Highlights of things you can pray about (February):

Selling/Refinancing of our House
We believe that we need to be moving in a direction of selling our house. To do this we will need to refinance it because the loan we have now is an interest only, adustible rate loan (ouch). If we can refinance then the payments my dad is making will start bringing the principle down so we can sell it in the future. We have tried to refinance in the past but haven't been able to find an appraiser that will appraise the house for enough to cover the current loan.

Student loans
This is something that has been a big discouragement to us as far as knowing that God has called us into missions and yet knowing that we have this giant mountain in the way. We have a large amount of student loan debt - and the International Mission Board will not select us with the amount of student loan debt that we currently have.

Our meeting with the IMB Representive.
We have a meeting scheduled with Dr. Panter from the International Mission Board on March 30th to go over some questions about selection to the IMB. Please pray for the meeting and also that God would just continue to guide us to where he would have us to be specifically. I've really been praying for this - and I hope that this meeting with Dr. Panter and my Missiology class can be used by God to give us a clearer picture.

Our "Community Group"
We have a small group from our church here in Louisville that meets in our apartment on Wednesday nights. Pray that I'll be able to do a good job leading (with all of my school work) and that we would be able to reach out to the people in our complex with the gospel. There are now a couple of guys in the same apartment building as us that I would like to be able to start a relationship with in order to witness to them. Neither is a believer and they are both at least semi-open to discussion about spiritual matters.

Financial Situation
God has been awesome to provide for us (especally through our church family) both before we left to come KY and since we have been here. We know that He will continue to provide for us but we know that doesn't mean we should stop praying for it. Money continues to be tight for (especially when I have to miss work for school from time to time). Pray that He will provide the finances and the peace that we need when it looks like we won't have enough.

Thank you guys so much for praying for us - and for reading this long message.

We love and miss you,
Chad & Andrea Bragg
