PA

It was wonderful to visit with this Mozambican family in Pennsylvania. The father, Americo, and the mother, Candida, have been studying and will be preparing to return to Mozambique, where they will serve the Lord.  

They would greatly appreciate your prayer as you think of them!

This last weekend sharing with the churches in Antioch and Milligan's Cove, PA. 

The pastor of these two churches asked my mom to share a few words about what it's like to be the parent of a missionary. One man told her his heart was changed because of what she shared. 

Praise the Lord!

A few days in DC!

With the Mowrys, who pastor Lebanon Christian Church.

The word that comes to mind when I think of this church is JOY 😄

 

After the service, we all went to a local restaurant where I took a picture with a former local resident 😅

OH and CT

It was great to see Julie and everyone from Open Arms Christian Church in Ohio this last Sunday!

What a blessing to share with this faithful and loving church 💗

 From Ohio, we made our way to Connecticut for a special visit with my mom's oldest sister, Denice, whom I haven't seen in almost 20 years!

Visiting Churches in the Northeast

 

I was originally thinking that when my head pain is fully better and before returning to Mozambique, I would visit with several churches who have been so faithfully partnering with me in this time. 

There is some positive change regarding my head pain, and I will share about this as I see how it progresses. Although I am not yet fully well, I have been praying about visiting these churches.

I believe that it is a special opportunity to praise God and declare His goodness and faithfulness when I am still in the midst of this, not just when it is over.  Of course it is also a privilege to praise God at that time too! 

So, God willing, I'm planning to visit these churches and people in the Northeastern US from the end of August until the end of September, and hopefully later visit a wonderful church in New Mexico.

I would appreciate prayer that I would be encouraging and edifying as I share about God's wonderful goodness and faithfulness in this time! 

~ Thank you! ~
