Great News! After a very random turn of events (more like God is so good!) We have moved to a new house! Here's a quick story on how this all came about.

So just over two weeks ago we were at a goingaway party for a friend. While there I was overcome by this feeling in my stomach...the dreaded feeling of wanting what someone else has. In this case it was space. Space as in more space for our growing family. I knew this wasn't really a possibility so I dismissed it and let go of the desire.But, The VERY next day,

I happened to be walking down our street and saw a man outside of a house.He was taking photos of the house so I asked him what he was doing. He explained that he was the property manager and that he would be listing the house for rent the next day. He asked me if I wanted to take a look...I said no, knowing that we weren't looking for a new house. He said "just come take a look!" So, I did. I had a very quick look, said thank you and for some reason I asked him for his business card. I left the house, sent Aaron a text explaining about the house and carried on my morning.

Aaron texted back and said maybe we should go in later that night to have a closer look. (This is where I should say that I hadn't told him about my desire for more space) So, we went, we looked and after a whole night or praying and crunching numbers we felt to take the house! So, we saw it on a Wednesday and we started moving in on Friday. It all happened very fast and we couldn't be more garteful. Oh and the beautiful thing about this story is that this house is on the same street we were currently living on! Just 6 houses down and on the other side of the road.

The house is bigger than our previous home. This one has three bedrooms (our other house had 2) and two toliets! Thats awesome too. We have a big backyard which the kids are really happy about . The living room has a set of french style doors that open up onto the backyard which makes life with a toddler so much easier. She can come and go and I can still see what she's up to.

Thankfully I LOVE to keep an eye out for cheap or free furnoture so we have been able to furnish this bigger house really easily and for next to nothing. I have taken up a hobby of refinishing old furniture that I find on the side of the road or things that people are getting rid of for cheap. Their junk has become my pass time!

 I have included a bunch of photos. You can see the house is still old but has the most amazing orginal floor boards and the wood work is so stunning. I didn't take any photos of the ceilings but they're all really beautiful with the original plaster designs. Tall ceilings too whcih gives the house a bigger feeling.

It has been a lot of fun arranging furniture. Kamryn and Mikayla share a bedroom across the hall from us and Levi and Lauren share a room at the end of the hall, near the kitchen.

We said goodbye to 4 lovely years in our small cottage style home by having a time of thanksgiving, talking about all the wonderful things that took place in our small home. Things like Levi loosing his front teeth, Lauren being born and brough to that as her first home, we learned how to love each other while in small quarters! We loved, laughed, cried and celebrated.

Moving to this house was definitely a large leap of faith. This means we are no longer with YWAM accommodations. We used to pay the base our staff fees and that covered our housing and utilities. Since we have moved into a three bedroom home, we are no longer living in base accommodations. We are now paying for our own weekly rent and paying for our own utilities. When we prayed, we really felt like God said to go for it, to enjoy the house and trust that all things would be covered.

We are holding tight to what God has spoken and will TRY not to sweat when things get tight.

So now you have had the tour of our new home.
We are so grateful for the chace to branch out and trust God in a new and deeper way. As we have learned in the past; listen, trust and obey!

So, yes we are taking a giant step. Our kids are getting big and it was time. Please, would you prayerfully consider if there's any possibility of you joining us on this journey and joining our support team?

Also, at this current moment Aaron is leading a team of builders in Nepal! Please pray for him as they travel into the village to get started on their house build. He messaged me last night and said they have a big truck which they are loading will all the supplies they need to transport to the village....no hardware stores where they are! So prayers would be great for them as they get the show on the road, literally!

Thanks for reading our exciting update. I wake upeach morning baffled by God's goodness and double blink that this is our new home.

Much love, Robin, Aaron, Kamryn, Mikayla, Levi and Lauren

Well, Hello friends!

We realize it's been a few months since we last sent out an update so time for a quick burst of our lives over the last few months!

The last few months have been....well....a time of stretching for both Aaron and I. Stretching is a good thing but definitely uncomfortable at times. As we have both discovered, though, times of stretching brings us into greater depths of capacity. 

Back in June, I (Robin) had the wonderful privilege of teaching for a full week on the Homes Of Hope the Discipleship Training School. 

Though there were only 6 students and 2 staff, it was an honor to be asked to teach. The topic was relationships, something I feel I have done very well and yet have made so many mistakes. Teaching for the week was fun, challenging, terrifying, interesting, sometimes uncomfortable but also a great time of remembering how good God has been in restoring relationships in my life. We laughed, we cried, we journeyed together!

