MISSION-33

What is MISSION-33? This year I (Wes) turned 33. It got me thinking, 33 is a pretty good number. It’s the approximate age of Christ when he died for our sins. King David ruled 33 years in Jerusalem. It’s the atomic number of arsenic (not sure how that fits). It’s Larry Bird’s old number with the Celtics.

As you can see there is great meaning involved with this number. In my search to discover more facts about this number I found countless websites dedicated to the conspiracy theories involving the number 33 as well as a lot of bad information being referred to as facts.

Well, you’re probably wondering what my interest in the number is. I’m thinking more along the lines of finances. $33. Would you be willing to adopt us, support us, send us, supply us, finance us, employ us for only $33 dollars a month? If we can get 33 people to to give $33 a month we would be much closer to meeting our monthly goal. Do you believe in our ministry? Do you believe in what we are doing? Will you give $33 a month.

Moving On/Texas Bound

(Spending time with Hasslers in San Antonio)

Elaine: The clouds are really moving up there.

Wes: The clouds are always moving in Texas. One minute they’re a bunny shape then next...they’re...cloud shape. 

What an imagination he has! ;-)

We left Aurora two Thursdays ago, drove south through Colorado and across the corner of New Mexico, that was a pretty chunk of our drive. Once we got into the panhandle of Texas I (Elaine) discovered something: a new definition to “middle of nowhere.” There is a whole lot of nothing between Colorado Springs and Amarillo, TX. Once you head south from there you pass through a series of populated football stadiums until you hit the DFW area. (Any of you who grew up playing or attending football games at Bald Eagle-Nittany should know that any town with over 24 people in TX has a football stadium, with lights.) I always feel like its a cultural experience, being in Texas. We sat at a traffic light and counted six different fast food taco restaurants in Burleson: Taco Bell, Taco Bueno, FasTaco, Taco Casa, Taco Cabana & Primo Taco.

I’m about to get a much bigger helping of all things Texas. We’re relocating! We had planned to make several road trips this summer but during this trip we’ve really seen God leading us a different direction. To learn more, please click here and read our latest e-mail, Life's Progressive Dinner.

Thanks for the Prayers,

Elaine

Deep in the Heart of Texas

(This was Ada's name tag at Cleburne Bible Church this past Sunday)

We made it to Texas and are hard at work telling our friends, families and churches about our next steps with Cadence. We have been busy. Between showing Silas off to my side of the family for the first time and meeting with various pastors and friends we are getting more and more excited about our next assignment. We do need prayer as we consider some big changes in our current plans to raise the funds we will need. Please lift us up in regards to making the right decision as well as God providing for all our financial needs by the fall.

If you are in North Texas and want to get together with us please email me and we will set something up (our emails are at the bottom of the page)

Seeking His Glory,
Wes
