Hi! Thank you for praying for us and for Samantha. Her surgery is all done. Now she is in that recovery process!! Also, I was just told that the HOUSE we had applied to rent in MS came through. PTL! I do not need to go back to MS until the 18th of August. So, now, we are all staying in OH for a few more days for Samantha`s sake. And, we are going to Titusville, PA soon. I thank God for you and your friendship and partnership with us. PTL!!
REIGN OF GRACE (AIM)
Now begins the process of setting up Reign of Grace Ministries (AIM). Our vision remains to reach out to Japan and Asia; while getting the needs of our family met in MS. Jake did very well this summer at the Ballet Magnificat summer intensive. Samantha has already applied for an after-school job in MS. Marcie is looking forward to studying again and would like to find a violin teacher soon. Abbie has so many interests, she just keeps going and flowing. We do need continued prayer for the kids as we transition again.
Thank you for praying and partnering with us as we begin this new adventure on the way to Japan and Asia!!
LIFT UP YOUR EYES
I would like to encourage you to take a few minutes to read and worship with Psalms 123. Here is what it says, "I lift up my eyes to you, to you whose throne is in heaven....so our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy.
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, for we have endured..."
As you read and worship through this passage, allow the Holy Spirit to give you a new perspective on you, your family, and the situation you may be facing at this time. Truly, He is our help and He will see you through!! PTL!
JAPAN UPDATE - TANABATA
Recently, Japan celebrated Tanabata. Tanabata is a Japanese star festival. People write wishes on small pieces of paper and hang them on large colorful streamers. The most famous Tanabata festival is held in Miyagi-Ken, Sendai-city, Japan where we helped establish a church and where Jeremy and Kumiko Jenkins reside.
This year, many Japanese people hung wishes for those who suffered during the recent earthquake and tsunami. And, during the festival, Kumiko (and others) had opportunity to share the message of "life" and hope on stage at a special event.
Please pray for Jeremy and Kumiko, the church, and the work and ministry taking place there. As the seeds of the gospel continue to go into the soil, we can be in expectation of a great harvest of souls for His Kingdom in this precious nation of Japan. Thank you!
CAMBODIA
The medical mission trip is scheduled for October 2011. We continue to seek the Lord about participating in this opportunity.
