| This update is being done at about 9:50 this evening.
We find ourselves in Savannah, Georgia, preparing for our final
"regular" deputation meeting tomorrow morning with
Heavenbound Baptist Church. Since our last update many things
have taken place. First, we made the trip from Urbanna,
Virginia, down to Greenville, South Carolina, last night. This
morning I drove up to Brevard, North Carolina, to pick up the boys (plus
our nephew Richard Freeman) from summer camp. We then returned
to Greenville and picked up Melissa and Addie and the 6 of us made the
trip here to Savannah. Second, we made progress with the
bus. The trailer company installed the new hitch and it
certainly helped the situation. I say helped because it's
still far from perfect. My father also repositioned some of the
contents of the bus/trailer, which also helped. However, my father can now go around
50-55, so he's steadily working his way towards Texas. At around
7:00pm this evening he was in the De Funiak Springs, Florida area
(about 75 miles from the Alabama state line). He was forced to
stop and wait out a strong thunderstorm passing by (our
bus/trailer do NOT do well in high winds and heavy rain). This
is actually impressive progress, considering he left Virginia Friday
at around 11:00am and can only go 50-55 mph. He is still having
a number of other small issues with the bus, so please continue to
pray for his safety and the Lord's sustaining hand as this trip is
completed. As I mentioned earlier in this update, we will be
meeting here in Savannah tomorrow morning and will leave immediately
afterward for our own 26 hour journey down to Texas. It is our
desire to arrive sometime Monday evening, so please keep us in your
prayers as well. Finally, please keep the house in Texas in your
prayers. We've heard an encouraging report from Bro. Shue in
Donna, Texas which leads us to believe our house may have escaped any
serious damage from Hurricane Dolly, but we won't know the full extent
of the situation until we arrive on Monday.

|
| A few things we wanted to update you about tonight.
First, please keep the situation with our move to Texas in your
prayers. My father arrived today and we tried the bus with the
trailer for the first time (they finished the vinyl work today, so it
was the first day it was available). Unfortunately, all did not
go well. The bus has the power to pull the trailer, but once you
top 40 miles per hour it begins to "drift" or
"sway" and becomes uncontrollable before you reach 50
mph. This is obviously not acceptable for a cross-country road
trip. We had to take the bus into a trailer shop today to have a
new "anti-sway" system installed, as well as a "weight
distribution" system. They should have everything ready by
noon tomorrow, which is when my father wanted to leave the area to
begin his way towards Texas. Please pray that they will indeed
finish the work and that these systems will fix the problems with his
towing. He only needs to be able to safely drive around 55 mph,
and the trailer company seemed confident this would be possible.
Also, we wound up not being able to make our scheduled meeting tonight
in Chesapeake, due to my being delayed in Powhatan working with the
trailer situation. Pastor Giles was extremely understanding
about the situation, but we still deeply regret having to miss any of
our scheduled meetings. Second, please keep our house in Texas
in your prayers. You may have heard that hurricane Dolly has
landed in Brownsville, Texas. Our house is in Rio Grande City
and they have called for evacuations from low-lying areas there due to
flooding. They average 22 inches of rain per year, but are
expecting 15 inches from this storm. To compound this issue, we
have no insurance on the home, since no company would insure the
property until we moved in next week. So, two major things as we
prepare for our move to Texas. I know God is in control, and
pray that He will allow the rest of this move to go smoothly.

