Brussels 4!

4 weeks to go before we move to Brussels! We're safely home from out of town
trips and experienced gifts of God's grace all along the way. Now we're
packing, finishing school assignments, and making final arrangements. Our
departure date is August 2.

God has demonstrated his goodness to us over and over again through you and
we want to say thanks. Your friendship with us means so much, as do your
expressions of love and support. I really believe that we are a team through which
God will make his fame known in new and exciting ways.

This is an important week for us because we will have our whole Brussels team
in town, as well as leaders from Christian Associates, for a "Team Launch."
Please pray Monday and Tuesday for our meetings, relationships, love for God
and each other, clarity of vision, decisions about team roles, etc.

Upcoming events to which Hampton Roads residents are invited:
- Saturday, July 10: Brussels breakfast, 9am, Valley Food Service in Norfolk
- Sunday, July 11: Brussels-focused worship services at Tab Church
- Sunday, August 1: Sunday evening Deal send-off - including worship,
prayer, and waffles - at Tab Church, time TBA

Some answers to prayer:
- We believe God is leading us towards home school for our kids for our first
few months in Europe. This will be new for us, but we can all see advantages.
- We're almost finished raising monthly support! Grace Bible Church decided
to start supporting us and Va Beach Community Chapel increased their support!
- Our Advocacy Group at Tab is fantastic! They designed our website, planned
the breakfast, helped with flights and cars and more!

Some prayer needs:
- Keep praying for the letter of invitation. We have everything else we need
to make permit applications and we want to receive this letter before we
leave the U.S.
- We are still raising outgoing support. We are praying this month for a
total income of $16,600! It's exciting to trust God for that which is beyond us.
- Pray for joy and peace in our home as tasks mount and deadlines near.

General info
- We're selling a 93 Honda (high highway mileage, but excellent condition)
for as close to $4,000 as we can get. If interested, let me know.

Again, let me express my gratitude to you. You are receiving this email
because our paths have crossed and our hearts have met on matters of God's
Kingdom. Whatever joy we know in our relationship in his name is overshadowed by His
joy that we've connected. That's exciting!

By faith,
Carlton
