August 2014

“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
Psalm 16:11

The Path of Life

In the last three months our path has taken us to Maine, Connecticut, and Colorado. We have had the pleasure of reuniting with old friends, visiting family members, and making new friends. Sometimes the miles become monotonous but the journey is always exciting! We have seen the Lord provide for each journey as we follow His leading. With each answered prayer, our faith increases.

Fullness of Joy

There are certainly difficulties that accompany traveling often with four small children. However, we are finding joy in being able to spend so much time together as a family.

At a recent missions conference, both of us were given the privilege of speaking several times.  It is a joy to see the Lord work through a simple testimony or a Sunday school lesson.  He knit our hearts together with believers as we shared our burden for the Bronx and how the Lord is working in our lives.

Pleasures for Evermore

Each month we have asked God to give us two supporting churches. This last month we received three! We are so pleased to share that we are at 6.5% of our goal. It sounds like a very small step, but it is one step closer to our goal of ministering in the Bronx!
