Missio Colonia | Kevin and Kathi in Cologne, Germany

Now that we are wrapping up our time in Illinois, I'm starting to feel like we're gaining some momentum. This past weekend we moved up 2% in our monthly support to reach 20%! No more languishing in the teens! We added three new partners in the last few days, and we're meeting some new contacts that are enthusuastic about what we're doing. Both Kathi and I are really encouraged by all of this. It feels good to be moving forward.

We also had a very surprising opportunity this weekend. Our church here in Illinois, Vineyard Community Church, let us set up a table in the lobby after our service on Sunday. I didn't think that this would be very fruitful and that the most we'd get would be some stares and a few awkward smiles. But, we had so many people come up and talk to us offering their prayers and encouragement. We even talked to a few people that might be interested in support us! We'll be doing the same thing next Sunday, so please pray in particular that we would be able to meet with these connections and make new friends next week.
