Missions

Hey everyone!

 Firstly I just want to say we are sorry for being so silent! School is in full swing now and it has been really hard to find time to post and share. I will make some time this weekend and share with you what has been happening.

 We just wanted to reach out and let you all know about a really exciting part of our BSSM journey! 

 In late March early April the whole school goes on Short Term Missions all over the world and we are so excited that we have both been accepted onto amazing Mission Trips!

 Elle is going on a trip to Tijuana, Mexico. When I first heard that I would go on a trip God really placed it on my heart to go to Mexico. I'm not sure why, maybe its because I love tacos or maybe God has an unreal opportunity for me to step out in faith and see Him move! We will be ministering in churches but mostly we will be ministering on the rubbish tip and in the red light district! We will also be on the streets following Holy Spirit and what he is doing!

 I am so excited about the opportunity to stretch myself and trust that God is going to use me on this trip!

 Chris has been accepted onto a pioneering trip to Chile! This is the first time BSSM Short term missions has gone to Chile and they will be heavily focused on building relationships but also on Ministering to the people of Chile. The team hosting them are BSSM Alumni who are experienced in Short Term Missions and are very excited to have BSSM come to their city this year. The people of Chile are hungry to see a move of Holy Spirit and it will be very exciting to see what happens!

 Chris is nervous but so excited about this trip!

 We are sharing this with you because we have a deadline looming for our deposit for the trip of Friday 2nd Nov (the 3rd Aus time) and we need your help. As many of you know our finances for this journey have not worked out the way we had planned and we are journeying that out with God but it means that we have no available funds to pay these deposits ourselves. Also the heart of the BSSM Short Term Missions is that people would partner all over the world with what God is doing. So we need your help! If the Lord prompts you to partner with us then I will put a link below with the amounts we need and you can donate with the online portal (just remember this is in $US) or you can get in touch with us and we can provide alternate ways to give, just comment on this blog and we'll get in touch.

 We sincerely appreciate any amount and know God is moving all over the world!
Chris needs $230 US
Chris Chile

 Elle needs $95 US
Elle Mexico (Tijuana)

 We love you guys and are praying for you all!

 Till next time,
Elle and Chris xx

Hello! Wow, how did we get to the end of October already? We have been so flat out since our last blog it has been tough to get time to write to you all. our home from the street. Great news, we found a home to live in! It was such a blessing from God and we can really see his hand on the whole process. We so appreciate those who financially assisted us to get into a home it really means the world to us! This home is such a blessing for the family and it is in an incredible location so close to all the buildings we have to get to for school!  God lined up a student to share our home with. It has been such a blessing and he is adding so much value to our home and family. The kids absolutely love Drew and we love having him around. He is also a 2nd year student at BSSM. He is from South Carolina and so we are navigating explaining the Australian way to him but he seems to be getting it!  The friday after we moved in we were off to Chico YWAM base on our retreat...

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...
