1. The missionary house at the Christian Health Service Corps base (near Dallas) is nearly completed, and I will be living there part of the year. Thanks to all my friends who helped with the construction, plans, and furnishing of the cabin. Pray that the cabin may be a blessing to many missionary families.
2. I am feeling completely spoiled! There is a dryer! And a dishwasher (though I haven't used that yet). And cabinets and drawers! Praise God for his bountiful provision.
3. At CHSC, we recently finished a board meeting and an orientation for new medical missionaries. With their kids, we explored the property—mostly hiking through the woods and fields but one day exploring in the Polaris. I also helped teach one day of CHE (or community health evangelism) and a bit of tropical medicine. Thank God for the new group of medical missionaries! Pray for the new mission hospital that will open in Honduras.
4. Praise God for the audio Bibles distributed in remote areas of Kenya. Many people do not read or write and are hungry to hear God's Word. Jo reports, "They said it is the best gift they have ever received." The need for audio Bibles is great, and they are received with great joy. Pray for the ongoing fruitfulness of this ministry.
Please be praying:
1. Please pray for the CHE traing that will be given in Malawi soon. Pray that the new ideas will be well received. I will not go this time, since Sammy and Jo can do it well. Please be praying for them.
2. We have been asked to give a Children's CHE training with the Tarahumara people near Samachique, Mexico. Please pray for God's direction as we plan this.
3. Please pray for the Fourth Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization to be held in South Korea in September. I am getting excited! Pray that this will be a time of strong fellowship with people from all over the globe. Pray that we may be encouraged and equipped to "make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:18-20
¡Muchas gracias!
Thank God that He is sovereign and powerful in all these ways.
Thanks to you for your prayers, encouragement, and support! Let me know how I can pray for you.
Much love to you,
