Praise the Lord!

We have much to be thankful for and just wanted you to rejoice with us for the Lord’s awesome provision over the last week! After sending out our last update we got an amazing response from those of you who had possibilities of vehicles & houses. We were offered 3 houses in the Toledo area and have settled on a house close to our church & parents, with a dishwasher J and fully furnished being given to us rent free! We are so thankful and stand amazed at God’s goodness to us. He truly cares about every detail of our lives! We were also given a van to use while we’re home and are down to only needing approximately $1500 for the remainder of our trip expenses. Don’t we serve an awesome God?! We pray this will be a testimony to those of you who find yourselves in need, that God answers the prayers of His children and cares about even the little things we desire.

Thanks for giving & praying.

Your Hands raised in praise & Feet looking forward to American soil,
Jason, Nisae, Kadynn, Judah & Eden

We Need You!

Our time for home assignment is rapidly approaching, with only a little time left until we begin our journey home for our arrival in the States on November 10th. We still have some urgent needs we’d like to bring to your attention.

Our parents and home church have been looking for a house for us to stay in during our time home (Nov 09- Sep10) in the Toledo, Ohio area where Jason’s parents and our home church are located. However, they have yet to find an affordable place for us since our finances are very limited. We still would like to settle in the Toledo area for our time home, but are open to staying somewhere in the mid-Michigan area as well if something opens up, since we also have family and supporting churches there. What we’re asking from you is that you please join us in praying and searching for a house. If you know of any landlords who would be willing to rent to us, or anyone selling a house who would be willing to temporarily take it off the market to rent to us – please let us know! We are confident that the Lord will provide the perfect house in the perfect location for our family.

We are also still in need of a vehicle (preferably a van) to drive for the 10 months we’ll be home. We will need a good, reliable vehicle for visiting our supporting churches, family and friends. If you know of anything that’s available, please e-mail us.

Finally, we still need approximately $3500 to cover the remainder of our traveling expenses for getting home. If the Lord is leading you to give, there are several ways you can do so:

You can mail a check to New Tribes Mission, 1000 E. First St, Sanford FL 32771, payable to NTM with a note for Jason & Nisae Williamson. Or you can give online at www.ntm.org/give/2023.

Looking at all of these needs can be overwhelming, but we believe in a God who is bigger than money, bigger than cars, bigger than houses, and who delights in using all of His body parts (not just His hands and feet) working together to meet different needs. Thanks for being sensitive to the Lord in how he may use you!

Also, please praise the Lord with us that we have had some sunny days and that our co-workers made it safely back to the tribe! We, along with the Tobo believers are enjoying their fellowship and our kids are enjoying their much missed friends.

Your Hands & Feet working together with the rest of the body,
Jason, Nisae, Kadynn, Judah & Eden

Rain Rain Go Away!

It’s been 3 weeks of steady rain here in Tobo (like 22 inches!), with only a handful of opportunities to see the sun and we’re ready for the rain to go away! Rain like this has an effect on many things here in the tribe. Since we rely on the sun for power through our solar panels, we’ve had minimal power which ups our generator usage and in turn ups the cost of living in here. Rain affects our clothes drying capabilities J. Rain also affects the people here. We just had our first believer’s meeting in 3 weeks on Sunday since the rain and mud has discouraged the believers from meeting. And finally, rain affects our sanity because our kids are stuck here in the house for days on end with no good outlet to their endless supply of energy!

We’re praying and hoping however, that the rain (and clouds) will not affect this weekend when we are supposed to get the Knapps, our co-workers, back from their time of furlough in the States. Please pray that their flights will make it in! We are also prayerfully not allowing the rain to affect our attitudes and resolve to live here in the tribe during these hard times with no power, no outdoor play time, no fellowship, and no evidence of growth in the believers here. We are so thankful that God uses these times to grow us and we know He has us here for a reason although the rain and clouds blur our vision from time to time.

Thanks for your prayers for our family and for the Tobo church, keep them coming!

Your Hands & Feet determined to stay dry and to keep to that plow,
Jason, Nisae, Kadynn, Judah & Eden

(Heading back to Ohio for Home Assignment on November 10th -see you in 3 months!)
