Days flying by....

Art, the kids and I attended The Blue Church on Sunday with Josh Mills being encouraged by the awesome message. The body was very friendly and sought us out to introduce themselves to us and question us on how our CO training was progressing. The Lord enlightened us to the vision of their body to be a light to the nations. We were pleased to see that in their missions update they spoke of their teams/servants in Russia, Afghanistan, and Kosovo. Mark and Trish Edwards and Rebecca Schell from the team we are hoping to serve with are members of this church. Art and I were privilege to be there as they bathed in prayer their team that were preparing to leave on Tuesday to go to Kosovo and serve on the English camp team. One of the women was the teacher the boys had in Sunday school so they were able to hear her share of the things she will be doing while there.

The are quite active in their Judea/Sumeria realm of missions also. We attended a fundraising luncheon for the youth ministry team that will be going on a group work project serving in Virginia next month. It was awesome to hear these teens share how they are praying the Lord will use them and grow them to be more Christlike in their walk and provide them with a deeper understanding of his word.

Monday and Tuesday and today have consisted of a lot of classroom time to learn about support development. It is giving us a more biblical perspective of support raising.

Each morning a team of three lead us in worship whatever the Lord puts upon their heart. Art and I are scheduled for tomorrow with another young women here preparing for Afghanistan. We are enjoying the worship and devotions at the beginning of every morning really bringing our focus on what the Lord has to say to us.
