We ran into some problems with the local government while
trying to get the permit for a modular building.
We are still working on the problem and are
considering
other options. Mainly the
possibility of skipping the modular building and going directly into a building
program. Many issues will have to
be worked out, one
is the money with which to build, the other the approval of building
permits by Maui County. Pray with to us concerning these things.
The
home Bible Study is going well. We baptized six since our last prayer letter. Two were baptized yesterday morning. We had the privilege of
leading Cassie to the Lord two months ago.
About
a year
one of the men of the church, Harry Timmins, shared his
testimony that
God had called him into the ministry. I
have been working with Harry one on one each week, studying with him, taking him
with me as I visit and minister. It
has been a joy to watch him grow. He
has been teaching and preaching in services.
The church has recognized God’s call on his life and he is now working
part time for the church. Pray for
him as we endeavor to mentor him.
Calvin, the 15 year old brother of the
8 month baby who died of sids is still attending, his mom and dad
come
once in a while, please keep praying for them.
We
still have the tarp outside for classes. Attendance has been good, we had 97
yesterday morning and 50 last evening. Daily
Vacation Bible School will be July 9th
through the 13th . We will have a closing program Sunday July
15th. July 15th
will also be Ruth and my 40th wedding anniversary.
