God answered a huge prayer this morning when Bethany voted to support me and Nicole with Africa this summer. Money has been a huge concern recently, as the price of plane tickets continue to rise. As of yesterday, they had reached $2400 with taxes and fees, which is about $900 more than they were when we began planning for this trip. Needless to say, Nicole and I were praying! And boy did God pull through. We are so thankful that the church decided to support us. God made it possible for the church to support us for about half of our plane tickets, which is more than we even thought was possible!
This has been such a growing experience for me thus far. I have never before had to rely on God to bring in the money, and so far He has been so faithful! I am very excited to see how He brings in the remaining $1625 (assuming the plane tickets don't go up anymore in the near future, which is definitely something you can be praying for).
Nicole and I were also informed today that anyone interested in supporting us individually can make a donation through the church and thus receive a tax deduction. If this is something that interests you, all you need to do is write "Bri for Africa" and/or "Nicole for Africa" (whomever you would like to support) in the memo line of the check and place it in the offering plate on Sundays. You can also write "Bri for Africa" and/or "Nicole for Africa" on the blue offering envelope in which your donation is enclosed and place the envelope in the offering plate.
Thank you all so much for continuing to pray for me, Nicole and for the trip as a whole! I will try my best to update this blog as more updates come.

You are right...God's faithfulness is great! I'm praying He continues to bring the money in for you both!
