Prayer Letter — March / April 2025

Dear Pastor and Church,

I am excited to write you this month as we have seen God's hand in our ministry and His provision for us. We have had a great couple of months seeing God provide through church meetings and support. We have been in 10 churches to start the year and each one has been such a blessing and encouragement to us.

We have officially traveled A LOT. We have hit 72,000 miles in the car since we have started deputation and still have many more miles to drive before we are done. If you will pray for us, we are going to be trying to finish up deputation before July. We have been seeking God and asking him to supply the rest of the support needed before then. We are at 72% support and it's been great seeing God bring that in. If you will pray God will provide the rest of the support before July that would be greatly appreciated.

We have some exciting things coming up, the baby is due in May! We are excited for his arrival, and excited to add another missionary to our team! If you will pray for Kiska as she will be staying home in April due to more frequent appointments and being closer to her due date. She is going to take that time to prepare for the new baby and start looking at what needs to take place before we leave. Be in prayer for me as I will be without my better half for a few meetings. The churches I will be visiting also need prayer as they have to deal with me alone!

The church in Portugal is doing well, they have seen visitors coming and have been faithful to keep attending the services. They are excited for our arrival, as are we! We covet your prayers and continued support as we continue for the Lord!

God Bless!
