Wrapping up our time here in Ludington!
Hi friends!
It’s been a crazy week! Our house is almost completely empty as we sell off most of our things and pack the remaining in preparation for Costa Rica!
The other day our car (already scheduled for repairs) started acting up. We need to haul our enclosed trailer to the east side of Michigan! What are we going to do!?
So we prayed and within hours, a couple from church offered their truck before even knowing about our car situation. Such an immediate answer to prayer!
How you can pray with us:
That we’re able to finish selling/packing everything before our move-out deadline.
That our car keeps running or gets into the shop sooner than scheduled.
For continued guidance as we continue raising support and connecting with churches throughout July.
✈️ Big news: We bought tickets! We fly to Costa Rica on August 5th! We’ll return briefly for Rachel’s brother’s wedding, then head back long-term by the end of August.
We’re so grateful for the support, encouragement, and love we’ve felt during this time. This season is stretching us, but we’re constantly reminded: God provides.
Much love,
The Swifts
