Our next step of Faith

In only three weeks we will be in Switzerland working towards Joseph's final goal of finishing his degree. It has been awesome to see how God has been providing the finances for this next step. In addition to the car wash, mentioned below, we shared with our church here in Hawaii about our future goals including our plans for Switzerland. They were amazingly generous to us in this effort, even through the church is 50-75 people weekly, we received over $850 dollars! It was such an awesome experience to see God working in the hearts of those generous people towards us.
We also did one more fundraiser here on campus. Meleah made some HUGE ice cream sandwiches which we sold during lunch and was blessed with another $50 dollars. That fundraiser caused us to have the perfect amount for our tickets which were almost $300 dollars less than we were expecting. So in an act of faith we purchased our tickets and are still trusting God for the rest of the money before the end of the month.

We are both in awe of God's hand in our life during the past three weeks, He has shown himself more than faithful and we are both have total peace to see the rest of the $5000 to come in before the end of the month.


Another praise report is that we recently found that Joseph will not need to apply for a visa to travel to Switzerland or study there, thanks to him having an US Permanent Residence card, it being the only exception for him needing a visa. God is so awesome!!!


Thank you so much for your faithful prayers on our behalf and for your continued support. We love hearing from you and can't wait to tell you of how God provided the rest of our money!

Working at the Car Wash
















A few weeks ago we held a car wash at the lower end of the campus and it was fun. God was so faithful to us during this time. We had cars nonstop from 9 am to 2 pm when we finally called it quits. Even after we took down the signs we were still having to turn cars away that kept coming anyway.
We had some awesome friends who helped us all day long. But above all else, the most amazing thing was God's faithfulness in using this time as a way to provide for our trip to Switzerland. After six hours God provide $900 dollars to us!! Never have I heard of anyone making this much during a car wash and it just goes to show that God is our ultimate provider.


It was not only an awesome fundraiser but it was a great opportunity to share what the University of the Nations is all about, to those in the community .
As you can see in the picture we had some nice cars to wash.














It was such an awesome day, thanks be to God alone!!!
