Justin and Angie Arender – Missionaries to the Philippines
Dear Pastor and Churches,
We had a great Christmas and New Year. We pray that you all had the same. Our time on deputation is coming to an end quickly. We will be leaving around March 15, 2011 on our way to Philippines. It is a very exciting time for our family but also a very nervous time. We have 64% of our support raised so far. We pray that the Lord will allow the rest to come in. We have enough faith to know that He will provide. We are booked up until about a week and a half before we leave. We are getting things ready and prepared as we go. There have been several churches that have sent money in to help with our plane tickets and we thank you! We now have enough money to purchase them!
All of this energy that children have is really catching up with our girls. Laken, Lauren, and Laci have done so well on deputation to be so young and full of energy, but all the sitting and riding they have had to do over the past year and are continuing to have to do is starting to catch up with them! They are ready to get to the Philippines themselves! We also found out this month of January that we are expecting our fourth child. We are really excited! This one will be born in the Philippines and we are praying for a healthy baby! My wife, Angie, however is praying for a healthy baby boy!
The next newsletter that you will be receiving from us will be when we are on the field in March. Thank you all so much for your support not only financially but prayerfully! Please continue to keep us in your prayers! We love you all!
In Christ,
Justin and Angie Arender
