Brothers




What an awesome time we had with Dan, Sara, Peter, and Andrew. We drove home Monday, and it was hard to say good bye.

We will be taking a quick trip to see Dad in a couple of days. I am sure he would be grateful for your prayers.

Almost two weeks old


Andrew is a sweet and calm little boy, and we are enjoying getting to know him!


We had great fellowship with the church folks in upstate Maryland, and we pray for support from them in God's will.

We appreciate your prayers.

Our help


We are home for today and will be leaving tomorrow to travel to Maryland and then Virginia. We have the opportunity to present in a church this weekend and then, since we will be close, we will go to Chesapeake to see Dan, Sara, Peter, and Andrew.

My Dad would appreciate your prayers. He has been diagnosed again with cancer and the particular problems associated with that. The Lord is a great help and comfort to him.

Please continue to ask the Lord for our support to grow.
We desire to be in His will.
Thank you.

"and you shall rejoice in all the good which the LORD your God has given you and your household." Deuteronomy 26:11

Congratulations!


We are so happy to be grandparents again!

Dan, Sara, and Peter welcomed Andrew into their family at about 11:20 this morning. Both Andrew and Sara are doing well. We are thankful for this answer to prayer.

Pressing forward


We have a missions conference starting tomorrow in Dowagiac, Michigan. The conference will go through Wednesday. Following the conference we will head down to Bob and Janelle's for Olivia's 1st birthday next weekend. We then travel to Maryland for a meeting over Mother's Day weekend. After that meeting we will go to Chesapeake to meet our new grandson, Andrew, who is scheduled to be born on Friday, May 2nd.

Please pray for Sara and the baby for a safe delivery. Please pray for our support levels to rise. We are making steady progress. With another church voting this week, we should tip over the 50% mark!

We always need your prayers and thank you for helping us.

"Blessed be the LORD,
Because He has heard the voice of my supplication.
The LORD is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped" Psalm 28:6-7

Fun times



I spent two weeks in Virginia helping Dan, Sara, and Peter. Janelle and Olivia arrived a couple of days before I left, so we enjoyed some playground time with both Peter and Olivia.

We are looking forward with great joy to the birth of Andrew on May 2.

Thanks for your continuing prayers for us.
