INCLINEDTOSERVE

Our new home town…LaGrange, WY

Tonight we are writing from LaGrange, Wyoming! Whew! And with many things to praise God for. We ended up signing closing documents on the sale of our house on Monday evening after a day of packing and celebrating Travis’ 6th birthday. Sarah and the kids headed for Wyoming the following morning early and the kids started school at LaGrange Elementary Wednesday morning. I (Ben) stayed behind in Utah to pick up the moving truck and get it packed. With the help of many wonderful Utah friends, we were able to get everything packed away (yes, even the motorcycle!) by about 9:00 Tuesday night. I traveled to Wyoming with a friend from church who was hauling a trailer full of more of our stuff on Wednesday, making what was, for me, record time from Utah to Wyoming. When we arrived we enjoyed a nice meal at the Dining Hall of Frontier School of the Bible and were blessed when 16 young men (who have much more energy than I do these days) came to help us unload both the trailer and the truck. What took us 12 + hours to load in Utah took these Frontier students about 90 minutes to unload (yes, even the motorcycle!). We enjoyed some lemonade with the wonderful family who is allowing us to use some of their shop space to store most of our things as we look for a more permanent home. Thursday, our family moved, temporarily, into the Tentmakers Bible Mission guest rooms until the Lord provides a home for us. Please pray that God would provide something large enough for our family that will meet our needs for the years to come. Please also pray for these items:

• That our support level would increase, we are currently at about 30% of our support goal.
• That God would begin and quickly increase our ministry effectiveness in our new role with TBM.
• That our family would settle in here well and enjoy this new place that is very different from where we have lived over the past 8 + years.

Praise God!!! 14 days until the big move!!! We wanted to update you all on the progress of our move. All went well with the home inspection and it looks as though our closing date will be August 23rd and we will be driving the moving truck out on August 24th! We praise God for answered prayer in all these areas.

We are still in the process of finding a permanent place to live once we get to LaGrange. As we said in our last email we have had a hard time finding anything that was open for rental, but there are some possibilities in the works right now, please pray that God will open a door before we leave Utah so that we can have a place to move into right away. Please also pray for smooth transitions as Ben wraps up his job at the Credit Union this Saturday and wraps up loose ends at the Church next week.

Please be in prayer for our kids too! Megan is turning 9 tomorrow (Friday) and Travis is turning 6 on the 22nd, so both of their birthdays are close to all the moving chaos! Also, all three kids are going to be starting at a new school on the 24th, so they have asked for prayer that they will make new friends and that they will like their new school and teachers! Travis will begin Kindergarten this year so he will have lots to get used to. Lots of change happening all at once, but pray that God will provide a way for us to settle in quickly.
We would love to pray for you as well! Please contact us and let us know how to pray for you!

We are under contract, our house, that is!!! As of this morning our plans for making the move to Wyoming will be moving forward. We still have inspections and such to make it through, but if all goes well, we should be moving around the 24th of August! Thank you for praying! We have been so blessed knowing that we have loved ones praying about this step into the future of ministry. There are a few things that you can keep us in your prayers for.

1. All inspections on our Utah house go well. With everything approved, August 2nd will end the due diligence period, meaning that the buyers are locked in!
2. Please pray that God would provide a good, inexpensive place for us to live in when we arrive in LaGrange.
3. Please pray that the move would go smoothly and that we would arrive safely.
4. Please pray that we would find more opportunities to share our ministry with churches and individuals who would consider supporting us through prayer and finances.
5. Please pray that the family, especially the kids would have peace during the whirlwind of the next 4 weeks. They will be starting school in LaGrange the Monday after we arrive.

We will be headed to LaGrange in the next week or so to look for a place to live! We will keep you posted along the way!

God has blessed us so much over the past couple of weeks and we wanted to share some of that with you! We have been praying about the house selling and, no it hasn’t sold yet, but in the last 2 weeks we have shown the house 9 different times! 6 of those showings were last week! Sarah said that the house has never been cleaned top to bottom so many times in such a short period of time before! We were definitely tired, but thankful that God had provided such strong encouragement for us. There was also an offer that came out of those showings, but it was too low for us to be able to do it. Still, it is encouraging to know that there is someone out there that wants the house enough to actually put down an offer.

By way of prayers, we also have been so blessed hearing from so many of you about how you have been praying! Thank you! Specifically now, we are praying that we can get out to Wyoming by August 1st and get started with the ministry there! Please be praying along those same lines with us. Of course, we want God’s will over all else, but we would really like to get started soon! We will keep you posted of any progress!

Ben and Sarah and the kids
