Traveling today...
I continue to be amazed with the improvement of my vision. I have thought a lot of our Lord who gave sight to the blind. What a gift!
Even though we have a few more days of June left, for me, I feel like I am in July already! Mainly because I am leaving today for Costa Rica and then Guatamala for a training conference and won't be back until July 1. Let me share with you what is happening in July so you can be praying for a very full and exciting month...
July 3: Meeting with the community in Perdanales regarding the digging of a well- will be an important meeting and we will be painting our new church!
July 6-12 Our annual mission meeting with the Caribbean missionaries will be held in Puerta Plata. We have just over 100 folks who will be attending and it promises to be an inspiring week as well as informative.
July 12-19 Cool Spring youth group will be working here in Santiago. They are helping to build a basketball court at one of our Santiago church plants (Palmar Arriba), will be leading VBS in 4 different communities using a Walk Through the Bible motif, will be doing sports evangelism, construction and helping to install one if not two water purification systems. Oh, and they are helping me troubleshoot some "issues" with our water purification trailers! It will be an eventful week!
July 19-26 St. Giles youth group will be working in Santo Domingo with Don Gregorio and Pastor Melvin. We are excited about encouraging them and working with their youth group. This past year they have been able to reach out to the youth and have 30 youth participating together. We will be doing VBS, construction, prayerwalking and sports evangelism in three different locations. We are also working with them to help facilitate the purchase of their first lot/building. Pastor Melvin's wife is scheduled for a cesarian tomorrow and they are eagerly awaiting the arrival of their third child! A girl!
July 31: I fly to Boston to begin my Stateside assignment! There is a lot to be done to get my house and "stuff" in order before leaving for 6 months! But come what may (or not) I will be boarding AA flight #894 at 7:30am!
I know I am going to get to see many of you- I will be in Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, New England and who knows where else. If we haven't already made plans, please get in touch- I would love to visit while I am back. And thanks for keeping all these ministries in your prayers!
