Odd Jobs

The brush pile

We continue our series of odd job highlights with a chainsaw massacre… of trees. It’s a manly feeling to cut down trees but it’s also sad that Michigan has been so devastated by the emerald ash borer. I guess it keeps me in a part-time job to earn extra money!

For those who’ve been following our emergency fund we’re happy to let you know that our side jobs have fully funded a savings account set aside just for emergencies with $500. We feel much better knowing we have a bit of money set aside in case something goes wrong that we were not expecting and we are hoping to add more to it soon!

The Internship… Day One

Posted by Ric and Sharon on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Trinity Church

Today we started an internship designed to launch us into ministry and continue our training at the church that sent us into Missionary Training (Trinity Church). Our titles are "Global Outreach Interns" and our tasks for the next few months  are taking shape as we meet with those supervising us. We will get far more out of the internship than the hours we put in and feel blessed to serve with such a dedicated and hard-working staff. We will certainly keep you updated on the progress and post more about it as it becomes clear to us. For now, we are excited and encouraged about what the next year has in store for us as we seek to raise the financial and prayer support we need to go to Cambodia next July.
