Catching up

Wife is doing well in the USA. She got to hook up with some of our old friends from ACU, class of 1980, some of the best people in the world. I wish we could be around them more, but free bed and breakfast along with fresh Swiss air hasn’t lured them all over here yet. But we’re patient…

Many of you prayed for S. yesterday, one of our neighbors who tried to take her life by overdose. She used to come to church here until her husband stopped her. She’s always talking to people about her faith. She’s got three children under 12, one is B. who is beautiful and fun, but was born with Down Syndrome (if that’s the right way to say it, and if it’s not, I apologize in advance). She started coming to pray with Wife and another member again at the Thursday prayer times about two weeks ago, I guess.

But the stress of life was/is getting to her. And fortunately, God has spared her life. Thank you so much, GOD, for over-riding her decision. I know you don’t want those kids to grow up without their mom. But I also know you don't always intervene.

Praying for her and her husband. Praying also for you and the opportunity to minister.
