The work on Doulos is moving forward, and we are beginning to look beyond the boatyard. In November, we plan to launch and begin heading south toward the Caribbean on mission. ⛵


But what happens between now and then?


While Doulos is being prepared for the upcoming season, we know ministry doesn't pause until we are back on the water. We want to continue loving, serving, encouraging, and sharing wherever God leads us.


We have several months in front of us and are praying about how God might want to use that time.


One desire that has been growing in our hearts is to head west...returning to some of the areas God led us to during our years of traveling in the camper, reconnecting with people who mean so much to us and perhaps being introduced to new friends and ministry opportunities through YOU.


More than simply making a plan and going for it, we want to seek God about each step and trust Him to give purpose to whatever comes next.

Will you join us in praying and asking God how He might use these next few months?


Will you ask Him how He may use YOU to help open doors, make connections, or be part of what comes next?


So, this newsletter is a little different...and maybe a little longer than usual, but we hope you'll stay with us to the end.

Proverbs 16:9

The Timeline: Points of Prayer

By Mid-August

Finish major projects & place Doulos in storage


By End of August

Prepare our camper to be ready to sell


September & October

LORD, Where do you want us?


Early November

Finish the final coat of paint, launch Doulos, and begin ministry on the water as we head south toward the Caribbean for the "season"

Why not put Doulos back in the water right away?

The short answer: that's still a possibility.


But, we have a camper sitting in storage that we feel responsible to prepare to sell and doing that would mean temporarily stepping away from the boat.


And, of course, it is still hurricane season.

The Camper: Can YOU Help Us Sell It?

The camper has been an incredible tool God has allowed us to use for many years and we would love to see it continue serving someone else rather than sit idle.

If you know someone who may be looking for a camper, please let us know.


And who knows? Maybe God has someone out west who wants to buy it, and we simply deliver it to them 😉

Gap Months: Could You Pray and Help Connect the Dots?

✅ Pray for us...


Please pray that God would make His direction clear for September and October. Should we travel west? Stay here? Put Doulos back in the water? Is there something else He has prepared that we haven't seen yet?


✅ Help us explore where God may open doors...


Do you know of a church, small group, ministry, or group of believers who might be encouraged by our story?


We would love the opportunity to share what God has done in our lives, what He has taught us through this journey, and what He is now doing through ministry on the water.


If you know of a place where our story might encourage others, would you be the dot that connects us?

Maybe the next door God opens will lead us right to you!

Thank you for praying with us and for being willing to ask God how He might use you in what comes next. We don't know exactly what the next few months will hold, but we know the One who does.


We can't wait to see what He has prepared.

Blessings,

Tim, Kim, & girls

P.S. Would you ask around? Or forward this email to someone you know? We would love to connect with people who might be encouraged by hearing what God has done in our lives and through this journey. You never know what He might do through a simple conversation!


P.P.S. And don't forget...we're also preparing our CAMPER FOR SALE! Know someone who may be looking for one? Send them our way. Maybe we can deliver it to them! 😉
