Thank you for taking a moment to stop by and read out ministry update. We appreciate the time you all spend in keeping current on events in our lives as well as praying for us continually. September seemed to go too fast, but we are thankful for the wonderful connections made and time spent with family. We also look forward to what the Lord has planned ahead.
The month began with allowing us opportunity to worship in our home church which is always a treat. We are very thankful for the support we have received from Grace Baptist Church of Kennewick, WA. They have been faithful at checking in on us regularly to make sure we are doing alright while in pre-field ministry. It often makes it difficult being away, but we are confident that the Lord has not only called us to go but GBC to send.
The last two weeks of the month were spent in Wisconsin at the two churches that Kathleen attended while growing up. It was a blessing to be with both Brookridge Church and Providence and to share our burden for the people of Paraguay. The pastors of these churches have been aware of God’s calling in our lives and have been a great source of encouragement through each step of the process. A special pray request for Pastor Steve Svendsen as he currently ministers in Haiti with Bible Students.
Our time in Wisconsin went too fast. While away I was able to spend lots of time studying and preparing for upcoming meetings, the kids got to bond with cousins, and we got to explore the wonders of God’s creation. I also made a few additional contacts with area churches and am excited for the opportunity to connect further!
The coming weeks are keeping us busy. We are excited to be sharing our ministry at two churches this coming Sunday just south a couple hours. God has blessed us in allowing us this time to continue building prayer warriors. We are also scheduled to be in Salem, OR on October 10th. Kathleen and I will travel over together on the 9th and spend some time celebrating our anniversary on the way.
I will be traveling to Faith Baptist Bible College of Ankeny, IA on October 15th. I have been asked to co-teach a module with our Director Shawn Haynie. While some of the plans for this trip have changed I will be sharing our ministry plans at a couple churches. While there I will also be able to connect with fellow missionaries, area pastors, and friends from our time as students at FBBC.
