Overwhelming!

Friends,
  Thank you SO much for your willingness to help us get to Africa! We are so thankful for you, and are certain that these blessings are coming straight from our Father! It is such an awesome experience to go boldly before  Him, asking for $4000, and being able to blatantly see that need being met!  We give all of the glory to Him! Thank you for listening to Him, and being a blessing to us!

  Last weekend we had a HUGE garage sale! So many people contributed, and we had horse trailers full of couches, home decor, clothes, and everything else rolling into the church parking lot! (Shout out to Cornerstone Baptist Church for letting us use the facility!) Let me tell you something...garage sales are so much work! We could have never done it without our parents, siblings and friends being there to help unload, move stuff around, and then load everything back up! On top of all of that, I never heard one of them complain! It was hot, a lot of physical labor, and they used their Saturday to help us. Major blessings are going to be poured out on those angels!
   Our sale went so wonderfully! We made about $1,300 to be split between us! We were super excited and are thankful the Lord brought people in to buy our stuff!

Financially, we only need about $1,000 each to be fully funded!  We are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Looking for ways to be a blessing?? Or maybe you need a tax write-off??? Let me give you some suggestions:
1. Buy a ticket for our IPad giveaway! $10 for your name to be entered once. You can pay online by going to www.visitingorphans.org and clicking "Donate" and enter "Trish Yocum" or "Galilee Webb" in the team member box!! Or you can pay us in person!
2. Call us/Write us to come clean your house (Trish is doing that right now!), pull your weeds, babysit your kids, help plan birthday parties or date nights, tap-dance for you (hahaha. dont do this one!!) or anything else! We are willing to work!!
3. You can always make a tax-deductible donation by going to www.visitingorphans.org and clicking "Donate" and enter "Trish Yocum" or "Galilee Webb" in the team member box!!

We have a little less than a month until we are in Africa! We are confident that God will provide, and we are thanking Him in advance! Pictures from our garage sale to come :) Love you all!
