August Update

Numerous Ways to Stay in Touch

WorldVenture has recently increased the features on our personal ministry pages on its website. There is now a blog, photo albums and a calendar feature that you can view. To reach my personal pages, go here and you will find links to the other features. The calendar is mostly to let you know where I’ll be when I’m on home assignment (which I will be talking a little more about next month).

July was Hard!

A lot factors combined to make me wish I could get on the plane and come home last month, but in the midst of a very difficult time, God brought encouragement through many of you and a few fun days with Spanish friends and missionary colleagues. It also helps to know that my plane reservations are made and in two months, I will be on my way back to the States for a brief visit. I am really looking forward to catching up with many of you and sharing together what God has done in each of our lives.

This month’s quote:

“My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.”

--Thomas Merton in Reaching for the Invisible God

Praises:

1. I have made some plane reservations for visits I want to make while I’m in the States. Next month I hope to give you an itinerary.
2. We finished moving things from my old apartment. It’s good to have that done. Several of the men from church helped on different occasions and everything went well.
3. I am enjoying language school. I have private classes right now and the review has been good.

Prayer Requests:

1. I still have heard nothing regarding my residence card and I need to have this completed before I leave for the States.
2. Continue to pray that all the details will come together for the traveling I need to do while I’m in the States. I’m looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible.
3. I have two requests regarding finances. My monthly support has decreased by $150 and I still need several thousand dollars to pay off the loan on my car. Pray that God will provide what is needed. If you are interested in helping with either of these needs, please let me know and I’ll give you the necessary information.
