Connection!

Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,


Thank you for standing with us! It's been a while since my last blog and I'm so glad to have this opportunity to share with you the good things God is doing.


Antioch International Ministries (AIM)


For your information, we are making some changes. While continuing to relate and be ordained as ministers with AIM, at our request, they will no longer handle our ministry finances. We are in the process of creating a new system for giving. In the meantime, any gifts  given may be done so to us directly. There will be no tax deduction available and we will not be able to give out tax receipts during this time. However, we will keep you posted on how things develop in the days ahead.


Asian "Alpha" Group


If you follow us on FB, we have posted pictures of our Asian "Alpha" group. God's mighty presence continues to be sensed as we meet and share the basics of what it means to be a Christian. We enjoy meeting together and ask for your prayer as we meet.  We have had five Asian nations represented in our living room at some of our meetings!  It is awesome!  Your giving makes this possible! Thank you!


Wedding Bells


Yes, our oldest daughter Samantha will be getting married on Saturday, August 13th, here in Mississippi. Her fiancé, Wesley Hamlin, loves God and I know they will be so blessed. Please pray for them as they prepare for this very special day and begin their new life together.


Ballet Magnificat (Alpha ministry team)


Micah (Jacob) has been invited to join one of the two professional ballet companies at Ballet Magnificat. We are having a big party to celebrate the end of his Trainee Program time.  We are so proud of him. We would like to ask for your prayers as he transitions to this new ministry. 


Nursing Program


Marcia will finish her first year of university in preparation to becoming a nurse. We are so grateful to God for her good effort this past year. Please  pray for her as she walks in God's direction for her life.


Abigail


She is doing great! She turned sweet sixteen in March. She looks to take her driver's license test this summer and hopes to join track and field at school. She has discovered that she is fast on her feet! Her love of worship and music is coming back in a big way too!  And,  she continues to dance at Ballet Magnificat. 


Thank you for standing with us! We love being in connection with you as we see God's purpose unfold for our lives. Pray for Michelle and I that we will grow in our relationship with Him and experience the favor and breakthrough in our lives to an ever increasing degree. Here is a verse to encourage your faith:


I Corinthians 4:16-18
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