These guys are currently on the 3 month outreach phase of their DTS. They're in Fiji at the moment and will soon head off to Nepal where Aaron will meet up with them in a small village to do a Homes OF Hope house build. Aaron is looking to leave around August 14th with a few other guys from his ministry.

Homes of Hope is going through a time of growth as far as people are concerned. He has just had an Aussie guy join the ministry and a guy from Canada is waiting for his Visa. As well, several people in the process of praying about joining. If they all join he will have 13 people working with him! Exciting times for him and the ministry.

WINTERCAMP! Well this was a little surprise for both Aaron and I. YWAM Perth has  a youth ministry called Nexwave. They work with youth in the city as well as the teens on base. Every winter and Summer they run camps over the school holidays. The leader of the ministry wasn't able to lead the camp for week 1 so, very last minute, Aaron was asked to lead the camp. Then, the next day, I was asked to be the guest speaker at the camp for two days. This was fun! So, Aaron spent the week down south where, for the record, it was freezing cold! Yes, there was frost on the windscreen one morning. I commuted back and forth which was a lot of driving but it's beautiful country driving.

 I taught on the traps that we face as teenagers, peer pressure and how to gain back our identity in Christ. Aaron was overseeing everything including the 25 campers, the 30 camp staff, and was in charge of any decisions that needed to be made. He wasn't sure how he would do since this was a new area for him but he did a great job and left camp feeling full of hope for all the campers as they figure out their relationship with God. He may have stayed in bed for awhile the day after camp ended....

 We have felt very blessed over the last 12 months. We have lost a few supporters but we have also gained a lot of people who have been blessing us with one time donations here and there which have helped us through times that could have been tough. We have maintained good relationships with our church family back on Salt Spring and have also been getting to know new people at our church here in Perth. BCC (Bedford Community Church) is a wonderful place where we have felt so welcomed. Aaron has been given the chance to share a lot about his ministry as well as share the message on Sunday mornings occasionally. 

Kamryn and I have been invited to be guest speakers at an upcoming Lady's Breakfast! Sharing on the topic of Being Brave. We love that they invite us to be such a big part the the church even though our YWAM schedule can keep us very busy and we don't make it to Sunday services very often. 

As you can see, our kids are all getting very big but they're all doing very well. We still home school, we still have a lot of time together, we still don't see eye to eye all the time but we are loving the quality time we have. We realize we only have a few more years until Kamryn starts to make her own path in life. We value this time!

CANADA!!! We're really excited for a trip home in November! It's hard to believe it has already been two years. This trip is both for purpose and pleasure as we have to renew our Visa but we miss our friends and families terribly! We could renew our Visa in Australia but it makes sense for us to do it while we are home; Australia has a rule that you can apply onshore in Australia once for free. After that, you pay $700 per person, even dependents. This would mean an extra charge of $4,200! Just makes sense to do this while on Canadian soil.

We have seen a lot of generosity in regards to this upcoming trip/Visa Run. As some of you may recall, we had a terrible time making it home last time. Several issues stood in our way. This time we started fundraising very early and saw very cheap flights with a very good airline with the perfect flight path! So, we were able to purchase our return flights for under $8,000 for all 6 of us with the help of our lovely friends, family and supporters pitching in to send us on this journey. A big thank you to those of you have already been part of the process! We still have some finance to raise to cover the rest of the Visa, the health insurance and one or two of Aaron's trips overseas with Homes of Hope. Contact us if you would like to help towards any of these. We are also happy to send out more detailed breakdown of costs for anyone interested. 

Well, that about sums it up for now. Thanks for taking the time to read about what we're up to! We appreciate all of you who have supported us along the way whether prayerfully, financially or both.

If you are interested to know more details about why we are here in YWAM Perth, please ask! We will share. If you're interested to know more depth of our financial needs, please contact us and we can share details with you. 

Blessings!

Love Aaron, Robin, Kamryn, Mikayla, Levi and Lauren Little

     

Are we blessing or being blessed?...

