Day 2 of Fasting and Praying...

To recap, Shane and I fasted yesterday over our finances. We asked God to provide us with $900 in our checking account tomorrow for rent, and $3000 in our E3 account by Sunday for Israel. Last night we received a check for $100 for Israel, and $20 for our bills. Praise God! 

Today we are praying that God would make it clear if we are to go to Israel. We want Him to either make that door WIDE open, or SLAM it shut! I'm feeling like He wants us to go, since we received more money for it yesterday, so we are planning a couple of fundraisers. I am going to throw a tea party in Mid July. I'm not sure if I will be charging a certain amount at the door, or will just ask for donations, but if I could get 60 women in my home (I have enough room for all the tables) to pay $10 each, there's $600! Shane is doing a fundraiser for men and its going to be a poker tournament. We were thinking we would have everyone start off playing in groups of four, and the winner of each table plays in the final round. We were going to charge $10 or $15 per person to play, which would all go to our trip. We will have a gift card at the end for the winner. 

Either way, we need God to confirm we are going to Israel, and He is going to have to provide the money. Shane and I don't even have enough to pay our bills, so if we meet our goal, it will only be because of God, and Him working through you all. 

Please continue to pray for our finances and Israel. Pray we would have $900 in our account by Thursday to pay for rent, and that God would provide the money needed to pay the rest of our bills, as well as provide us with gas and groceries. Please also pray with us that we would have $3000 (half of the money needed) in our E3 account for Israel by Sunday.
