It has been a busy summer for the Schaibles

Posted by Doug and Cheryl on Sunday, September 18th, 2011

f1696576Cheryl and I want to thank you all for your prayers and kindness as we traveled down the road challenging laborers to be used by the Lord in whatever way He deems best.  It has been good to see the different types of folks whom He has raised up to go to the regions beyond to share this good news with those who have never heard and you all were a part of this process.  Thanks so much.

The Fall schedule is starting up and I trust that we can contact many more interested friends who will not only want to be church-planters but also support personnel who will work to keep those folks out in the tribe doing the job that the Lord and you all have sent them to do.  Let’s pray for many more tribes to hear the good news this year and other churches to come to maturity.

This Past Summer

It has been a busy summer and a really hot one.  Besides going to different churches, we have been able to work on some projects around the house.  We had to reroof the house, install new gutters and replace a fence.  It has been so hot that it was hard to do many things we would like to have done.

This Coming Fall

We trust that the Lord will be using us this next semester.  We will be traveling everywhere from Wyoming to Chicago to Texas and everywhere in-between.  Pray for safety and the finances to do all the things we would like to do as we meet potential missionaries.

CMC_6816Joel and Katie will be getting married in a month on October 1st.  We are very pleased with both of them and trust that the lord will work in their lives to be a blessing to each other and to those who come in contact with them.  Please pray for them as they start their lives together.

Leah is a real blessing to us.  She is still managing an “on the border restaurant” on the west side of wichita.  It is nice to go in and see her as she works with other employees.

She is also involved in a bible study with our daughter-in-law, Jane.  She really enjoys it.

IMG_1071Daniel, Jane and Maddie have been a real blessing to us also.  They are very active in their church and have enjoyed their lives together.  Daniel is selling cars at the #1 Suzuki dealer in the nation and has a great christian owner for an employer.  Thanks for praying.

Prayer Requests

  1. For good health for both of us
  2. For safety in traveling
  3. Increase in ministry support
  4. For many of the new missionaries going out during this time of economic scarcity
  5. That we would get up each morning thrilled to serve the Lord with all of our hearts, minds, souls & strength
  6. That we would go to bed each night not discouraged by what we could have done but failed to do

Salutation

Cheryl and I thank all of you for your prayers, support, lodging, kindness and opportunity to share what the Lord has done for us.  Keep the faith and we trust that the Lord will prosper you and allow you to be in good health, even as your soul prospers.  We love you all.

Your servants and friends,

Doug & Cheryl Schaible

A Thank You To Everyone

Posted by Doug and Cheryl on Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Thank you all for being a blessing.

Opportunities Galore

As you can see by the travel schedule in the left column, we were quite busy this semester. I think we drove more miles than ever but it was great to meet a lot of new folks and some of those whom we interacted with have made the decision to be involved in reaching tribal people. We do thank the Lord for this answer to prayer.


A Note of Thanks


Cheryl and I want to express our gratitude to all those who have been a blessing to us over the years. Many of you have given towards our support, others have prayed for us and encouraged us along the way but we thought we would like to give a special thank-you to a group of folks whom we have not been so public in thanking.

As you can see by the travels we have had this semester, we have driven many miles. When I started as a mobilizer for New Tribes Mission, gas was about $1.00/gal so you can see that it doesn’t get any cheaper to be a rep but the price of one thing has not increased for us and that is the cost of staying with friends when we are out on the road.

I first started mobilizing at the beginning of 2000 and I can only remember one or two times that I have not been able to stay with friends while I was traveling. (Actually, I spent one of those nights in my car in a Wal-Mart parking lot. I will have to tell you all that story sometime) In every other instance, friends, supporters, people involved in hospitality ministries and others have been very gracious to allow us to stay in their homes. This has saved us an enormous amount of money and we have been able to use that for fuel instead. We appreciate your ministry of hospitality so much and it reminds me of 3 John 5-8 which says, “Beloved, you do faithfully whatever you do for the brethren and for strangers, who have borne witness of your love before the church. If you send them forward on their journey in a manner worthy of God, you will do well, because they went forth for His name’s sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such, that we may become fellow workers for the truth.”

Q&A


Questions we thought you might want to ask!

Doug & Cheryl

Doug & Cheryl

Cheryl and I are grateful to be busy and at the same time to have bit of a rest this summer. We have some significant meetings going on and we thank you for being involved in them. We will travel to Arkansas, Missouri and Texas and catch up on some home repair. A group of men andyoung men will be coming to help us replace the roof on our house on June 29,30. If you want to be involved in that, please be our guest. It will probably take us one full day and maybe a little of the next to finish it up.

Leah & Maddie

Leah & Maddie

How has our daughter, Leah been doing?

Leah continues to manage an On the Border restaurant here in Wichita. She has been involved in a Bible study with our daughter-in-law and is a blessing to us. We are so thankful for the children we have. You can see her here with our granddaughter, Maddie. We really like this picture.

As with all of our children, please pray for their spiritual growth and to be a blessing to the people whom they work with.

How has our son, Daniel and his wife, Jane and their daughter, Maddie been doing?

Daniel, Jane & Maddie

Daniel, Jane & Maddie

Daniel just finished up the school-year teaching his fourth-grade class and has decided to make a career change. He is going to be working at a car dealership selling cars. It is the #1 Suzuki dealership in the country and the owner is a neat believer who wants the Christian lifestyle to be evident in the workplace. I think that it will be a good move for him at this time. Jane, his wife, is having bible studies and just being a great wife and mom.

How has our other son, Joel been doing?

Joel & Katie

Joel & Katie

Joel will be getting married on October 1 to his girlfriend, Katie. They have been dating for over three years now and we couldn’t be happier to have her as a daughter- in-law. Joel and Katie finished up college this past year and are now getting ready to think about their future as husband and wife. Joel is still working as a pharmacy technician and Katie is working is a physical therapist for those who have had strokes and injuries.

Final thought!

I have been reading 3 John lately and it has been such a blessing to me. Gaius and Demetrius was such a blessing to the folks in their fellowship and we will forever remember them for their faithfulness to the Truth and for ministering to the saints. Let’s keep pressing on regardless of the condition of this lost and dying world. He is worth it.

Each one of you have been an integral part of this ministry and we pray that you realize that your ministry of hospitality has helped us to find people to go to those who have never heard. Without your help, where would some of these tribal people be today or in the future. Cheryl and I want to thank you sincerely from the bottom of our hearts.

We pray that the Lord will allow you to prosper and be in health, even as your souls prosper. – 3 Jn. 2.

Your friends and grateful co-workers,

Doug & Cheryl Schaible