This was the question that I asked myself as I was reflecting on my recent trip to Nepal with my daughter Kamryn. When I go on outreach to different nations, my goal is to bless others. With my Homes of Hope ministry, we do this by building homes. This we hope will show them that God sees them in their struggles, that He loves them. Which He does, immensely. But He loves me as well, and wants to bless me. Whether I deserve it or not. It blows me away how loved I felt as I reflected back on this recent trip to Nepal. I went in to bless, to show God's love, which I did. It went very well, the family that we built for had a practical demonstration of the love of God. However, I left Nepal, feeling spoiled with love and blessing myself. That's the God I serve, who's got more than enough love for all.

This is the picture of the Frontline Discipleship Training School that helped to build the home for the Nepali family. The family's home became unlivable
after the earthquake last year. Up till now they'd been living in a small shack/barn. Husband, wife and four children all shared the living space. They aren't Christians but they definitely felt the joy as we presented the house to them. The house was finished ahead of schedule and we build with a very tight budget. Unfortunately we didn't have enough money to pay for rendering of the walls, but the doors and windows will be added by the church who we worked alongside during the house build. This was the same village called Juina, that Homes of Hope built a house in August of last year. The team worked hard, had fun and felt blessed as well. We celebrated the completion by butchering a local pig that we bought. We feasted that night!

To make that day even more special we had three students from the school who wanted to be baptized in the nearby river. I've never had the honor of baptizing someone before, it was quite memorable. After we'd all prayed over those three, one person said if there's anyone else who'd like to be baptized, now's a great time! Kamryn (just turned 13) bravely raised her hand, followed by two more. I nearly fell over. It's something that Robin and I had been praying for, that Kamryn one day would make her own choice of faith. And here I was, in Nepal, getting the opportunity to baptize her. I get teary just thinking about it. It was so special, sad that Robin and the kids weren't there, but they saw the video.
This is what I mean though, I left Nepal, way closer to Kamryn, and so grateful for my time with her there. I went to bless and I left there, feeling so loved. I'll always remember the trip for so many reasons, but seeing Kamryn seem to grow up right before my eyes was something I'll never forget.

I love what I get to do, travel the nations and help others. As we do what we're called to do, helping those in need, our needs get met as well. How simple. If you guys ever wonder where your support money goes...well this is it. It's going a long ways and we're so grateful for all of you in our lives.

Lots of Love, 

The Littles, Aaron, Robin, Kamryn, Mikayla, Levi and Lauren

'Tis the season to be busy...

x
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Little's here in 40' C Perth, Australia! Hoping that you've all been keeping well and have had time to relax with family and/or friends during the season.

We've had a different kind of Christmas this year. It's been one with new challenges with ministries and roles on base, but also with the family being sick over Christmas and beyond. It all started with MJ getting sick, then Kamryn, then Lauren, then Levi, then Kamryn again, then Aaron (that's me!) I feel slightly better today but I also said that yesterday before I felt rotten again. What doesn't kill us only makes us strong?



Lauren was amazed when she awoke one morning to
a Christmas tree in her living room! It was adorable

Despite the sickness we persevered to still enjoy our time together at home. The temperatures at Christmas were unseasonably low which was a huge relief for us. We didn't make it to all of the base events but we did our best to celebrate with our friends here at YWAM Perth. We were blessed this year with lots of people giving toward gifts for our family. Our most memorable ones would be a family Xbox as well as 5 tickets to go see The Lion King live production. Some are more excited about this than others, but I'm sure it'll be amazing. We've got a babysitter for Lauren that night!

As most of you may know I was asked to takeover the leadership of a DTS here at YWAM Perth. Sven, who led our DTS, needed to step back due to family health. He and his wife and daughter are dear friends of ours and we said to each other one night (and God), "We'll do whatever we can to help them to get through this time." Within two days I was asked to takeover leading Sven's Frontline Discipleship Training School. They were half way through their lecture phase when I was introduced to the class as their new leader. I was very nervous, and I'm sure they were uncertain too. However, they came together as a group and pulled our family into their family. They just recently left for outreach into Nepal and Northern India, and really I'm quite proud of all of them. As I stepped in I knew they needed someone to provide consistency and encouragement. Through feedback I learned that I was the man for the job. The class was amazing and will do so well on outreach. I learned a lot about God and how he prepares us for challenges that we never would've thought we could do. I felt like I was drowning at times with the administration and schedule but most of the time I felt like I was thriving and ended up really enjoying myself.


