Prayer Request

Perhaps I should say from the beginning this will be a bit long for a simple prayer request. Yet I feel it is needed in order to make it understandable to all concerned.
My request begins almost 3 years ago, with a set visionary dreams that came to me in 3 parts each on a different but succeeding nights. At the time I was living in Everett WA. My first wife went home to the Lord in Nov of 2008. As time passed and the grieving let off, I began to feel a little empty without my life partner (29 yrs).
The dreams started on a Monday night and went on through Wed. In the first dream I was driving north and heading to Lansing MI but with a new wife and she was exceedingly happy. After I woke up I just wondered what this was all about? I haven't been thinking of getting Married again and “Why Lansing MI? Since I lived in WA State it would be a little hard to drive North to Lansing. The next night I dreamed my new Wife and I were now driving west to Grand Haven MI. Now a little insight started to come to me “Grand Haven is the home of the Coast Guard Festival, and since I am retired Coast Guard that began to make sense to me.” But I still had no idea of why Lansing? The third night the dream took us to Petoskey MI This is where my Grandfather grew up. He is full-blooded Chippewa. During the dream I began to feel God wanted me to do something here. That Thursday at the Men’s bible study I related to the other men and Pastor the dreams, so we prayed about it. Each day I continued to pray and ask God what he wanted. I really didn't understand the meaning until a couple of months later when at a Sunday Evening service a friend and missionary spoke on the calling to the mission field. I then understood and began to feel God was moving me in that direction. With much prayer I felt God calling me to be a witness to Americas first peoples. Then that summer when talking with my Twin brother he mentioned that the Lansing area is where the Chippewa Nation holds their annual POW WOWS. But to have the dream be fulfilled I knew that I would be remarried and no longer living in WA. I would be living somewhere in the East.
Within a year God began bringing my dreams to fruition. Within a year I met a wonderful woman online at the CBN Prayer center living in Ohio I can't really explain it but we felt the hand of God moving us together and I soon asked her to be my wife when she gave the positive answer I packed up and moved to Bowling Green Ohio we were married on Aug 31 of 2012.
Now two parts of the dream is fulfilled and the third is yet to come.
I only mentioned the dream to Karen once before we were married. We both feel we are being led to the mission field, since I am retired and living on a fixed income and we have no assets we wonder how this is going to happen. As the time goes by we share the idea of purchasing a Motor Home so we may have a place to live while traveling the reservations. Our Prayer request is God provide the funding to make the purchase, we are trusting God to provide the funds to not only purchase a motor home but to move to a more central location so we wouldn't be traveling long distances to the various reservations. our request is for (over $500,000).

In the past few months we began sharing the same dream. I only mentioned the dream to Karen once before we were married. We both feel we are being led to the mission field, Since I am retired and living on a fixed income and we have no assets we wonder how this is going to happen. As the time goes by we share the idea of purchasing a Motor Home so we may have a place to live while traveling the reservations. Our Prayer request is God provide the funding to make the purchase, we are believing God to provide over $350,000. That is our prayer request!

I was driving north and heading to Lansing MI but with a new wife and she was exceedingly happy. After I woke up I just wondered what this was all about?

Now two parts of the dream is fulfilled and the third is yet to come about. I also only mentioned the dream to Karen once before we were married.
In the past few months we began sharing the same dream. We are being led to the mission field not as missionaries but as witnesses to the Native American peoples. Now to say we really need to rely on the Lord is an understatement because neither of us have funds to do this. We are looking at purchasing a new Motor Home so we may have a place to live while traveling the reservations. Our Prayer request is God provide the funding to make the purchase, we are believing God to provide over $350,000. That is our prayer request!
