERS

We are headed to language school this June! We are sooo very excited to be able to attend the Russian Language Institute of the Strategic Langauge and Culture Institute. We will be in Columbia, South Carolina for an 8 week intensive. Though we are excited and encouraged that we are able to go, we do have some concerns. Will you join with us this week in praying for these requests? Time is flying, and things need to get in order for us to live, learn, and grow while we are in South Carolina. Thank you for joining with us in prayer. We know the Lord hears our prayers.

PRAY for:

• Someone to watch/stay with Adalynn as we are in school from 8-1pm M-F
• A place to live while we are in Columbia
• Us to be 75% funded before we leave for Language school at the beginning of June

Blessings,
Philip, Kara, and Adalynn

Good-Byes

We left MS last Thursday. We had a wonderful time with friends and supporters! We were able to squeeze in some time with our small group on Wednesday evening! It was so great to connect with them and spend time catching up and sharing with them more about our ministry. What encouragement it brings us to be able to share with our "old" small group about the joys and concerns of support raising. They were with us from the beginning of our time as missionaries. We miss them!

We are back in Terre Haute as of right now. We enjoyed a joyous and relaxing Easter Sunday with Philip's parents. Faith Wesleyan, our home church here in Terre Haute, had a wonderful and touching Easter musical on Sunday morning! We hope you had a special time remembering the death and resurrection of our Lord. Thanks for your continual support!

Blessings,
Philip, Kara, and Adalynn

Rejoice with us as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! He has risen from the dead, giving new life to us!!! Praise the Lord for his mercy, grace, sacrifice, and love.

Happy Resurrection Sunday!
Blessings,
Philip, Kara, and Adalynn

Visiting

Yep, you're right! We are outside taking a walk with no coats, enjoying the 70 degree weather! We are still in Mississippi visiting with friends and supporters. Adalynn is doing a great job going with the flow and letting people hold her. Yesterday we made it over to the seminary to see Philip's professors and people in Student Development. It was great to see these people again!
Last night we enjoyed dinner with our friends the Edgar family! They were our small group leaders for a time when we lived in Mississippi. They have 3 beautiful children! We enjoyed fellowshipping with them over dinner. We appreciate how they pray and support us financially as we prepare to go to Russia.
Here are a few pictures of yesterday's adventures!

Fun Times in Mississippi

(This is a picture of our friends' kids and Adalynn! They were all born close together! The last time we were all together, the babies weren't even with us!)

We are having a great time in Mississippi with our friends and supporters! Sunday we were able to go to our former church, DaySpring. It was great to be encouraged by many of our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. We did not get to go to our small group because of some of the kids being sick. We hope to connect with them on Wednesday night. Sunday night we went to a fish fry at Wesley Chapel. They were celebrating their 2 year anniversary. It was a great time to see more of our friends, such as the Burnetts and President Smith and his wife Dorena!

Burnetts and Jack and Adalynn...does Adalynn look tired to you?

Adalynn let Dorena hold her all night! It was great!

Sunday afternoon lunch with friends!
