Celebration...

Will Blackwell, a young man from our home church in Tellico Plains, TN., who has felt called of the Lord to come to Honduras and work alongside us and the children has finally gotten some positive response. Will has been 'banging on doors' of churches and pastors for months & months with very little encouraging results. Time after time he's been told, "We don't have the budget, we only support 'our' missionaries, we only give to the 'association', etc. etc." But last night a church stepped out in expectation and up in faith and rewarded Will for his perseverance in trying to walk out what the Lord has laid on his heart.

Two years ago Will met our children shortly after we did and that very day God spoke to his heart and told him he was to come here and help w/the kids. For the longest time Will never told anyone, trying to be sure it was God's will and not his that was speaking. Finally, he could deny the Word no longer and he announced his calling to the church body and began to raise funds to come to the field full time. He has been working diligently to retire his college loans and will have that accomplished by December of this year, which is his target date for the field. The enemy did everything he could to discourage Will, but Will has steadfastly pursued what he believed was God's will for his life.

Will will be a great asset to Joyce and I since the kids already know him well from his many visits and having spent a week with them here in our home. He will help me w/well drilling and team hosting and will help us daily w/the children. Please pray and ask God if he would have you support Will in any way, in any amount. If God puts it on your heart to help him you may make your checks payable to: Wellspring of Life and put "Will Blackwell" on the memo line.

Will needs to begin to receive regular monthly support beginning in October so he can pay his rent bill here in Honduras for December. Luke 6:38 "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom."
