House Showing Insanity :)

God has blessed us so much over the past couple of weeks and we wanted to share some of that with you!  We have been praying about the house selling and, no it hasn’t sold yet, but in the last 2 weeks we have shown the house 9 different times!  6 of those showings were last week!  Sarah said that the house has never been cleaned top to bottom so many times in such a short period of time before!  We were definitely tired, but thankful that God had provided such strong encouragement for us.  There was also an offer that came out of those showings, but it was too low for us to be able to do it.  Still, it is encouraging to know that there is someone out there that wants the house enough to actually put down an offer.
By way of prayers, we also have been so blessed hearing from so many of you about how you have been praying!  Thank you!  Specifically now, we are praying that we can get out to Wyoming by August 1st and get started with the ministry there!  Please be praying along those same lines with us.  Of course, we want God’s will over all else, but we would really like to get started soon!  We will keep you posted of any progress!
Ben and Sarah and the kids
Praying that this is the Cline family by August 1st!

You are a HUGE blessing!

Wow!  We can't even begin to thank you all for the response that we've had as we share this new ministry that is coming soon.  You may have noticed that our shares pledged has gone up from 38 to 52!  You are a HUGE blessing!  This means that we are, by God's grace and tender mercies, at 32.5% of our financial support goal.  As far as our prayer partners goes, we have not set a maximum goal for the number of people that we'd like to have praying for us, so please keep us on your prayer list!  We know this is just the beginning of our journey in getting established in this new ministry, but we know that God is faithful...some prayer items for right now:
1.  Please keep on praying that our house would sell.  We have had only 1 showing in the last 3 weeks, so please also pray that God would keep us encouraged that we are still in His plans!
2.  Pray that God would show us how to complete our time in Utah according to His plan.  There is still plenty to do and plenty to be done, but we want to keep His plan in the forefront of our minds.
3.  Pray for sanity :) since the kids are out of school for the summer!  It is an adjustment, but we love having them at home! 
4.  Pray that God would miraculously provide 100% of our support goals even before we head out to Wyoming!  That would be amazing! 

Thank you for being willing to keep up with us in our adventures and service to the Lord.  Please contact us if we can pray for you in any way!

In His Service,
The Clines