|
| Well, it's been quite a while since our last update, so we
thought it was well past time to catch you up to date on what is
happening with us. At last report I was in Mooresville, Indiana,
and Melissa and the kids were in Powhatan, Virginia. Since then
I have in fact had several meetings. First, I had a good Sunday
morning meeting with the folks at Rolling Hills Baptist Church in
Shepherdsville, Kentucky, and then that evening with Berean Baptist
Church in Greenwood, Indiana. Both of those meetings went well,
and it was a blessing to have the opportunity to visit with
them. The next day, Monday, I travelled into Bristol, Virginia,
to be in the area for a Wednesday meeting. I spent 2 very long
days in a hotel on Monday and Tuesday....made longer by the fact that
my computer died the day I arrived (the display on the laptop stopped
working). I was able to purchase an external monitor to use with
it on Tuesday, but it sure is akward at this point. On Wednesday
I was able to present our ministry at High Point Baptist Church in
Meadowview, Virginia, and then travelled back to Powhatan after the
service to catch back up with Missy and the kids, arriving around
1:30am on Thursday. We got an early start on Thursday in
finishing our packing for our upcoming trip to Texas. We still
had all of the stuff from the RV scattered around, and it needed to be
loaded in the bus and trailer we will be taking. We were able to
finish that process early Thursday evening, and then travelled to
Urbanna, Virginia, to stay with my sister for a few days, as our next
meetings were in her area. We had those meetings this past
weekend, both of which were with New Hope Baptist Church in Gloucester
Point, Virginia. These meetings went extremely well, and
were a blessing to us as a family. That catches you up to date
on the meetings, now for a few other items. Melissa was able to
put the truck up for sale while I finished the meetings "up
north". She actually put it on the road Saturday morning,
July 12th. On Monday I received a phone call from a lady
asking questions about the truck. She then called back again on
Wednesday (the 16th) asking if her husband could test drive the truck
the next day. They came on Thursday, took a test drive and left
a deposit when they returned!! The full payment was received on
Friday (the 18th) and the truck is now gone. We praise the Lord
for allowing us to sell this truck very quickly, especially
given the weak economy and surging fuel prices. He is always
good to provide for us, and He has done so once again through the sale
of this truck (and previously with the RV). Our bus is almost
ready to leave for Texas. Add Moore is finishing up the vinyl
work this week. I was able to help him with that process for
about 3 hours today, and he's hoping to finish by Wednesday
morning. A photo of the bus is given below, although not all of
the striping is completed on that side. The work that has been
done is wonderful, and we pray that it will be of great use to our
ministry in Texas. Braden and August left for summer camp this morning,
and we won't see them again until Saturday. Until then we look
forward to a meeting in Chesapeake, Virginia, on Wednesday and a bit
of last minute preparations until then. We will drive to
Asheville, North Carolina, by Friday at the latest, pick the boys us
early Saturday morning and then drive the 9 hours or so down to
Savannah, Georgia. We will have morning services there on Sunday
and then begin the trek to Texas immediately afterwards......time is
getting close!

| Hello from Mooresville, Indiana. Again, I've been
here for a few days and am just now getting to this update. It's
been a busy few days since our last update. We've finished
packing up the RV and delivered it to the dealer, so it is officially
gone forever. Melissa and the kids made the trip safely back to
Powhatan, Virginia with the truck and U-Haul trailer, and she is
extremely glad to be finished with that! I've had the
opportunity over the last few days to spend some time with the folks
here at Good Shepherd Baptist Church in Mooresville and have enjoyed
my time with them. We had a good service on Wednesday evening,
followed by a time of fellowship among some of us men following the
service. Yesterday I joined with the church as they went out
distributing flyers for their upcoming VBS. I'll be leaving
Mooresville tomorrow morning heading down around the Shepherdsville,
Kentucky area for meetings there Sunday morning and then up to
Greenwood, Indiana for a meeting Sunday evening. I'll leave
Monday and head down around Bristol to stay in a prophet's chamber for
a couple of days before heading up to Meadowview, Virginia for a
meeting on Wednesday. Then I finally meet the wife and kids
again on Thursday. Everyone and everything is doing well.

