June 2025

Hello friends! This month has been a busy one already! 

-We are going to Antigua, Guatemala for the month of July! Our current goal is to move in September, with at least 90% raised before we do that official move. We are optimistic! We gained pledges of support this month! With hopes to see fruition in the near future. 

-We went back to MI a couple weeks ago to celebrate a couple of our family members having graduated from high school! We got to see a lot of our friends and family again there! We also celebrated mine and Kaylee’s birthdays, and Father’s Day after coming back here to IL.

-We visited a supporting church in MI, participated in VBS at our home church, and visited another local church in IL with hopes of connections. We also potentially gained new individual partners for the future this month! 

Encounter Update:

-Encounter Academy is on break for the summer until July 22.

-Last year Caitlin helped a lot with making the core curriculum that can be recycled for Math and language classes. But this year, she will be working on helping create curriculum for the social studies and science classes for Pre-K to 6th graders. 

This month she has been working on the first four weeks of schoolwork. 

-We were both asked to help teach a couple classes when we are there during the first two weeks of school. One of those opportunities we will teach together, so we are planning social studies together. Caitlin will also help teach the youngest grades  grammar in their Spanish class. 

Prayer Requests:

-Pray for safety in our travels to, and back from Guatemala. From July 4th to July 30th.

-Praise God for some new connections we made. We met some future prayer and financial partners this month!

-Praise we have made it further through the process of our church becoming our sending church.

-Pray that God will help us raise the rest of our money needed by or in September. 90% is needed, 100% would be a great surprise. 

-Pray that our daughter will adapt well to Guatemala for July and when we move there.
