As you can correctly assume by the title of this blog, I am now at 89% in monthly support (and climbing)! Praise the LORD!
What does 89% look like, you may ask…well, it looks something like this:
I found out last week, after talking and consulting with my team leader, that my monthly support budget was set higher than it needed to be, which resulted in knocking out about $500/month. Then, while we waited to hear back from the home office on the new budget, we talked about potential departure dates, etc.
The next morning, the confirmation from the home office in Lawrenceville came through, and God provided abundantly above and beyond what we (my team leader and I) asked for! Not only did they approve the reduction of $500/month, but, because there is another line item that is percentage of the overall monthly budget, going down $500/month also resulted in that going down about $100/month! So, I quickly went from needing about$950/month, down to needing a little more than $400/month!
Soon after all of this, I received another confirmation from a wonderful family I had met along the way, during my May travels, which had now taken me down to needing only $350/month to go, before I can move to Ukraine! WOW!
I’m now writing to you from beautiful, green, majestic Seattle. 
I arrived here on Wednesday, after an overly-long lay-over in Salt Lake City, around 2pm pacific time. With only about 4 hours sleep under my belt from the night before, and about 7 hours travel time (I know, 7 hours from Denver to Seattle! I’ve flown from New Jersey to Poland in that same amount of time!), I finally arrived. Luggage completely in tact (you may remember my other traveling blogs and joys of United Airlines playing dodge ball, and testing their throwing arms with my bags), and a mix up at the rental car counter when they mistakenly rented out their last economy car even though I had reserved one (which resulted in a free upgrade! Bonus!), I was on the road to my hotel in Kent, to stop, clean up, gather what I needed, and then headed down to Faith Presbyterian in Tacoma to meet with their Wednesday night Prayer &Devotion group.
Walking into Faith, I was reminded of summers with my aunt and uncle who were members there. The sweetness of reflecting on worshipping brought a joy and peace to me, looking forward to worshipping again with my uncle in Heaven.
Yesterday, I had more of a free day, only with a dinner meeting with some family friends (a truly sweet, joyful couple), and spent the day taking in some sites that I hadn’t seen in probably 15-20 years.
Today is a busy day, as I’m writing this post in between meetings with various churches throughout the Seattle area. Please pray for the meetings I’ve already had, and for the ones I yet to have, that God will richly bless them, and my remaining 11% will come in soon! I’m eager (okay, VERY, VERY eager) to get to L’viv, and am hoping for a late-September departure date.
Upon my return to Denver late Sunday night, a whole new set of things start happening: finishing up my visa application, proceeding with pre-departure paperwork, meeting with my friend and attorney who will assist me finalizing my living will, power of attorney, etc., and Lord willing, finishing up any last remaining monthly support.
Well, time to head out again!
Thank you for your support, love, and lifting me before our Father’s throne!
Blessings and Peace,
Adam
