One Year Update

Hello Everyone! Just wanted to give you a quick update on what has been going on with Kaye and I over the past few weeks. Just a week ago we celebrated our one year anniversary down in Panama City Beach. One of our supporters allowed us to use their condo and the trip was a great opportunity for us to get away and connect. We spent most of our days laying on the beach and taking naps. We are now back to the real world and back to the support raising trail. We have raised about $700-750 a month and have about $1050-1100 to go. We are continuing to fight our deficit which fluxuates each month with us already being below our goal. All your prayers and support have been a great blessing and we would ask you guys to continue to pray that over the next month God would bring in the rest of our support before the summer project. We will continue to keep you updated and enjoy the pictures! Ben and Kaye Creasman



If any of you want to contact Kaye and I to meet to hear more about what has gone on this past year just email us at bencreasman@gmail.com or kayecreasman@gmail.com . We would love to meet with as many of you as possible over the next month before June.

Prayers and Provision

It has been a very testing yet rewarding time raising support over the past few weeks. Kaye and I have been experiencing the common highs and lows of support raising: identity struggles, questions about our future, answered prayers, etc. We just wanted to share quickly with you all how the Lord has been working. Beginning about two and half weeks ago, Kaye and I had a support goal to reach of $1889.14 a month. the Lord has already begun to provide for that need by brining in $400 dollars a month from our current supporters. So, our goal has already reduced to $1489.14 a month. We have also had a number of one time gifts come in to help us with our support deficit. This is a great answer to our(as a team) prayers already.
Along with this praise, Kaye and I wanted to share with you all some of the prayers God has given us for this support raising season:

1) That God would reveal Himself as the eternal source. Psalm 145:16, Acts 17:24-25, Psalm 50:9-12. This is not just with bringing in our support but also with being satisfied in Him, despite our support position.

2) That this season would teach us that this is not our home and we are strangers and aliens in this world. Luke 9:58, Phil. 3:7-8

3) That this season would solidify our vision for ministry and how we serve in it. Eph. 6:19-20

We would love to invite you all to pray along with us these things as we move through this season as a team.
