NTM - New Tribes Mission | Planting Tribal Churches

Flu and Snowmen

We are finally catching up from a crazy March! The first week we all suffered from a stomach flu. Sometimes you just have to laugh at life; like when you have two kids simultaneously throwing up! The next week we had a fever going around and then the third week we had bad colds. We all seem to be healthy now and are thanking God for that!
When we were healthy we took the time to make 45 snowmen, 200 hair bows, 10 gifts in a jar and Nancy’s mom made 50 scrubbies to sell for money to purchase kitchen items that we need in Guinea. We have a craft sale this weekend at our local community center, pray that it goes well! Thank you to those who sent craft things for us to use!

We also fit in time to print off several brochures to send to churches. We sent out 60 so far, pray for Michael as he calls those pastors to try to set up meetings. If you would like a brochure, or are interested in having us speak in your church feel free to contact us. Michael also found time to update our home church’s website (much overdue for a facelift) and to do several days of substitute teaching at the Christian School!

We may not be able to get to Quebec in August, as we had planned, but we continue to trust in God’s timing for us. Pray that we will remain focused as we look to Him for provision!

I know lots of you have been waiting for news of our van. We had so many paths that we started on to get it fixed and then that path would get blocked, but our mechanic finally just decided to take the transmission apart to rebuild it. He found that only the touque converter needed to be fixed! We got our van back last Wednesday at no cost to us!! A huge thank you to Johnson’s Automotive Repair of Big Rapids MI.

Prayer Requests

• Pray that we would sell a lot at the craft sale!
• Pray that God would give us wisdom as we contact churches.
• Pray that we would have wisdom in what to do for Titus’ schooling next year.
• Praise that our van is as good as new!
• Praise that We are healthy again!
