ENDING ILC

We want to thank everyone for your prayers during our time here at ILC in Virginia. God has taught us so many useful things for ministering on the field and we are excited about finally arriving in Moscow on July 2. This has been an incredible experience being surrounded by individuals who are facing all of the same issues that we are and we are so thankful to everyone who continues to support the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering which makes this possible for us.

Please pray for all of us as we say goodbye to all of our friends here. This is the beginning of a lifetime of goodbyes for our children. Pray especially for them! They have enjoyed ALL of the kids here and have had many fun times at school and on the playground. The journeymen have been great with the kids and encouraged them and shared with them also. All of the adults have had an impact on them in some way!

We will be leaving here on Wednesday evening and heading straight for the beach! (Anyone who knows me well knows I have to have my beach time before leaving!) We will be at the beach for 1 week and then we will be back in Boiling Springs for 1 week before leaving.

Thanks to all who have encouraged us with mail here. Please do not send any more mail to the Virginia address. Our address before leaving is PO Box 327 Boiling Springs, NC 28017. If you have not recieved a photo prayer card and would like one, please send us your mailing address.

Hope you enjoy the pictures of the kids! They are excited about getting to the beach and being spoiled rotten!

DC DAY

*We just wanted to say thank you for your prayers for us last Thursday during our day in Washington D.C. We had a GREAT day there and the kids were wonderful. We arrived in Washington around 10:30 and observed internationals in Union Station when we first arrived. We then went to eat at an AWESOME Kazakh restaurant called Cafe Assorti. It was great. We were in a group with 1 other family and with another single guy. After eating lunch, we went back to Lincoln Park to just walk and share our faith with people that we met. We were able to have quite a few surface conversations and a couple of people were willing to share some prayer requests with us.

*We also ask you to pray this week for us as we are in session until 5:00 each day. This means that the kids are in school until 5:00 each day as well. Pray for strength, focus, and energy to complete the week and learn all that we can in our time.

*Last week the Lord challenged me in many different ways! 2 of the things that He is continuinously reminding me of are these to things:

1) Revelation 2:10 - Be faithful unto death!

2) What would you do for God if you were not afraid?

*We thank you for being our partners in prayer. If you know someone who is not on our email list or you would like to be on our email list, please let us know! Hope you enjoy the few pictures!
