Hello Everyone,
We enjoyed our trip home this past month of June. The family was blessed to be able
to rest and spend some quality time with friends and family. We had the
opportunity to speak for the first time at two of our newer supporting
churches with thanks going out to Bro. David Mills and
the people of Kossuth Worship Center for allowing me to share and for
sponsoring another well. Thanks also go out to Bro. Jimmy
Daniels and the people of New Beginnings Church for allowing me
to share about the work in Mexico. Thank you Sister Shirley
Hight and the tweenagers class (Church of the Crossroads) for
inviting me to share and for sponsoring two water projects. Thank you
Bro. Gary Caveness, Bro. Jimmy Glover
and Bro. Tim Dillingham for letting me share with each
of your congregations.
Thanks go out to several people for
responding to the need of children's ministry supplies; Wendy
Smith (The West Clinic)- bibles, tracts, activity sheets- all
in Spanish, Dana Bailey-lots of crayons,
Beverly Gooch- Waldron Street Christian Church Sunday School
Class- monetary donation, Wendy Wood (Shelly's sister)
Waldron Street Christian Church Sunday School class- monetary donation,
Joe and Becky Wells (Church of the Crossroads)-monetary
donation, Church of the Crossroads- 5 cases of Spanish Bibles. Thank you
Euline from T and J Printing for all the shirts and
hats you gave us and for doing a great job on our business cards also. A
special thanks to Mom and Dad for the much needed new tires for my
truck.
Shelly and I had the opportunity to
take part in an Emmaus Walk while we were home. It was absolutely
wonderful! Our
Koinonia
walks were held at
Tombigbee State park in Tupelo, Ms. Our sponsors were Shelly's parents
Mike and Sandy Green. We cannot put into words how much we appreciate
them for doing this for us. We were spiritually refreshed and made lots
of new friends and one of which is planning on bringing a group down
next year to do an outreach with us.
We made the three day trip going back
to Creel on Wednesday, July 9th. Tim and Cheryl Scuitto
and their girls (see picture below), the new family in town that we
will be working with some, came to meet us just as we were pulling into
town. They will be working with the pastors of the Assembly of
God Church in Creel. It is so amazing how God meets all our needs,
even the needs of our children, however small they may seem. The oldest
of Tim and Cheryl's girls, Carley, is the same age as Monica. They
immediately became good friends which has answered one of our prayers
for Monica. Tim will be helping me some on water projects whenever he is
not working with pastor Gonzalo. Thank you Tim and Cheryl for bringing
in 2 cases of Bibles from our home church and 16 cases of MRE's that
Bob Cossell from El Paso, Tx was able to get for
us-Thanks Bob!!!
It looks like we are going to be very
busy the rest of the summer with the two ongoing water projects we have
begun and the outreach ministries with the churches we are networking
with. There are at least three different groups coming, plus a man and
his son from Louisiana that found our website on the Internet. They will
be here the first of August to stay a week with us. Everyone keep us in
your prayers!!!
Tim, Cheryl, Ryan, Katie and Carley Scuitto from Idaho.