Aaron's Frontline Discipleship Training School (DTS)

During the Frontline DTS outreach I'll be joining them with Kamryn for 18 days. We're going to build a home in Nepal with them and my ministry Homes of Hope. We're going back to the same village that Homes of Hope worked in August this year. I'm really looking forward to continuing to develop relationship with the villagers there, seeing my Nepali friends and doing outreach with Kamryn! It should be so fun and I look forward to seeing the school again for some hard work. If you didn't get a chance to see it here's a video of the last time Homes of Hope was in Nepal:

Aaron Speaking about the DTS during Commissioning Night

 Due to the running of the school and then Christmas time I haven't had time to begin fundraising for this trip to Nepal. I've bought tickets however, trusting that I'll see the money come in. It's about $1750 each for Kamryn and I. Kamryn however has been on it for about a month now and has bravely asked people that she felt promoted to ask for support. So far she's seen a great response and has seen $850 come in! What a missionary kid!

Exciting events coming up for us as a family in January/February of 2016 is:
Kamryn turns 13 while on summer camp. It's her first birthday away from us and it's a special one:(
We go for a 5 day family camp with other YWAM Perth families in Albany (south of Perth)
Aaron and Kamryn travel to Nepal January 24 - February 10
Lauren's 2nd birthday!!

Needs as a family for January - March 2016:
Remaining $ for Aaron and Kamryn's outreach to Nepal ($2650 still needed)
Car repair; new rotors needed immediately (about $400)
Car repair; needing a large service done at 300,000k (about $1500-2000)
New Laptop as ours is six years old, it's slow and has recently lost some keyboard function ($750)
We're flying home for Christmas in 2016 and feel to purchase those tickets soon! ($10,000)

Please, would you pray about joining us financially on any one of these needs? When there's a need, it seems there are always several at a time! You can give by contacting myself at aaronlittleonssi@gmail.com or Robin at litrobin@gmail.com. We can easily forward you bank details.

Thanks for reading yet another update, we hope you find them somewhat interesting!

Lots of love,
The Littles







Past, Present and Future

PAST: We had visitors! For nearly 4 weeks we had Aaron's parents come to stay with us. We laughed, played cards, relaxed, ate really well, went on little road trips and just enjoyed each others company. A week into their trip, Aaron and his Dad hopped a plane to East Timor for 5 days where Brian (Aaron's Dad) got a glimpse of Aaron's ministry, met the Homes Of Hope team and had some hands on time in the village setting up for the build.

Their time with us flew by but we got some much needed rest and relaxation. It's always so great to have family come and always so tough to have to say good bye.

PRESENT: We have some new, very sudden news regarding Aaron and his role at the base. Yesterday our friend who leads the Frontline Discipleship Training School (DTS) had to step down as the school leader to address some important family concerns. Yesterday morning Aaron was asked to pray about taking over the leadership of the school for the rest of the lecture phase, 6 more weeks. After a quick chat with me, some prayer and slight oh-my-goodness emotions, we both felt that this was right for Aaron to do. He took over the school today.

It's a whole new experience for Aaron. He has staffed a DTS in the past but leading the school has a whole different level of responsibility. He has one staff  and 19 students. We know this means a lot of change of our family schedule. We have to be flexible. He has to be readily available to the students and provide them with the best leadership he can. Both of us are excited for this next 6 week season. We will be stretched for sure. Aaron will learn a lot and though it will be tough at times, we feel blessed to be able to step in and help our friends during their time of need.

FUTURE: Just last week a new Discipleship Training School was birthed. Any guesses as to what

it's called? You got it, it's the Homes Of Hope DTS! Aaron was approached about the idea of it just a few weeks ago. He prayed, felt it was a great idea and got started thinking about who was going to lead it. Benny, who is currently part of the Homes Of  Hope ministry, will be leading the school starting in April 2016! Aaron will be fairly involved, mainly behind the scenes (we think) at this point. The photo to the right is of our base director and founder, Shirly Brownhill, praying for Benny after the Homes Of Hope DTS was announced to the YWAM Perth staff.

I know that's a lot of info to take in in one newsletter but a lot has happened in a very short time. We would really appreciate your prayers for the following:

PRAYER POINTS;
- Change brings challenge. Pray for unity within our family amongst the busyness.
-for Aaron to have a sound mind, free from fear or uncertainty as he leads the DTS
- for Aaron to have the ability to multi task as he leads both a DTS school and his Homes Of Hope ministry.
-and as for me, grace to be a good mum and wife as we go through a busy time!
-last but not least, we would love to see some more people sow into our work here and support us financially. We would be blessed by a few hundred dollars more a month to cover random costs that pop up.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for praying. We will keep walking this road and are so thankful to the life God has called us to. Much love,

Aaron, Robin, Kamryn, Mikayla, Levi and Lauren!

