Going or Staying

Thursday, at a morning appointment, my morning prayer about wisdom was answered. We have been praying about presenting our need for partners as we continue on with our journey to bring the gospel to the unreached. It's been a busy summer for everyone, making it a little more difficult than we thought to share our needs with our family and friends. We knew we wanted to share our need but wasn't sure how.

Our need to bring the gospel to the unreached people groups.

 

 

 

    As I was talking with a friend this week about our need for monthly support, she kindly responded by tell me, "Well, we're going to support you monthly." I was blown away because they had already given us a one time gift and they had blessed us and supported us in other ways as well. It was at that point that I realized we do need to share where we are with our forming partners to come along side us as we continue our training for the mission field. I realized that there may be people that are wanting to give, but have not had the opportunity.

 

Opportunity to allow people to partner with us, making it possible for the gospel to be brought and shared for the 1st time with the people in Papua New Guinea.

 

Or the Philippines



Here is where we are in continuing on with the next step of our training....
August Payment              100%

Monthly School Payment 98%

Monthly Expenses 0%
(Monthly Expenses include groceries, phone, insurance, etc.) ~ We're praying for partners that will support us monthly to help off set the cost of living. We have an amount that we believe we can live at while at the MTC. We currently do not have monthly supporters to help off set the cost of living. If you have questions about this please feel free to ask us about this.




What does that mean for us moving forward in this training....
To be able to financially attend the Missionary Training Center in 2.5 weeks we need partners to join us in bringing the gospel to the unreached.

What does it look like for Partners to join with us....
This could happen several different ways. Our current partners have supported us by giving us a one time gift. Other partners are supporting us by sending us support monthly.

If you want how to partner with us....
Please contact us by email, Brenda.rockwell3@yahoo.com, by phone, 260-273-9152, or Facebook, KentandBrendaRockwell, to let us know you're interested in partnering with us. Then we can give you the proper information and paperwork to join with us for the important task of spreading of the gospel to the unreached.

   As I sit and write this, I have to rest in how God's going to work this out. We knew when we started at NTBI that we would continue to go to MTC. And now here we are. We've been praying since October that God would provide the people to partner with us to make our training at MTC a reality. We really believe that God's plan is for us to be there this fall. Now I simply have to do what I've been doing all summer after we communicate our need, wait to see how God moves people to respond.
  
Waiting to see how the unknown turns out is difficult, stressful, and exhausting. But it's where we are right now. By August 10th, we'd like to have 100% of our support so we can pack our things and leave Bluffton on August 12th. I'm ready for the unknown to be over with. Which brings a smile to my face because a new unknown will enter our lives as this one comes to a close. But that's ok. I'm ready for this one to come to a close, it's be a long journey.

If you've made it all the way to the end of this post, Thank you! Thank you for taking the time to read about our need and how others can partner with us to reach the unreached. It's pretty cut and dry.... either we go, because the support came in.... or we don't, because it didn't. Please be praying with us as we wait to see how God moves hearts and works this all out.
