"He has shown his people the power of his works, giving them the lands of other nations." Psalm 111:6
We are on an incredible journey.
We started to look for a sponsor in June. After several "no's", some non- responders and loss of hope, I stumbled upon this Psalm, which rekindled my desire to continue on the path...
But, I had still had it made it up in my mind that God didn't want us in the Philippines at this time and that we had to come up with a plan "b". I constantly prayed, "God, if you want us in the Philippines you need to open a very obvious door".... And oh what a door He opened...
A church heard that we were looking for a sponsor and they sought us out! They called Ronald, came over the next day and it was then when we all decided they would be our sponsors. So here we are, on this journey to the Philippines. Still doesn't feel real to me. I guess it wont be until we have plane tickets in hand ready to board.

"Caidy and Ronald, what is the difference between a sponsor and a supporter"
Well, let us tell you! :)
Our sponsor is Rural Hill church of Christ. The give us "X" amount a month and then we need to find the rest of our support from other churches/individuals. As our sponsor, Rural Hill will take care of all our finances. All our money (from our supporters) will be sent to them, they will then send us a check once a month, for "X" amount, from the funds we raised before leaving. Also as our sponsor they will hold us accountable to the funds we use. We will send them monthly reports on how the ministry is going and talk with them if we ever decide to start a new ministry.
Our supports are the churches/ individuals that send financial support to our sponsors. Without our supports we would not be able to do the work that we feel commissioned to do.
I hope this clarifies things for you all.
Much love and peace.
-Caidy
