Hello Dear Ones!
August was truly a blessed month for us! God showed up in so many ways as we have been working harder than ever before in our lives to prepare for the journey ahead to Peru. We are weary, but He is strong! He shows us this truth every day that we give over to His hands. We hope that you are able to sense His strength working in and through your life as well.
We have just returned from an amazing visit to Boston (quick but awesome!), where we raised over $1,000 and were able to catch up with a lot of Holly’s old friends and family that live there. It was so refreshing to see them and share about all the glorious things God has done over the last five years since Holly moved to Atlanta. How wonderful to have their support and prayers lifting us up as we embark on this new adventure in our lives.
September is finally here! It’s hard for us to believe that we’ve been planning this for more than a year, and it is finally coming to pass. We finish out our full-time jobs on Thursday, September 6th, which is a bittersweet ending for us both, as we have both been at our current jobs for three years and love what we do and who we work with. We will be traveling to Dallas, TX the first weekend of the month to speak at a church there (and return in time for our Farewell BBQ on Labor Day!). We will be in California the 7th-12th, then tying up loose ends, and finally, holding our Commissioning Dinner/Silent Auction on the 15th. If you are able to make it to that or to our Commissioning Service the next morning at Landmark Church in Norcross, we’d love to see you!
Please continue to pray for us, as we hope to raise an additional $7,000-8,000 dollars more before we fly to Peru on September 20th. We need to find a few more monthly supporters as well. We have put together a DVD, and if you would like a copy to share with your church or friends, please email hollyjcompton@gmail.com so we can send one out to you. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events or staying in touch via email! Our next monthly letter will be written from Peru! We love you and are so grateful for each of you.
Bendiciones,
Alex & Holly
