Many Hands Make Light Work!! So much to tell, so little time!! For the last few years our family has been talking and praying about how God could use us to serve others. As we have seen one disaster after another on TV and in the news, we have felt called to help, but have let two things stand in our way; time and money. Obviously, these things are important and we can’t be effective to serve without them. But should they render us useless? NO!! We have able bodies and willing hearts and that is what God asks of us. God has made clear a path for us and we are beyond excited to see what He is preparing for us to do. We have decided to join Hope Force International (HFI) a Christian response to disasters that surround us at home and abroad, reaching out to those who experience suffering and loss. ( http://www.hopeforce.org/ ) We will be going as a family to areas which are effected by disasters of various kinds to do whatever we can to show the love of Christ and make a very difficult time a little less difficult. The first step in this process is training, training, training. Dan and I have been participating in our local CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training. And will be done with that in early February. We must also get more specific training from HFI themselves. Dan and I along with Trevor, Alyssa, Jordan and Desiree are planning to attend the next training seminar in Washington State on February 20!!! Yes!!! This February!! Its coming fast and this is where we are going to need help. We have figured the cost of training and travel and know that if God wants us to be there He will do the rest. We would greatly appreciate it if you would first of all, PRAY. We are not capable of any of this on our own, but know that God is able to do far more than we can even imagine when His people pray. The second and obvious need is finances.
