Europe is Expensive!


Hi Friends,

Kim and I are constantly reminded of how expensive Europe really is! The weakness of the American Dollar has given us a new appreciation for missionaries who have had to adjust to this decline over the past several years. We are faced with budget realities of our own as we move towards acquiring a new apartment. Please pray that God would continue to meet our needs as we continue to serve Him in Ireland. Dublin is really expensive and since we do not have a car we need to rent property that is in walking distance to a good railway system (in our case the "Luas"). Properties strategically located near the railways of Ireland tend to be the most expensive. We are convinced however, that God is greater than money. He is faithful and holds the keys to life and death. As our view of God expands we find comfort and rest in His person and promises and leave these details to Him. 3 weeks into this incredible journey and we are already being stretched and deepened in our faith. We are going to learn so much this year and our prayer is that we would become more and more like Jesus Christ to the glory of God the Father.

Thanks for your prayers to that end!

The Baligians
