Hello all!

Welcome to the email newsletter from Josh and Cara.

We want to keep you informed and let you know about the plans for 2024.

Since August we have been raising support for our working fund. We have been in Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Texas. In our time on the road we have been in a different congregation almost every Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and Wednesday. Our goal has been to reach five thousand in monthly support. Praise God that we have been able to raise about forty-three hundred. We are still looking for congregations or individuals that would like to partner with us in this work. A special thank you to our supporters and all those that have let us use their hookups, helped connect us with elderships, and have been an encouragement through this process.

During our travels we have been able to reconnect with family and friends. As we have gone from place to place it has been amazing to experience the connections we have in the Lord’s church. We also enjoyed some time with our kids during their college break (pictured above).

We have been getting plans together for this year. Below, you will be able to see how our year is shaping up.

2024 at a glance:

• Easter Island - January 22 to February 8

• Matanzas and Colon, Cuba - February 19 to March 3

• Salmon, ID - April to June

• Central Florida Bible Camp Eustis, FL - July

• Cherokee, NC - August to October

Throughout the year we will continue to contact congregations to raise the remaining working funds. We will also be looking into other areas that we can be helping in 2025. This newsletter will be sent out at the end of every month in an effort to keep you informed about the work.

We are excited about what this year holds and are thankful for your part in the work.