Father & Son

I find it interesting that a lot of updates from missionaries (including us) speak of an apology for not having written in a while; or so they should. Take that as you will;)

Thank you! To everyone who helps us out while we're in missions. Definitely loving life!

I'm back from Nepal as most of you already know. We had an amazing time there! My Homes of Hope ministry (five of us) went to Nepal to build a home. We met two schools from YWAM Perth there and worked with them to build a home for a widow. Her name was Buti and she lost her home during the earthquake. The finished result was simple and strong. We met her need.

The house eventually got a door on and windows in. It was a challenging build with small piece of land, many people to organize (25) and the travel to get there was two hours. But we really felt God covering us in all of the details. We showed up, were willing and we worked hard. Success

Next for Homes of Hope is we go to East Timor again in October. We meet another YWAM Perth school there and continue work in the village called Bahareduk. Here's the video of our last build: https://vimeo.com/131634723

I was really looking forward to passing on leadership of this trip to Andrew, and I still am. The idea was that I wouldn't be going on this trip. I've traveled to Nepal 3 times, East Timor 2 times and Canada once in the past year and was looking forward to a break.

But I'm going on this one too...because my Dad is coming with me!!! We're only going for a few days but he's preparing to bring a team next year from Salt Spring. My Mom and Dad are visiting us here in Perth in October. This is such great opportunity in so many ways. Mom will stay back with Robin and the kids, and Dad will help me set up this house build. He'll also scout it out for himself and his future team. I never thought I'd be doing missions with my Dad, we're  both stoked.

The kids are really excited about the visit from Grandma and Grandpa. However, it's possible that the Grandparents are even more excited. They're coming for four weeks, so we can have some time in Perth at our home and we'll spend some time down south in Busselton at a resort. The kids also have some school holidays, so no school work to worry about. Hopefully the weather will be decent as we're in spring here in Australia.

We have  few things/outreaches to be praying about that are coming up next year which is exciting, will stretch us even further and because they seem almost impossible they must be from God! We will keep you all posted about that as soon as we know more details.

Thanks for reading and please keep praying for us!

Love Aaron, Robin, Kamryn, Mikayla, Levi and Lauren

Normal Life?

Time for honesty.
People who aren't in missions have an idea of what full time missions looks like. Their thoughts and ideas are often way off and not quite accurate. Are we following God's plan? Yes. Is it glamourous? No.

You see, we have both gained and lost monthly supporters because of what our life in missions is actually like. We are based in a westen nation. It's not third world. It has running water. We have enrolled our kids in activities outside of YWAM. Sometimes we do 'normal' things like go on dates and enjoy dinner out as a family. The hard part about this is that some people think that because we live by faith, we shouldn't enjoy such things. Maybe this isn't your view but we can tell you from experience, it is the view of some. For some, we haven't gone on enough overseas missions trips to continue having their monthly financial support. For some, they want us to have the chance to do 'normal' family events and they enjoy giving us monthly support so we are able to take our kids out for dinner, or a movie or enjoy a day of fun. It's a fine line and we never really know if we are doing it right or wrong.

What we do know is that we are doing exactly what God wants, and thats fine with us. Because our finances come from some of you, from old DTS friends, from our home church and the new church we have started attendinge, from family and from good friends. Hey, we want to be doing it right! We want to be giving you a realisitc idea of what we are up to. When we need prayer, when we are doing well, when we have needs, when we are planning an outreach overseas and we even want to communicate when we have been blessed with finance to have a family outing. We want you guys to be the first to know.

So, all that said, we would like to share with you what we have been up to recently. As we mentioned in our last post, we were planning on going south of Perth to Bussleton for a little family weekend away before Aaron hopped on a plane for the 7th time in 10 months. It was an AMAZING time that we needed very much. We had lots of fun taking the kids to the beach, playing tennis and mini golf and watching movies in our holiday house.

After a lot of fundraising, we have been able to enroll Mikayla in Scouts! She absoluelty loves it. We love that she is making new friends and learning new skills. Because the kids are homeschooled they do miss out on doing some social things so this is exactly what we felt she needed.

