Finally, we have come to the end of another soccer season here at ICS-Uijongbu. Our last regular season game concluded last night in a 2-0 win over cross-town rivals, Indianhead International School. The win put us in 3rd place for the division, a tremendous accomplishment for a team that started the season with 3 losses and 1 tie. Our defense and goalie have not allowed a goal in the last 4 games. That's 320 minutes of play time! Additionally, our offense has outscored the competition 22-4 in our last 7 games! In short, God has answered your prayers and mine, in that the boys have come together and played as a single unit. Thank you so much for petitioning the throne of God on their behalf!
We now move on to the season ending tournament on Friday and Saturday. We are scheduled to play our first game on Friday at noon. If we win that game, we will play again at 3:30 in the afternoon. And if we win that second game, we will play in the tournament championship game on Saturday afternoon. Our boys still have a lot of playing time left, so please continue to lift them up in your prayers.
We signed a contract with the moving company on Monday evening, and they will be coming to pack-up our stuff on Friday, May 29th, which is also when the rest of the shipping cost ($2,180.49) is due. Bethany Baptist is sending $2500 to help off-set those moving costs, but we will also need a good amount of money when we arrive in California for various other start-up costs, not the least of which are car insurance, health insurance, groceries, gas for the car...and the list continues. We won't have a paycheck from the church until the end of July. So, while the moving costs have been provided for, there are still other things that require God's providence. Please PRAY that all these details will be worked out completely, and ask God how He would have you to help.
For those who may be interested, our address in California will be: 4515 Grothman Lane, Martinez, CA, 94553. It seems so surreal that we now have an address in the USA once again. It's been so long since that has been the case. Praise the Lord for His goodness and care for my family and I!
That's about all for now. More updates will come in the following weeks. One last prayer request, though. I am experiencing very strong "withdrawal" symptoms. What I mean by that is that as we draw closer to our departure, I am having a harder time focusing on the task at hand. I am mentally ready to begin the new ministry to which God has called me, but I know that I also need to finish well and strong here first. So, please PRAY that God will help me to complete this work in Uijongbu well, while still being receptive to the things He is teaching me for my new ministry in Martinez.
In His Service,
Sam, Dulcy, Michael, David, and Katherine Healey.
