Romania or Bust!

Dear Friends and Family, 
We have one huge praise report; we are currently in Romania visiting Tecla's family.  We have been praying for the Lord's provision for all of us to visit. About a month ago we started to just settle for the fact that Tecla was going to go by herself, due to a lack of funds.  All of a sudden the Lord provided enough money for our plane tickets out here.  It is a true blessing and we pray that The Lord will bless those who blessed us, so very much!

These are the juicy facts we promised to reveal on Facebook: Jake purchased Teclas ticket on a Friday with Malaysian Air, traveling through Kuala Lumpur (Yes the same airline that has recently had 2 airlines crash/ shot down)  Monday, Jake was going to fix the tickets so Tecla would fly with a different airline.  By Sunday night we were gifted almost the remaining sum of money needed for our tickets. That meant Jake  and Jade could go with Tecla.  So before Jake could call on Monday to fix the tickets he got a call from the travel agents saying that the tickets he tried to purchase through Malaysian Air did not go through and he would have to repurchase some, so it worked to our benefit (Romans 8:28)!  Then after hassling with different online web sites to purchase the tickets we went through a travel agent in New Zealand and have been blessed with amazing travel arrangements.

Now we are very sorry that this is the first time some of you are hearing we are in Romania, the reasoning was to surprise Tecla's family.  They knew Tecla was going, but they were unaware that Jake and Jade were coming as well.  We arrived on July 9 and will be here until Aug. 12.  It has been about 3 weeks  and God has already been so good to us!  Not just in providing the money for our tickets, but also arrangements for us to stay and transportation.  The trip is not over and yet it has been packed with amazing blessing after amazing blessing.

The main reason for us coming was that Jean, Tecla's brother is getting married, as well as none of Teclas family have met Jade.  So it has been good for them to see and enjoy Jade.

             All to say that it is through Him that all things are possible; it is through Him that we live, move (3 suitcases, one family, 3 hour car ride, 3 planes, 33 hours, another crazy car  ride in Bucharest, 3 beds, and big dreams) and have our being!!! 

Also this is a little update on other things that have happened since we last wrote.  The bible college is on break.  Last semester was great and we are looking forward to the next, which begins at the end of August.  Jake's Mum visited for two weeks during the month of May.  It was a blessing to have her around to visit.  We had a good, fat (almost 10lbs) addition to the Wilmoth family, a baby boy. Mandy Jake’s sister gave birth to Magnum Wade Wilmoth earlier this month.  We ask you to keep him in prayers as he’s had some issues with his breathing.  

The next semester is approaching quickly.  We are excited to have two families come and join CCBI here in New Zealand. Please keep them in prayers as they will move across continents with kids, bags and all that traveling fun stuff. Tecla will be overseeing food and m199 again.  Jake will be teaching a bit more.  He will be teaching the book of Acts, and the books of Galatians and Ephesians for another class. We are looking forward expecting to  see great things following God into the adventures of the upcoming semester. 


Well that is all for now. Next time we write we will let you know of the rest of the great things God will do as we are in Romania.
Thank you for your prayer and support.

Love Jake, Tecla and Jade
