Here’s a quick update from us!
For sure that God really provide our needs just in time.
It’s 5 more days we will leave for LA then continue the journey to Ina.
From last news, we mentioned that we needed a place to stay in LA.
A couple that we would like to meet in LA (too bad we forgot to send them our newsletter, but they are faithfully reading our blogs..) found out about our trip and offered us a guest room at their house.
So thankful for the answer of a prayer. THANK YOU SO MUCH for praying for us. And please keep on praying for us.

Be blessed!

Love being outdoor

Thank you so much for being with us in prayer and thank you for always supporting us. All of them are so meaningful to us! God use you all to strengthen us, to encourage us, and to keep our faith growing in the Lord Jesus. We praise God for all of you (Romans 1:8).

We want to Praise God for what has happened in the past couple weeks. he has provided us most of our need for the trip. We are praising God so far our preparation is going well and by that we figured out some stuff that we need to do and to get before we go on the trip.

This coming weeks are gonna be interesting and fun packing activities for us. Why? Because our little princess, Abigail, likes to take things out of the boxes or bags after Helen put them inside. Nowadays, she learns to do what Dave and Helen do. She has been watching Dave and Helen. And also, She can understand some words in English and Indonesian. Some amazing achievements she has!

We have some prayer requests. Please pray with us for:

A place to stay during our visiting in LA. So far we haven’t found any.

A place or a room at the Transit Hotel in Singapore for us to rest while waiting for our connecting flight to Indo.

Plan to have breakfast together with one of our friends in Singapore during our transit time. It will be a great time to see him again.

Time change and jet lag will be the challenges that we will encounter when we land in Indo. Please pray for us that we can overcome the time change and jet lag, especially for Abigail.

Plan to see one of our friends who is working as a literacy worker in Pakaya. Netty has been in Jakarta for a workshop and training. We will be seeing her on the same day we arrive because she has to go back to Pakaya on the next day to continue working with the project among the Pakaya people. Please pray for God’s favor, grace and blessings upon her, the project and the Pakaya people.

Our time in Indo to visit our families, friends and some churches and organizations. Pray for God’s guidance, protection and blessings so we can be a blessing for everyone we see. We will spend about 3 weeks there.

On the way back, we will spend a couple days in Singapore to explore and of course to see some of our friends, too. Please pray for the days that we will spend there, for God’s protection and guidance.

We haven’t got our tickets back from LA to Columbus. We’re asking your favor to pray for these needs, ask for God’s favor and blessings to provide the tickets that we need to come back to Columbus, on June 11, because we will be arrive in LA on June 10 afternoon, and we don’t have enough time to clear the custom to catch the next flight to Columbus if we take the on the same day.

Once again we would like to thank you so much for supporting us in prayer, encouragement, and finances. God bless you all abundantly!

All for God’s glory!

Dave, Helen & Abigail

First of all we would like to say, “HAPPY EASTER 2010!” Jesus’ Resurrection is the prove that He is the King of kings, the Ruler and the Savior. Only in Jesus Christ we find our hope and faith. Apostle Paul said that if Jesus never risen from death, our faith and belief in Him is useless and nothing (1 Corinthians 15:2). But God has proven that through Jesus and only His begotten Son that we have eternal life and the fullness of life (John 10:10). Now we have the confidence to continue walk in faith in God because of Jesus is alive!

Since Abigail was born in 2009, she hasn’t seen her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins in Indo. It was impossible to go because Abigail was too little for a long journey, Helen was in recovery stage from the surgery and Dave was quite busy. But this year, Abigail just turned to one year old and most of all it’s because of God and his blessings, we will go to Indonesia to visit families friends. Thank you so very much for supporting us in prayers and financial needs.

We will take the flights to LA and see some friends from previous SEA Disco Trips* for couple of days. Then we will take a long flight to Indo. We will stay at Helen’s parents’ house. We will see some friends at SID*, at KD*, at some churches, also to see some friends and family in Bandung. We hope and pray that God bless the plan and make this trip fruitful. Only God can make all things are possible! (* Please see Dave/Helen for the explanation.)

Our praise and thank to God, and to you all:
We praise God for providing the ways and all things that we need for this trip

We praise God for every people – families and friends – that God has sent to support us since the beginning and helping us in many ways. God bless you all because of your generous hearts!

Will you all be praying for us in this special trip: Here are our prayer request:
Pray for all our preparation spiritually & physically here.

Pray for our health and safety on the plane with a long hours flights, and protection from any harms. We plan to leave on May 8th.

Pray for comfort and peace in our hearts so we can have a great time and especially for Abigail so that she is able to handle all new things she will engage in this trip and all the changes that happen.

Pray for God’s love, blessing and protection for our families and friends in State; We’re gonna miss them so much.

Pray for Helen’s family and their needs spiritually, physically and financially.

Thank you so very much for praying for us and all what we need. God will show his grace, love and kindness to you. Thank you for showing us your love, supports and generosity. God bless you!

Dave, Helen & Abigail
