Great is Thy Faithfulness!

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3: 8-9

A beautiful miracle occurred at our District Council. For the first time that we can recall, all West Florida missionaries were called to the front, while the congregation was given faith promise cards. The ushers brought the cards to Bro. Trask and he called out the amounts and gave the cards to the appropriate missionary. We tried to keep a running total, but could only get an approximate because many were increased pledges. We stand in awe! Due to the tremendous outpouring of support we nearly have all the funds Springfield requires. Praise God!

We ask that you continue to pray for our family. We are in the process of sorting and packing. Trying to decide what is a necessity and what is unneeded can be challenging, especially in the eyes of our children. The next few weeks will continue to be an emotional roller coaster for us as we say farewell to our family and friends. As you pray for our family, please pray for the hurting and hopeless across Southern Europe. It is our prayer that they will discover the hope that can only be found in Jesus.
