Welcome

I would love to invite you into my home to have a cup of tea with me. We could sit in my sunny kitchen and talk about all the things that are going on in our lives. I could share with you the news I hear from my grown daughters. How my grandkids are growing. We could laugh together over the funny things that they have said. It would be fun to share the ins and outs of our family life, and talk about our latest creative projects. We could share what God has been teaching us, in our personal lives, and encourage each other on this walk of faith. We could pray together, laugh together, and even cry together. Since most of us will never be able to sit down together face to face, I would like to invite you to join me here. So come on in and have a cup of tea with me.

Iced Tea Anyone?

Well, I can tell you that if you were sitting in my kitchen with me today, you certainly wouldn't want a cup of tea! We had a very hot and muggy day in Manta. I could have offered you a tall glass of sweet tea though! :-)

We had great services at our church here in Manta on Sunday. We had an attendance of 100, and God blessed. Patricio Solis was visiting us and preached in the morning service and then in the afternoon service in Porto Viejo. We are looking forward to having a baptism on May 3rd. This evening, Tony is starting discipleship classes with a new couple that has been attending off and on for about 6 months, but who have been very faithful the last month and half. We are also starting a class of the 4 Bible Institute Students who have completed the first phase of our program. They are going to be meeting together here at our house on Tuesday evenings. Please keep this group in your prayers. Darwin, Jessica, Mirian and Maria Jose are in this group.

We are waiting for our Architect to come up with an estimate for the next step in the building. We are praying that the Lord will provide the funds needed to complete this phase. Our contract at our present meeting place is up the end of May...we are hopeful that the Landlord will allow us to stay until the end of June. Please keep all of this in your prayers. We know that God is in control and that he has this all worked out. We are trusting Him to complete it.

Our family is all doing well. Mandie, Mike and Ioan are getting ready for baby Saranna's arrival in July. Ashley and Shane are looking forward for the arrival of their baby boy in August. Lexi and Jonathan are excited to be getting a puppy soon! :-) Teddy only has 6 weeks left of first grade! We are excited to be on the "home stretch" for this year! He is also looking forward to the trip this summer to see his sisters, brothers and grandparents.

Tony and I are doing well...keeping very busy. We appreciate your prayers for the ministry here in Manta!

God Bless you as you serve him this week!
Joy