| Today we are in Harrisburg, Illinois. We've actually
been here a few days, but since I didn't put a post out yet,
well........ We are going to be here for a few more
days....actually a few more days than we originally intended to be
here (more on that in a moment). Since our last update we've
been busy with a number of meetings. We left Ohio and went down
into Tennessee and then back up here into Illinois. We are
staying on the grounds here at Bible Baptist Church in Harrisburg,
Illinois, and had services with them last night. We will have
services again with them on Sunday morning and then I will be
travelling from here up to Effingham, Illinois, on Sunday afternoon for
a meeting with Southside Baptist Church. In other news, if
you've read any of our recent updates or our July prayer letter, then
you know that we are actively trying to sell our truck and RV.
We've made a little progress! As of today we reached an
agreement with a dealer here in Illinois to trade our RV in towards
the purchase of a mini-van. They gave us $250 less than our
asking price for the trailer (which really impressed us) and then took
$6,900 off the sticker price of the van to get it down where we can
afford it! They really went the extra mile to get us into a very
nice van at a very reasonable price. To top it all off, we will
walk away from the dealer with a reasonable check because they owe us
money (the trailer was worth more than the van we are
purchasing). I kind of like purchasing vehicles this way.
Please do continue to be in prayer regarding the truck though, as we
do still need to sell it. Melissa and I will be parting ways
this coming Tuesday (July 8th), with me staying up here in Indiana and
Illinois for another week to finish our meetings in this area, while
she and the kids travel back to Powhatan and stay at her mother's
house there. We will meet up again in Virginia on July 17th and
finish our last few meetings together before leaving for Texas on July
27th. God continues to provide and has once again taken care of
a large need that we have. Below are a number of photos from our
recent meetings.

| Everything happened as expected since our last
update. On 6/18 we did indeed enjoy services with Nelson County
Baptist Church in Bardstown. They were a very friendly church
and we enjoyed our time together with them. The next day we
drove into Springfield, Ohio, and spent a couple of days with my
father. We also had the opportunity to see my step-sister (Missy
Rohrer), her husband Ryan, and their two children, Landon and
Laken. Our children definitely enjoyed spending time with her
kids!! Yesterday we left Springfield and drove about 4 hours up
to Richfield, Ohio. We will be having services here this morning
with Bible Baptist Church and then will drive up to Ashtabula, Ohio,
this evening for services at Lighthouse Baptist Church. We will
drive back after services and then tomorrow will make the 9 hour drive
down to Seviersville, Tennessee, (near Pigeon Forge) for a meeting in
that area on Wednesday. One prayer request: we have decided that
we will not be keeping our RV as we arrive in Texas. However, it
would work out just as well (perhaps better) to sell it now while we
are still on the East Coast. We've placed it up for sale, so
please pray that the Lord's will would be done in this situation, and
our preference is that it would sell quickly.

| Well, we made it back to civilization today. For the
past couple of days we have been down in a "holler" at Fort Boonesborough
State Park in Kentucky. It was a nice campground and a wonderful
place to stay....they just didn't get any cell signals, which meant no
cell phones and no wireless internet. But, it was nice to have
some peace and quiet! We enjoyed the opportunity to spend both
Sunday morning and evening services with Berean Baptist Church in
Winchester, Kentucky this past weekend. The church was very
friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with them. We also
enjoyed getting to know Pastor Taylor and his family better while were
in the area. We had lunch with them Sunday afternoon between
services and then toured the Boonesborough Fort together with them on
Monday. Today we made the short (2 hour) drive over to
Bardstown, Kentucky. We are staying on the grounds here at
Nelson County Baptist Church. We are looking forward to getting
to know this church family better as well. We will be spending
some time with the pastor and his family today and tomorrow and will
then have services with the church tomorrow evening. We leave
here Thursday morning and head over to Springfield, Ohio, to spend a
couple of days with my father before heading further north for our
scheduled meeting on Sunday.

