Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

(Ok so it's a little late, but better late than never)
REFLECTING
As we reflect on 2015 we can not help but think of the many prayers and support you have blessed our family with. Many of you meet with us, prayed for us, introduced us to your pastors, allowed us to speak in your church, and joined us on this cRaZy journey. For all of this Kevin and I will forever be grateful. 
All though we are not where we thought we would be by the end of 2015, we can honestly see God working and preparing us. We don't hide that 2015 was much more difficult than we imaged. We had strive to find a balance between family, ministry, meeting with supporters, devotion time, work etc... Many day's we excelled in a few areas and well just down right failed in the others. Needless to say it's hard to find a balance. I can't help but meditate on Hebrew 13:20-22,
'Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.'

LOOKING FORWARD
As we look on to 2016 we see much hope, understanding, and peace. We know that this year will too be a difficult year, but we also feel better prepared than last year. With this being said...

PRAYER REQUEST
- 2016 will be the year we become fully funded!
 This prayer requires prayer within prayer!
         We specifically are praying for 3 supporting churches, multiple families, small groups and businesses to partner with us in this ministry. Among these three churches we are praying for a 'sending church'.
         Pray for God to proved the many hours we need in order for this to happen.

-Pray for God's provision in the here and now.
          I can hear the confusion so let me explain. We desire to be debt free or close to it before we move. During this last year we were able to knock out a good bit, but let's me honest life is always throwing financial curve balls our way no matter how much we plan. My husband will tell you we live the life of Job in this area. Pray God will bless our jobs and well, for nothing to break :)

- Pray for our family.
        Working full time, Malachi being in school, trying to find family time and meeting with supporters is very difficult to balance. Also two out of four of us are extreme introverts and life alone can be overbearing for them.

-Pray for LS.
          This past year LS expanded! We have added multiple new teams. As exciting as this is more than ever LS is need of our arrival... LS work is never ending and they are in much need of more hands. The sooner we are fully funded the more help/hands they will have. 


As usually please reach-out to us with pray needs. Let us know if you would like to join us in this journey by becoming partners. We pray for our partners to be blessed as God has blessed us. Pray for God's kingdom to continue to advance. 

Again Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Kevin, Rebecca, Malachi and Emmalyn Woolsey
