A Wonderful week of meetings.

Abigail has been a great help to us on deputation. She waves at everybody. She loves reaching her hands out to everybody and she is our little missionary. She catches people's attention very quickly. She made many friends this last week at Family week with World Wide New Testament Baptist Mission.
This last week of meetings with World Wide New Testament Baptist Missions was wonderful. We feel so refreshed as we heard many wonderful messages and beautiful music. We are so blessed to be a part of our mission. The stand they take is doctrinally sound and they are extremely local church minded. So thankful for their approach to missions. We also were able to visit another missions conference, pastor's fellowship, and two different meetings on Sunday. The week started in North Carolina and ended with a meeting in Virginia. The church in Virginia took us on for support right after we shared our burden for Japan. We were so excited. April could not help but cry for joy. The last couple of weeks we have had 3 churches take us on, and we are at 37% of our support now.
Please keep praying that our support will come in quickly so we can get to Japan soon so Michael can start language school and so we can help Pastor and Mrs. Rich with Faith Baptist Church.

Great Meetings.:-)

The last two Sunday meetings have been great. Last Sunday we were very encouraged as the church took us on for support right after Michael preached. Then Wednesday we received a phone call from another church saying they took us on for support. Today, we had a great meeting and many decisions were made after Michael preached. The pastor said that they probably would take us on for support at the end of July.depending how their faith promise comes in at the end of the month. So thankful for these great meetings. The Lord is working and we are at 36% now. We know God has a plan and His perfect timing in getting us to Japan.
Please pray we will continue to get our support in quickly and that we will get to Japan as soon as possible.