| We've had a good week, which was supposed to be
relaxing. It was certainly fun, and the kids enjoyed it, but I
am tired and sore from all our relaxing! Finding ourselves here
in Virginia we've availed ourselves of the pool at Melissa's mother's
home. The children haven't been swimming since they were at her
house last summer, so they've enjoyed the opportunity. They also
enjoyed the opportunity to try scuba diving, which they took to very
quickly! This past Wednesday we took the opportunity to visit
with our friends at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church in Powhatan. It
was good to see them once again. We're getting ready to
"resume" travelling tomorrow as we head out from Virginia to
Kentucky and a meeting there this weekend with Berean Baptist Church
in Winchester. In other news, please keep both August and Addie
in your prayers, as they are both suffering with minor colds.
Addie still has the cough in addition to a runny nose and low-grade
fever. August is also picking up those symptoms now.
Finally, I wanted to share some good news with you. In our last
prayer letter we announced 3 new supporting churches. We now
have 2 more! Lighthouse Baptist Church in Loxley, Alabama and
Immanuel Baptist Church in Monticello, Kentucky became our 34th and
35th supporters, bringing our overall financial support up to
57.03%. We had mentioned last year that we needed to reach 58%
to leave for language school in July/August, and it certainly appears
that this goal will be quickly passed!

| It's been a week since our last update so it's definitely
time to inform you about what is going on! Since our last update
we have been rather busy. On 6/3 we moved from Swannanoa, North
Carolina up to Stuarts Draft, Virginia. That evening they had
some powerful storms roll through and we had to evacuate our trailer
and stay inside the church for a couple of hours. We found that
we also had a new problem with the trailer, that being a sizeable leak
in the master bedroom. I found the source of that leak the next
day and repaired it. Also on 6/4 I picked up about $1,000 worth
of supplies which were donated to us by Victory Baptist Church in
Staunton, Virginia. That evening we enjoyed a wonderful service
with Valley Baptist Church in Stuarts Draft (where we were
parked). On 6/5 we travelled to Amelia Court House, Virginia and
parked the RV at my mother's house there. Along the way we also
managed to stop in Powhatan for our regular dentist
appointments. On 6/6 several members of our sending church came
out to help us "re-pack" our enclosed trailer to prepare it
for it's trip to Texas in just a few weeks. On 6/7 we made it
out to Powhatan County High School to see Melissa's sister graduate
(along with several other teens we knew from our church).
Yesterday we had our final services with our sending church, Holly
Hills Baptist Church in Powhatan, Virginia. They had a normal
morning service followed by a pot-luck dinner and then an afternoon
service. We enjoyed the opportunity to once again fellowship
with our "family" and will miss them all dearly as we depart
for the field. We will continue to stay here in Amelia for the
remainder of this week and then will leave on Saturday for Kentucky
and meetings there on Sunday. Everything and everyone are well
(except that Addie has a persistent cough right now).

trailer is hooked up at my mother's house in Amelia and will be moved to
Powhatan tomorrow for "re-packing". |

| We're still here in Swannanoa, North Carolina. We
had a very good weekend. On Sunday morning we had a walk-in
meeting with Swannanoa Heights Baptist Church. The pastor
welcomed us warmly, as did the rest of the church. He asked us
to setup our display and gave me some time during the Sunday School
hour to share information regarding our ministry. He also asked
that I keep in contact with him in the future. Yesterday evening
we drove over to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and presented our ministry at
Liberty Baptist Church. This church also welcomed us warmly and
we had a wonderful evening with them. There are some photos from
these meetings below. Today has been spent making some travel
arrangements and preparing our prayer letters. We already have
an interesting story to share in that regard. About 10 minutes
ago I sent out the e-mail version of our monthly prayer letter.
About 5 minutes ago I received a phone call from Pastor Mike McDaniel
with Currytown Baptist Church in Lexington, North Carolina. He
had just received our prayer letter by email and "for some reason
or another" decided to look at our schedule on our website.
He noticed that we were going to be in Knoxville, Tennessee on June
25th. His church is having their mission conference from June
23rd through the 25th. Since we're going to be
"relatively" close he was wondering if we'd be interested in
coming sometime during that conference to present our ministry!
That's enough of a blessing in itself, but wait, there's more.
I've never spoken to Pastor McDaniel before!! I had attempted to
reach him a few times without success. "For some reason
though" I've had him on our email prayer letter list and he's
been receiving our letters every month. Now, I am scheduled to
be with him on June 24th. It's always exciting to watch God
provide us with these unique meetings in His perfect
timing.