Recently I was able to leave the other kids with Aaron and take Mikayla way with her "pack" of about 24 other Scouts. We went on a camping trip in the sticks where she learnt knot tying, how to set a course and use a compass, sang countless camfire songs and so on. All the things I invisioned a scouts camping trip to be! Her and I really enjoyed having some time together.

 We're really enjpying watching Levi come out of his shell as he learns how to play AFL (Aussie Rules Football). It gives him some rough and tumble time with boys his age. He has a great understanding of the game and has a great kick on him! He plays well, listens to the coach and is improving a lot.

We have tried to get kamryn onto a soccer team but we were too late for registration. She has been playing soccer with base kids on wednesday nights where she has the chance to learn new skills, play in a team setting and run those long legs fo hers! She's at the age where she really needs to be engaged in activites so we are trying to offer her lots of things to do. She raised enough money to send herself to Wintercamp in a few weeks which is a week of fun, God, wisdom and teaching for teens. She'll be with about 50 other teens and she's VERY excited. Our prayer is that she goes deeper in her faith and starts to learn for herself what she wants that to look like.

This is the church we have visited a few times. Last year we felt that it was time for us to find a church to attend. Not that we don't get what we need from YWAM but more so that we can make friends in the community and branch out a bit. We have been received very well from the Bedford Community Church. They have a youth group that Kamryn wants to check out.

When we haven't been for a while, they call us and make sure everything is ok. I was so blessed when they called me while Aaron was away to offer their help in any way I needed, whether it was someone to grocery shop or offer babysitting if I needed. It was so kind! It's been great to connect with people there and we look forward to what God has in store for us and how relationships will form.

We hope that our transparemcy and honesty is refreshing to you and doesn't offend. We knew going into this life that we wouldn't have any control over our finances. It's scary and sometimes we forget that God is in control and knows what's happening before it happens. It's been 3 years of learning, growth, adjusting and massive stretching! We have made mistakes, we know, but we have also received so much grace and for that we are so thankful! We never want any of you to feel like we take for garnted the finance you give, or that we don't feel your prayers. We LOVE it when you guys respond to our updates and we highly encourage you to ask questions if you ever feel like we aren't bgeing good stewards of the finance we receive.

As for upcoming events? For the next 3 days, our base is part of a confrence called GoFest. It's featuring guest speakers talking about the importance of missions, GOing into the nations and equipping with tools to do so. The founder of YWAM, Loren Cunningham, is here! This is very exciting and might be our very last opportunity to hear him speak. He is 80 years old and lives in Kona and is still part of that base.

Near the end of July, Aaron is off to Nepal with his team. There they are doing a house build, their first one in that nation. They have two teams who will be helping on this build.

The kids and I are long overdue to go along on an outreach so we will pray into it and see when we are to go along! It's a lot of work taking the whole family and since having Lauren, we haven't felt the ability to go. Now that she is getting older, it's looking like we will start trying to go along with Aaron more often.

PRAYER POINTS

Robin has had to carry a lot of the household responsibilities while Aaron is away. It is often challenging and slightly stressful having the 4 kids without help for usually 3 weeks at a time. Pray for her that God would continue to give her grace to carry the load and be a good Mom to the kids in the midst of it!

Aaron's ministry has grown from 3 to 5! He now has 4 staff members in his mnistry which is an answer to prayer. One of those is a woman which is another answer to prayer. Aaron could use prayer that he is a good leader, that he can juggle the task of running a ministry yet maintain his roles at home as seemlessly as possible.

Needs. We have random needs. We need a dryer. Yes, we live in a hot climate but winters are cold and wet. This is need is about $250. We have a major car service to do as well, it's about $1500. With Lauren being sick, and most of having to visit the doctors, we're out about another $500 with medication included.

And, as usual, we always need prayer for our finances. We know this goes without saying, but we really do need to raise more monthly support. Aaron has been traveling every 6-8 weeks since we got back to Perth last October. Most trips will be about $2000 Aussie dollars. Our prayer is that we can raise a team of people who would support Aaron's trips into Nepal and East Timor.

THANK YOU to each and every one of you for reading our updates. They may be a bit lengthy and maybe they cover things you have already heard but it means a lot to us to keep you all informed and connected with us. One of the hardest parts of being called into over seas missions is being away from home. We miss all of you very much and each of you play a huge roll, as our support team, that carries us through. You're all so dear to us!

Blessing and much love,

Aaron, Robin, Kamryn, Mikayla, Levi and Lauren Little
