Dear prayer partners and faithful supporters,
The time has come for us to make some
MINISTRY CHANGES
As of the end of this month we will be turning our work here over to national leadership. There will be some folks we baptized back in 2001 in charge. Such times are never easy; there are always mixed emotions in leaving. But there comes a time when the missionary must stand back, having taught and shown what to do, and the people must take the responsibilities upon themselves without American help. We see some signs of people stepping up to the plate and this makes the transition a bit easier.
WHAT NEXT?
Patti goes into the hospital on June 1st for an exploratory procedure and possible surgery. That will give me nearly two weeks before I go to England, where I've been asked to teach the course on Hebrews and General Epistles at the Bible institute. Those are two things that we ask prayer for - Patti's health (she's been in considerable pain the past few days) and the institute course. This is my first opportunity to teach at the institute so this is new territory for me.
After that we'll be helping another church planting missionary for a while in the valleys to the west of us. He has discussed with us possibilities for church plants in various communities, so we could be working in any number of areas between Cardiff (the capital city on the coast) and the heads of the valleys communities to the north.
Please pray for us in this transition time; letting go is never easy, but new challenges at least make it easier.Lifting up the glorious Name of JESUS this side of the pond,
Tom and Patti Wheeler
