This week is our fifth year in Asia!
We love our home, we love our friends, and really even on bad
days we love our work. We have been so honored to call this our home. It has
been such an amazing journey of learning so many things. We have reached goals
and dreams and still have more to reach. We would love to come in person and
tell you all about the great things going on here. We need to travel back to
America about every 18 months for about 6-8 weeks. This is necessary so that we
can update, teach, encourage others to go out, and to also be encouraged.
Well, its exciting that our trip rolls around this time during
the holidays, because it's also been five years without being home for the
holidays. So we are excited to be in America this holiday season. My mouth
already waters at the visions of the thanksgiving table in my head. My heart
smiles as I think about being with family Christmas Eve. I can't wait to sing
Christmas songs with so many friends on Christmas morning! It's been five years
since we experienced these things. My kids haven't seen Christmas lights and
are starting to forget what it's like. One of my favorite memories as a kid was
driving through streets enjoying the display of lights. So yes, we are ready to
experience the freedom and joy this holiday season!
But! We do need help. To be honest we hate having to ask, but at
the same time we know people need to know our needs. I am trying to better
communicate these needs. So in order for us to return for the holidays, we have
to raise an extra $6,000 for our family of five to purchase round trip tickets.
So, if any of you would take time and see if this is your way to partner with
our family, please do! We have it set up right here on our blog to
give you a tax deductable receipt using a credit/debit card so it’s
easy! If you would like to do it though the check, you can do that too.
Shelia can give you details if you contact her at, bkintime@aol.com
Thank you for considering helping our family. Enjoy the pictures
