James and Diane Gleaves Connecting You to Tribal Missions Finally an Update!
James and Diane in Chicago
We’re going to be busy this spring and summer! James has various trips scheduled to California and around the midwest at colleges, camps and churches. In June the Gleaves will gather in Charleston, SC to celebrate James’ folks 50th anniversary. Our big news though, is that I (Diane) won a trip to Colombia this summer with a Christian Radio Station here in St. Louis! I’m still pinching myself and laughing and crying all at once. I am so happy I get to go back to Colombia.
Spring Break
James left on the first day of Spring Break for Southern California to participate in the missions conference at Brea Baptist Church. He gets to see some life-long friends, meet new people and talk about his favorite subject – World Wide Missions. On top of that, he gets to see my sister and her family as well as my mom. Meanwhile, Shane and I get to stay back here in Missouri where it is a bit chilly and rainy. I don’t know why that doesn’t seem exactly fair, but at least we get a week off!

Diane visits Tyler
In early December, Diane was able to visit Tyler in Chicago. Along with seeing the sights and enjoying that delicious pizza that Chicago is so famous for, they got to enjoy “Candlelight Carols”
by Moody Bible Institute’s many music ensembles. Diane and Tyler made some great memories that will last a lifetime.

The Fall Season is Missions Season
October is always a busy month and this year will not be an exception. In the next six weeks I will be challenging Chrisitans to missions involvement at Calvary Bible College, Missouri Baptist University, Moody Bible Institute, Southwest Baptist University, and several churches. I am really looking forward to seeing our son, Tyler when I visit Moody Bible Institute in the middle of October. I will get to stay in his room for Moody’s Missions Emphasis Week. Pray for safe travels and that God would use me to raise up future missionaries to take God’s message of hope to the forgotten people groups of the world.
Health Issues
Thanks so much for your prayers for my (James) health. My thyroid seems to have regulated with medication. It also helps that I have lost about 25 pounds in the past six months. With diet and regular exercise, along with the right medication, I feel much, much better. I am very thankful.
