For my dear friend

My friend and her husband have been placed heavily on my heart lately. Some of you may know them, Betsy was my roommate in college, and her husband Andrew. They have an adorable daughter named Noura, who is a real miricle and testament to God's grace. They have been through sooo much this past year. Noura was born three months early, and it has been a really long journey to get where they are today. Now they are off on a brand new scary adventure to Africa. Andrew has been called to help set up a chirstian radio station. I don't know much about it, but you can check out their blog for more info (there is a link on my blog) NEway they are leaving in August, and still haven't raised near enough money, and while they are trying their hardest, they have faced some oppostion that has really set them for a spin. I know how hard it is to raise money and have faith that you know everything will be alright. You all supported us genoursly when we were in St. Louis weather it was finacially or through your prayers. Now I am asking you to help out one of my closest friends. If you aren't able to donate money, at least please pray for them. One thing I have learned since moving here is that prayer is a VERY POWERFUL thing. So please keep them in your prayers. They need to raise $14,000 by August, which is a huge amount. So just please be praying for them that they feel God's presance and leading in their journey, and that money will start coming in and some of the stress will be realived. Thank you so much for praying for them, I am sure they will appreicate it.
