It’s official. We have goals.

I’ve had a few people ask me, “So, how much more do you need to raise?” Here’s the long answer.

Up until now we have covered our expenses via gifts, a grant and more gifts. A little money back from our favorite uncle (Sam) also helped. We are making the final payment to Bethany today that has to be made before we leave. That will bring us current on all pre-travel expenses. it will also bring the account to exactly $0.00. This is a good thing. We have seen this all along a practicum in learning to trust God. God has faithfully provided what we needed, when we needed it.

So with that we are going in the fundraising gala this Saturday, 7:00pm @ St E’s (1759 Mills Ave. 45212) (HINT, HINT) with nothing in the account but high hopes and lots of trust.

After talking to Tracy this morning we decided on these as goals for the remainder of our expenses (which include all lodging, food, and travel in Colombia as well as little Treisey’s flight home):

- rice, beans and hostel goal: $5000 (total)
- clean linens and private bathrooms goal: $8000 (total)
- makin’ momma and baby secure and comfy: $10,000 (total)

Heads bowed and fingers crossed…
