| We received our mail from the church today and wanted to share
a praise that we received a $100 gift from Jim & Amber Rogers to assist with the cost of buying our
homeschooling (or carschooling as they have now appropriately labeled it) equipment. This will certainly
help in offsetting the cost of providing this style of education for our children. |

| We just got "home" (back to the RV) from the evening service.
Pastor Perdue and his congregation extended a warm welcome to us, and the service was a great blessing.
At the end of the service Pastor Perdue led the congregation in accepting us for support as missionaries,
so we officially have our second church (first besides our home church)! This was a great
encouragement. God is good, and we continue to trust in Him to get us through deputation in 2 years
or less. This certainly follows that path. |

| We are in Delaware this weekend. We have an evening service planned,
so we took the opportunity to find a local church to worship with this morning. When we opened the bulletin,
I saw the face of Brian Niebert, who I went to school with at ABBC. He is a missions intern at their church.
We had an enjoyable service, and it was good to see an old friend again. Looking forward to presenting our
ministry tonight with Pastor Perdue and his congregation. |

| We had an excellent meeting with the Front Royal Baptist Temple in
Front Royal Virginia this weekend. The people there were extremely friendly, and we thoroughly enjoyed our
time with them. I had the opportunity to teach the Junior High Sunday School class, lead the morning music
and then present our ministry and preach during the evening. All around we were refreshed and encouraged
after this meeting, and pray that we were equally able to be a blessing to Pastor Clegg and his congregation. |

| A wonderful surprise this morning. We had emailed some old friends
of ours to update them on our recent events (surrender to missions, etc), and they responded and let us
know that they would like to help support our ministry on a monthly basis. What a blessing!! We also
learned that they are now expecting their 6th child. We have watched God bless them over the years, and
this latest addition is very exciting. We look forward to having an opportunity to visit with them
in the near future. |
