Challenges of life

We have been looking at the map of unreached people groups and we think we have narrowed our search to three countries we (Kay and I) are going to pray about and see if we get a direction from God.  Here is the list in no specific order Mongolia, Nepal and Finland all three are UPG's.  It's scary to think that God is actually telling us that we need to go witness to the people in one of these countries.  I figured out why these are UPG's plane fair for two is $5,000 and that just gets us to the airport. The key here is if it is something God is sending us on then the finances will be provided, we are waiting on God's directions. I have learned from Brother Gary Frey that God will provide in his time not mine  I would love to be able to go tomorrow but that will come in time.
Kay's friend is serving in western heights community in Knoxville we are going to see what kind of help they need and go serve there some.  We are also going to look into doing some servant evangelism with the Appalachian regional ministry in the near future.  I'll keep everyone posted with the times and results.
On a personal note, we desire your prayers for my dad and our family the next few weeks.  He had a colonoscopy and they found a spot of cancer.  He is going to see a surgeon January 17th.  Please pray that they can remove all of it and be cancer free after the surgery.  My dad has been the steady rock of our family and we love him and not really ready to face anything like this.  Good news if there is any, the doctor told them it was caught very early and should be able to be treated. 
Our family has set three goals for this year and we are doing good even though it's only Jan. 5th.  1. Read the bible through 2. Do as many mission things as possible even small things 3. Pay as much debt off as possible this even means not getting pizza for dinner even when we want it bad. 
Please pray for us as we continue in our missions journey and especially for our family the next few weeks.

Telling the untold,
Doyle, Kay & Abby
