Hello all who have looked.

We are doing very well in preparation for Kenya. Support is at 75.8% monthly and 50% for one time expenses. We are really learning about God's faithfulness.

Please pray for our house to sell. The market is really slow in Reno, so it doesn't look great, but we know that with God all things are possible and we hold on to that.

This month Lisa will get her regular CT scan for follow up to her lymphoma. We are anticipating yet another clean scan after her three years of remission. Please pray for her as she gets anxious before she has one.

Matthew is doing well and working very hard. There are a lot of projects to do around the house before it can be listed, please pray for the time, energy and finances to get everything done that needs to be.

Jaden turned 5 yesterday and she was able to get a library card. What a proud little girl! She was so excited and checked out 5 read-along books. Too cute!

Katriel has learned to say "I Love You"! Some of the best words that I have every heard! What a joy having my two little blessings!

Push the e-mail button under "view my complete profile" and send me a e-mail letting me know that you are praying for us.

Financial Support Needed

Due to the generosity of our home church: Summit Christian Church, at this time we are only in need of 25% of our Monthly Support Requirement. This translates into $1500.00 per month.

We are still in need of people who feel led to give on a one time basis for our outgoing expenses. These include: airfare, house furnishings, cameras, laptop, and other items. If you feel led to give, but do not feel that a monthly giving is for you, please consider a one time gift.

In His Service,

The Abbotts

We do not take your investment lightly--it is a great blessing and encouragement to us and we thank God and pray for each person who joins my support network.

Bear Trap Ranch

We have arrived at our 9,100 ft elevation camp and are doing great. It has rained the last couple of days, but not too bad.

Please pray for us as we journey into our lives and heal past hurts and discover new strengths!

Nairobi here we come!

We have received confirmation that our application to Nairobi was accepted. Please pray for our training. We leave in a week!

Matthew walks!

On May 19, 2006 Matthew "walked" at University of Nevada, Reno in honor of his Master's degree in Philosophy! Doesn't this look like a happy man?!?

Garden of the Gods

What a great time!
Can you tell that it is 32 degrees out?

Colorado Springs Training

We will be going to Colorado Springs June 21st to July 28th for missions training! Please pray for safety in travel and that we get all we need to out of the training.

Yes. Jaden & Katriel will be going too!
