Missions and more!

-
Hello!!! 

 Well missions has arrived!  Chris departed for Santiago Chile on Wednesday and I for Tijuana Mexico on Friday of last week!  It has been an amazing time for both of us so far, seeing miracles and transformation wherever we go. God is on the move over the entire earth. 

 There have been incredible testimonies coming from all over the world while the teams are out! If you want to hear them I encourage you to look up and follow 'Increase' on Facebook or Instagram and look for the #BSTM2019! 

 Charlee and Declan are staying in Redding with some families from BSSM who kindly opened their homes to them. 

 We will send another blog when we get back and give you a run down of highlights!!! 

 I wanted to reach our because Charlee and Declan have something exciting coming up and they would love your support ! Their school is having a colour run!!! (or color run because we're in America!) This is a major fund-raiser for their school and there are prizes for the kids when they achieve certain levels including sunglasses, t-shirt, no homework passes etc!!

 Would you support them? You can donate online using the following link BETHEL.WS/BCSCOLORRUN. You will want to choose from the drop down box 2019 bcs color run 1st &2nd Booth to sponsor Declan and then BCS color run 2019 4th Brown to find Charlee!  They would appreciate any support even a couple of dollars and I'll make sure I send a blog with lots of photos out after the event! There's about 3 weeks left to donate! 

 We are in desperate need for finances, we are scraping the bottom of the barrel! God has been incredibly faithful up until now and we know he is always faithful. We are so grateful for all the support we've received up until now and we absolutely couldn't have gotten this far without all those who have generously given. Would you prayerfully consider if you can support us at this time? Our faith is in God and his provision! Reach out to us via email or messenger and we can give you details of how. 

 Lastly a just a couple of prayer Requests:

 - In the lead up to missions I (Eloise) hurt my back quite badly. I would appreciate your prayers for healing, I'm determined to not let it impact too greatly on my trip but it's super painful so I also have to be wise! I am so covered in prayer here but appreciate yours too! 
- Pray for both of us on our trips and the kids back in Redding as well
- Continued prayers as we consider a 2nd year here. We certainly believe that our time is not done and that God has so much more for us here! 

 Much love and blessings to you all! 
Elle and Chris

Hello, A huge part of our school year is Missions trips and in 2nd year we are also blessed to have the opportunity to go on Ministry trips as well. This year we are staying close to home but are so excited about the opportunity to be a part of a tent revival in Stockton, California. Stockton is about 2hrs south from Redding and is a community in great need of the love of Jesus!  On a mission trip or main priority is evangelism. So our trip will be focused around loving on the people of Stockton. We will do this through handing out food parcels, street evangelism and culminating in night time tent revival services. We are on a small team of 20 people and we will be the first team of 5 to head down and start the ministry. We are so excited about this opportunity and what we will learn and how we will see God move over the course of the 3 days. This opportunity will give us a chance to see how revival can hit a city when we just come to love on people,...

A quick update

Hello! We just wanted to quickly drop by and give an update on what's been happening since our last post. We have started our 2nd year of BSSM! It's been an incredible week, already learning and absorbing so much! We are absolutely convinced that God has us here for this time and this year, it's so exciting! Praise God Chris's tuition is fully paid off!! Thank you so much if you sowed into that, we bless you in return. We moved out of our original home that we had moved into. We are staying with some beautiful friends while we continue to search for a new place. It has proved very difficult in our circumstances to rent and sign a lease. It's complicated but let's just say the US is different to Australia and when you are not allowed to work while you are here it can be hard to prove how you will pay your rent. We have had some incredible offers from people however there always seems to be a hurdle we can't get over. So please continue to pray for...

Hello everyone! We are really getting down to the last few weeks of school with only 5 school days until our graduation. It has been a whirlwind since we arrived back in Redding after our Mission trips (more on them later) and it has certainly made us miss Australia and are very much looking forward to heading home for a few months in June. Before we share about our mission trips we want to take a moment to let you know of our current need. We truly believe that God bought us here to BSSM for so many reasons and he has done so many incredible things in our hearts and lives! It has of course not been without it's challenges and one of our biggest has been our finances. We have done everything we possibly could to allow God to use our assets and what we have worked for to pay for this adventure but for whatever reason he has chosen not to.  God has been so faithful to us providing for us in so many different ways. We have a huge need right now to finish paying for Charlee and D...
