Dear Friends!
We want to say thank you to all of you for praying for us in these past weeks. Thank you for the many emails, cards and phone calls letting us know that you cared for us. God has given us strength as we had the funeral on Feb.24th and then have taken care of dad's apartment. We miss him so much but sense a deep peace that he could go. Richard and I have been saying that part of our MINA has been celebrating dad's life, his 90th birthday and his death. We had planned for the one but not the other. Death is so final and yet we have the hope of seeing each other again! This is the resurrection power that we heard about now again this Easter Season.
Thank you for your prayers for our travels. We have travelled safely and are so glad the storms and the cold weather is coming to an end.
You can pray for us as we leave for a week of Country Team Leaders meetings in Abbotsford, BC this Thursday morning. Pray that we as missionaries and staff might sense the Holy Spirit's leading in all the planning: that our times of fellowship together might give us new joy and perspective as we head back to our fields of work.
-April 6th we will be at the West Portal Missional Sunday. Praise God with us for the several families who are preparing to leave for different countries in the next months.
-April 13th we will spend the day with the church in Carrot River.
-April 19th to the 21st we will spend time with the Parliament Community Church family in Regina.
-April 24th to the 28th we hope to drive up to Edmonton to say goodbyes to our son Nathan there. Daniel and Alisa will also be there with us.
-May 4th we will be in West Portal for our last Sunday.
-May 6th we fly out of Saskatoon for Salzburg, Austria.
Thank you for your financial support. We have been humbled and blessed to see how God is bringing in the last of our support. We still have about $8000 (annually) of pledged support to raise. Thank you for joining our team.
Some of you might have been confused with my (Hazel's) email address. Even though I am mailing my emails from Google Mail, my address
hazelfunk@aon.at still remains the same. Richard's the_funks@aon.at also remains. No changes even though you may see that we are mailing from different addresses.
God bless you and keep you.
The Funks, Richard and Hazel
