AUGUST 2005 NEWSLETTER
Dear
Praying Friends,
“Bless
the Lord O my soul, and all that is within me bless His Holy name.”
THE WAY BAPTIST CHURCH:
The
church’s building program has made great progress. A group of around 70 men came in June to insulate and drywall
the interior of the auditorium. The Lord is blessing in tremendous ways.
We praise him for His provision. Each
week souls are saved and converts are baptized.
INDEPENDENT
BIBLE BAPTIST INSTITUTE:
GRADUATION, one of the highlights of the year took place on June 11.
We had a great attendance of church members, families of the graduates
and pastors and members of the graduate’s churches.
THE NEW PROPERTY: The adjoining nine acres to our institute we recently
purchased will be of great importance for the expansion of the Bible Institute
Ministry. Please continue to pray
this project and the monthly payment obligations.
PRAYER
REQUESTS:
A
continued thank you for your prayers concerning the mobile home.
We were able to achieve our goal of setting up and making the repairs
needed to make the mobile livable by the end of June.
With the cost of transporting, importing set up and repairs we spent just
under $3000.00. Please pray with us
about supply of funds for this project.
FURLOUGH: We
have returned to the US and are busy getting settled and working on our
itinerary. We hope to visit with as
many of you as possible and sharing our field report.
If you desire us to come by please contact us by phone or e-mail to
schedule a visit with you. Thanks.
Two days after our arrival home our
vehicle’s transmission completely failed.
We had to replace the transmission.
Please pray that our vehicle will perform well over the thousands of
miles we will need to travel this year.
Thank
you for your faithful prayers and responses to our prayer letters, reports and
petitions.
In
Jesus’ Name
