Just asking for prayer

Going to be brutally honest. Zac and I need your prayers. We need to see some breakthrough with our finances soon. We are feeling very discouraged today, and trying to hear God and get direction on what we are to do. Over the past few years, we have been barely staying afloat financially, and have accrued some debt, both to the YWAM base here in Montana and some credit card debt. We do not feel this is due to being irresponsible with our money, but because there are costs in life and 2 growing boys go through a lot of clothes and shoes and food, and $700-$800 a month just doesn't cover that. We would just love your prayers right now as we seek God on what the next steps need to be.
We are discouraged, but far from giving up. We know that God has called us here and has a plan that is worth fighting for. The students that come in and are transformed by who Jesus is, are worth us fighting for. Seeing the Kingdom of God come in the lives of those around us is worth fighting for.
When we ask God if it is time for us to leave YWAM Montana we feel strongly that he is saying "not yet." We know that he has a purpose in us staying and feel that we are to pioneer new ministries here in the near future. Our passion is to help enable people to fall more in love with Jesus, let that transform their lives, and release them to the world to do the same.
Please be praying for hope and encouragement over the next few weeks as we seek God, and see what he says. I know this---He is Faithful. Always, He is faithful! He is walking us through this process of trusting him, and I know that he WILL come through, I just don't know HOW he is choosing to do so...but I know that in the end it will be the best way possible. God does not work the logical way that we think He should...he is far above that. And I love who he is.
Thank you guys SO much! I can't say it enough...and thank you just doesn't seem like enough. Thank you for allowing us to be vulnerable with you, thank you for your prayers, and thank you for believing in the call that God has placed on our lives. We love you guys....more than we can express. Thank you.
