Day 17: Interceding

The Mason's are here! 


Tony and Colleen Mason (+ 3 girls) are fellow missionary-pastors who have joined our team. They join us from Illinois, and are called to plant a church in Waimea. They arrived just over 3 weeks ago, and we are so excited they are here! Eric and I had the chance to sit in their Illinois home and meet them over coffee and muffins back in August. Moves like this take time, and for us, it's exciting to see the planning and preparatory work of the last 8+ months coming to fruition. Justice instantly gained 3 new friends, and we have teammates!


But here's their current status: Homeless. Their family is currently surviving off the generosity of others... people they have known less than a month.  (Let me interject a special thank you to those people, and others, who have extended a hand to help in any way they can. I can say with confidence, the Masons are grateful.) Due to varying circumstances, they do not have a home to live in.  Simply, there are a VERY limited number of homes available, and our income situation is unique because we are missionaries.  You can just trust me when I say, it's not that simple.

The Mason Ohana needs our prayers. All of us.  They have written an open and transparent blog here.  I invite you to read it (and browse around for more of their story - it's inspiring!).

Please join me in interceding on their behalf starting NOW!
