FINAL APPROACH!

Hi Friends and Family,

It has been a flurried couple of weeks getting all of our business in order. I am taking a day off to do those things that you just cannot do between the hours of 7PM and midnight! We are racing toward the finish line. Walk through is next Thursday at 10 AM and closing is Friday, April 24th. I am a mix of emotions!

Thank you to all who have prayed and are praying for us! My eyes have been opened to a family that I have longed for. This family is no longer just a concept, but a tangible, living organism filled with the Spirit of God! We are connected, alive together in Christ! I am not alone, and that is priceless to me!

My car is sold. I have been allowed to drive it until next Thursday. We are going to pick up an SUV at a rental place near the airport next Wednesday. One large enough hopefully to contain 7 large suitcases plus carry-ons. That way we can carry ourselves to the airport on the 29th without interrupting someone's work day. If it will not carry 7 large suitcases plus carry-ons, we may be calling you for help! Thank you in advance! 

We do have a place to stay for the final few days after closing on the house. Many thanks to those of you who have offered your home to us! It really is amazing how things have worked out, particularly in such a limited time frame. God is Good!

To update you on our financial progress...We are almost there! Together we are required a minimum of $24,000 for basic expenses. At this moment we stand at 80% funded! We are in need of $5,000 dollars to complete the basic funding for our first year in Japan. If you would like to be a part of this venture and have not had the opportunity, the 2 easiest ways to give are outlined below:

•    Paypal: for US or Canadian dollar donations: Go to www.pazjapan.org and click on the donate link. Our names are listed on the "donation to" drop-down menu. Please note, if you change from "one-time gift" to “monthly donation”, the drop-down menu will default back to the PAZ Japan general fund. So, you will need to select one of our names again. If the funds are donated to the general fund, they must remain there due to US tax and audit requirements.

•    Check or Money Order: payable to Project AmaZon, P.O. Box 3253, Peoria, Illinois 61612. Please indicate on a separate piece of paper if for Rhonda or Jennifer Hurley. If you intend to give to both, write both names on a piece of paper and indicate how much is to be donated to each one.

Thank you so much for your support!

Rhonda
