Last Friday we sent out an e-mail asking for folks to pray for us. It was looking very doubtful that we would be able to attend our pre-field training at the Center for Intercultural Training (CIT) in June because the classes were near capacity and we had still yet to reach our needed 60% of monthly financial support that would allow us to attend.
To bring you up-to-date, yesterday we registered and were accepted into CIT for the Summer classes that begin in June! As of Monday morning we were close enough to 60% of our support that the leadership of United World Mission gave us the green light to attend. Then when we registered there was enough room left for all of our family members. We praise God for this and rejoice in His answering our prayers in this way. While we would have rejoiced and trusted God had He answered with "wait" we are very thankful that His answer was "go"!
We want to thank those that prayed for us and those that gave financially in support of our ministry. It is very humbling to have you all be a part of what God has called us together to do in reaching the people of southern Senegal with the Gospel. We also especially want to thank the Body of Christ at Lighthouse Baptist Church in Bryceville, Florida. Hearing of our need, Sunday evening they committed to give $500 per month to our ministry. This commitment bridged the gap and God used it to move us closer to training at CIT, but more importantly, to move us closer to Senegal!
Thank you all again and we ask you to please continually remember our family and the people of southern Senegal as you pray.
With Great Thankfulness,
The Boyd Family
