We are officially 1/4 of the way to our monthly goal! I am so excited to see God move, but we still have a ways to go before we are Alaska bound!
Thanks to everyone that has joined our support team! Things are moving quickly here in the Hallam house. We spent this past weekend moving out of our Arizona home. Every time we move I forget just how much work it is! This time was especially difficult because Noah was sick while we were trying to move out, and then I (Lindsay) got strep Sunday night, so Steve had to finish the moving by himself. I am so blessed to have such a hard-working husband!
We are now living with Steve's parents until it is time to head up to Alaska. Currently there are 7 of us staying here until Granny heads back to Missouri next weekend. It is tight, but everyone has been so helpful and supportive! Marsha and Curt have been so kind to let us fill every extra space in their home with all of our daily necessities! We are supposed to be in Alaska by June first, but we cannot make any permanent moving plans until we know that we will be fully funded by June. Which brings me to this next section:
We have had several people ask us about the giving time-line. We created this flyer to help answer the two most common questions about giving:
- When should I start giving?
- What type of giving do you need?
After we finish with all of the moving we will be focusing on support raising again. If we mailed you a support packet with information about what we will be doing in Alaska we will be giving you a call in the next week or two to answer any questions you might have.
We have set a date for our fundraising lunch, Saturday March 30th at 1pm at the McCormick Ranch Golf Club. They have graciously offered the use of their facilities and staff free of charge! I am working on setting up a way to purchase tickets to the lunch online, so watch for that information soon. Tickets will be $15 to cover the cost of food (which we are getting at-cost from the golf club). We will be sharing more about what we will be doing in Alaska, and presenting the opportunity to join our team if you have not already done so. There will also be donated entertainment and some fun auction activities.
Steve and I will be heading back up to Alaska mid-April for a fast weekend of house hunting. It will be great to check in with the students and talk to them about how their semesters are going!
I think that is all that is going on for now. Please keep praying for the students and staff at ACC, our family, and the support raising process!
