Dear Partners,

It has been just about one year (already) since we relocated to Mississippi.  We are so thankful for each of you and your generous support, prayer and words of encouragement on the way.  Each of the kids have had a successful year of school.  Samantha will be graduating in a few weeks and is looking forward to the start of new things.  Jake is at the Ballet Magnificat Summer Intensive for the month of July.  Many many thanks to everyone who has given towards his time there.  We so appreciate your love gifts and prayers for him.  Marcia and Abigail continue to work hard on Japanese summer homework and look forward to spending time in Ohio and Pa later on in August.

Did you ever go to VBS?  I remember VBS as a very special time in the summer to get to know the LORD more and to see God move in other kids lives.  We are looking forward to a special time in Titusville for a very special VBS!  We will be helping out Titusville Grace Fellowship with a great VBS program, August 5th to the 9th.  Join us in prayer for the transformation of children's lives and even for those who will meet the LORD for the first time ever!  We are excited about this time up in PA!  We hope to see lots of you while we are there!

From Michelle.... I am doing fine.  These days have been exciting as I have had more opportunities than usual to pray and prophecy for people.  I have been challenged to press in to the LORD more and as a result,  more doors have opened for prayer and giving an encouraging word.  God is SO good!!  Ephesians 2:10,  "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

MESSAGE

Have you been longing for a deeper more intimate walk with the Father?

Recently, we have enjoyed watching the old classic sit-com "Father knows best" on Netflix. Our loving Heavenly Father cares, loves, and knows exactly what is best for us. And, when we put our trust in Him, we may truly experience abundant love from Him.

My prayer for you today remains that you will experience the love of God in a fresh, greater, more heart-felt way than ever before. 

More specifically, God has been leading me to focus on several areas during this time.

• Honoring and Glorifying Him - No matter what the circumstances, God wants us to worship, praise, and celebrate what He has done for us at the cross. Praise changes the atmosphere!

• Declare His promises - You know, life and death are in the power of the tongue. When we speak forth His promises, God arises in our midst and brings breakthrough.

• Wisdom and Counsel - When we seek His wisdom, He reveals the "how to" of how to fulfill His calling on our lives. Also, the Bible says that in the multitude of counsellors there is victory in war. In the same way, we need to seek counsel from those God has placed in our lives.

• The Word - We constantly need to be washed by the "Word of God". Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. As we saturate ourselves with the Word, we grow in faith and see the enemy defeated.

May God refresh our hearts and renew our call in this season!
