Greetings to our faithful friends and partners in ministry,
In July, we were able to celebrate Audrey's birthday (the big 30) with friends and family. The time that we have to reconnect with loved ones is often short but we are grateful for those moments. After a nice break for Audrey's birthday our schedule quickly picked up momentum as we spent three weeks in Kansas and a weekend in Ohio sharing with partners. During this time we also met with several potential partners, please pray for these connections to build.
We were on the road traveling to Virginia as August began. After spending a few days sharing at the Virginia Family Camp, Audrey and I parted ways as I flew to the Pacific Northwest for three weeks. At this point in the pregnancy (32 weeks) Audrey could no longer fly nor drive further then four hours from her doctor. I spent my time in Oregon and Washington visiting current and potential partners. The distance and time apart definitely made our hearts grow fonder.
Our schedule through September has allowed us to add many more miles to our odometer as we continue to visit churches.
Thank you to those who have been amazing hosts during this home assignment, we have been humbled by your generosity, hospitality, and faithfulness. We value your prayers as October approaches and as we wait for the arrival of our first baby in the next 7-10 days. Words cannot begin to describe how we feel about the arrival of our Lola Mae due the first week in October. We look forward to introducing her to you.
Prayers
Please pray for continued health during
pregnancy. That Lola Mae will should make
her debut sometime in the first week of
October. Pray for Birkenhead Church of God,
England, as they continue to to take
steps to reach their community. We are proud of our regional team as
they host various teams from the US.
Pray for increasing partnership
throughout the region. Pray for the health of Bob Rainford,
longtime youth worker at Birkenhead
Church of God.
