Weekly Update

Sorry this is a little late this week. I thought Kevin was taking care of it, and he thought I was taking care of it.....ooops! We had a slight communication breakdown. :)

Dear Friends and Family,

Hope you are doing well. We would like to thank you for praying for us this week. Many of you have written and mentioned how you pray for us daily. It is such an encouragement to know that we have many people praying for us every day! Thank you for your faithfulness.

The Lord provided for us to build three new bathrooms and a kitchen inside the chapel. The chapel was in desperate need of updating since the only facilities were outside. Also, having a kitchen will be a huge help to our future ministry. Saturday, September 12, we had a Thanksgiving Service at Beeches Road dedicating the new addition of the chapel. God blessed and many visitors attended the service to see the updated building. It was such a special day as we gave thanks to the Lord for all He has given to us.

Anna’s parents have come for a short visit. They are staying with us off and on as they spend some time traveling and taking a much deserved vacation. They brought us over many surprises from the States. It’s always nice to enjoy the little pleasure of American culture. Many of the women from their home church made gifts to give to the children at the chapel. The children will be delighted to know that people are thinking and praying for them in a different country.

It was neat to have a school contact us this week in regards to having a Bible Club. Anna has spent many hours on the phone contacting schools. Several schools so far seem interested, but at the moment we only have one scheduled.

Here are a few snapshots from the week....enjoy!

An English Wedding
Kevin and I were invited to a sweet friend's wedding this week. It was so lovely and we had a nice time. We brought along a few children from the chapel. For most of them is what their first wedding ever! It was a great time for us to explain the principles of a Christian marriage to them.

Sue and Dan Jakeman - don't they look smart?

This week I spent some time babysitting the Jakemans. It was a beautiful evening outside....I grabbed my carema and ran outside to snap a few pictures of the girls. They are SO sweet....how can you help but love them!
