Dear Praying Friends, God’s invitations always stretch us, challenge us and refresh our dependency on Him in order to grow our faith. This new work with Manna Worldwide is not only the greatest opportunity our family and fellowship has ever been afforded; it is an overwhelming challenge as well. God has opened a door that will allow us to continue our work in Ukraine and expand our outreach eastward into Eastern Europe and Eurasia. More than 20 countries, primarily Russian speaking, former Soviet and Muslim people groups, comprise some of the most unreached, unevangelized regions of the world. We have been invited by Manna Worldwide and approved by the World Baptist Fellowship to begin this expansion of our work. Pray for us as we raise our support; we are anxious to see what God has in store for us beyond the borders of Ukraine. While the majority of our meetings have been in Texas, we have been visiting churches in Florida for the last few weeks. We were able to book some meetings here while we were helping Amy’s sister, who was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer. She had to have her kidney removed and then found that the cancer had spread to her thigh bone. After an amazing series of events, God led us to a wonderful doctor in Korea who is doing amazing things with cancer and we were able to meet with him while he was here in Florida, on business. After our meeting, he agreed to treat Susan, so just a few days later, she and her husband Rudy, left for Seoul, South Korea and she started treatment right away. But just a few days ago, she had a setback — while getting out of the car and into her wheelchair, her thigh bone (where the cancer had settled) snapped in two. She had to have surgery to remove most of the bone and they put a large metal rod in its place. She is in a lot of pain, so we would really appreciate your prayers for her. She will continue her cancer treatments in about two weeks. Now that she is in Korea, we will finish up with our meetings here and return to Texas at the end of the month. Once we return to Texas, we have some scheduled meetings and then Shawn will leave for Ukraine on July 27th. He will be going to Kiev to work on the development of the Smile House Bridge to Life Home, the transition home for orphans who “age out” of the system. Pray that God will provide the resources and teams to complete construction of this facility and the unfinished medical clinic for the children of Komarivka. Thank you all for your faithful prayers and support. We would like to ask you a favor…..we are updating our databases and need current information from each of you. If you would please contact us by email and let us know your current physical address, mailing address, telephone number, cell phone number and email address, we would really appreciate it. We would like to begin sending all of our prayer letters and updates electronically, if possible. This will cut our costs significantly and allow us to correspond with all of you more frequently. Here is our current information, for your records. Shawn: Email:
