Departure !!!

Hello Friends and Family,
 
We thank you so much for your valued prayers and encouragement to us over the past 10 months of our time back in the U.S.  God has continued to answer our prayers throughout this year and during our time in Kenya.  It's been truly amazing to see how the Lord has worked in our lives to introduce us to new brothers and sisters in Christ around the country as we've followed His lead.
 
Now we are ready to embark on the next great journey as we walk by FAITH in Christ Jesus to the country of Nicaragua!  We are so very excited to begin this next phase and we hope that you also are ready to see what God will do.
 
We will be flying out of Atlanta on Sunday afternoon, August 18th and should arrive to our new home around midnight.  Please pray particularly for us during our travels and as we settle in the first few days of next week.  Especially for the kids, the beginning experience can often set our attitudes and outlooks for the long haul.  We need to focus on the Lord and not ourselves, our comforts, and anxieties! 
 
Please follow along with us as we travel and settle in to this new environment in a foreign land.  You can follow us on our blog at(www.medlinsonmission.blogspot.com) and also be on the lookout for our newsletter emails.  We welcome your notes of encouragement and prayer as we begin this new endeavor and we trust in the Lord in all things.
 
If you have yet to sign up on our prayer partner calendar, we are still looking to fill the following days: 12th, 22nd, 24th, 26th, 28th, and 30th. It would be a shame if we didn't have our Christian family lifting us up every day as we serve the Lord so please help us cover these remaining slots.
 
Also as we leave to be on mission, we have yet to establish a complete base of financial supporters to cover our expected budget.  We firmly believe that our Lord will provide as needed and usually that comes through our church family.  We invite you to consider being a part of His plans to supply for our family’s financial needs.  If you would feel led to contribute to our ministry financially, you can make a tax deductible donation through our partner organization listed below.  Thank you for prayerfully considering supporting us in this way!
 
Thank you for praying for us as we set out on the adventure of serving God in a new culture.  We are excited about what God is doing in Nicaragua and hope some of you will visit and serve alongside of us in the future!
 
Love you all,
 
Michael and Kellie Medlin
