Dear Friends and Family,
We trust the Lord has given you a good week filled with many blessings. This week has been amazing! We are sad to see it end. Anna’s parents came for a short visit this week. They spoiled and pampered us all week long. It was lovely to see them again and share our burden for England with them. They were able to visit our church and meet several of the people we write about every week. The children at Beeches Road were thrilled to meet them! This morning, as I drove them to the airport – the magnitude of what we are doing hit me once again. Yes, it is worth leaving our homeland and families to reach a people in need of the gospel. Yes, we are happy and enjoying our work, but it is SO difficult to say goodbye! My heart ached all the way home as I drove in the silent car. God never gives you a trial that He does not give you the strength and grace to persevere. I would love to say to all the families reading this, love your families. Love them intensely. Time is so short, and family means so much! While you have your family together don’t waste a day, make each day special.
The work at Beeches Road is doing very well. We are busy preparing for our Baptismal Service on October 3rd. Lord willing we will be baptizing three people. It is exciting to see how the Lord has worked in their hearts and shown them their need to follow the Lord in believer’s baptism! Please pray we will see several visitors attend this special service. Also, pray the Lord will continue to work in the lives of those being baptized Mic, Simon, and Lizzy.
This week was our first week hosting a lunch and Bible study in our home for the children who go to the high school down the road from our house. We had five young people attend. It was great to have Paige, a girl who hasn’t been to church in a couple weeks, come and hear the truths from God’s Word. This unique opportunity has been a great way to reach children who are on the fringe. They are more likely to come to a lunch then a church service. Please continue to pray the faithful children would invite their friends and hear the gospel.
Thanks for your prayers. We love you all very much! God bless!
