Help the Faulkners Move and Pay Some Bills

Hey everyone,


As most of you know a couple of things have happened in our lives in the last month.


On Thursday, June 17th I resigned as the Pastor of our church here in Buffalo Center at the request of the Conference. We were given 1 month's severance that starts August 15th (my last official day). But right now I am on an unpaid parental leave (because our second daughter, pictured below, was born June 12th). The leave is going to drain our savings as we pay all our bills for the month of July. Because of both of these events we find ourselves having to move and with about $5000 in medical bills. I am applying to jobs in Sterling Kansas at the moment and we are hopeful to find work and life there where we can put down roots. Being a parent is wonderful, but if I had foreseen this happening I would not have taken leave and we would still have plenty in savings.





The moving truck will cost us $2,000 and the medical bills $5,000, I've set the cap at $8,000 just to cover those unexpected moving costs and to cover the websites handling fees. We will also need help packing, getting the truck, loading the truck, driving the truck and our van as well as unloading and unpacking once we get to Sterling. The truck is scheduled for pick up on August 31st and payment on the truck is due then. As for these medical bills, they are due whenever we can get them paid off. That means we have 1 and a half months to get this all squared away and 2 months before we are tapped out unless everything comes together.


Please pray for us on this journey, God has been gracious so far and we know that returning to the Sterling area is what He has called us to do. Also pray that God provides a place for us to live, as we are awaiting the result of our loan application to buy a house and on Jobs I (Jonathan) have applied for.
