Finances: As missionaries, we are dependent on the
support (donations from individuals and churches) of others to pay our living
expenses. Our current support levels do
not cover our monthly budget so we have trusted that the Lord would provide as
He sees fit. Well, He has and we are so
grateful. Emil had the opportunity to
work, preparing taxes, for Team Tax in Temecula during tax season. This not only provided additional funds, but
gave him quite a few opportunities to witness to clients! In addition to this, Emil does real estate
and loans which has kept him busy with the current increase in activity in the
housing market. These additional funds
will supplement our monthly support!
Thank you to those who have sent business our way.
GRN: Emil’s role at GRN is Director of
Distribution, but he has currently found himself focused on a much bigger need…
increasing both staff and awareness of GRN.
There is so much work to be done, yet so few hands to share in the
load. Emil has already attended a
handful of mission/pastor conferences around the US (and leaves for another
this weekend) where he has worked with Dale Rickards and other staff to
increase the awareness of GRN’s staffing opportunities and ministry resources. If you know of someone looking to join a mission staff or volunteer, give us a call!
Washington,
D.C.: GRN has an annual mission trip
to Washington, D.C. to hand out CDs of the Gospel message to those visiting for
the 4th of July. This year we
will be leading a team of 35 to plant seeds in the lives of many! We are so excited for what the Lord has
planned for both our team and those we will encounter.
Becca &
Tate: The girls are winding down the
school year and are excited because Becca will be moving up to high school and
Tate will be moving up to junior high.
We couldn’t be more humbled by the work the Lord has done in the hearts
of each of the girls. They are beautiful
both inside and out and it is truly only by the grace of God! They will both be joining us on the DC trip
and are really growing in their walk with the Lord.
Ecuador: I, Stacy, have the privilege of joining
our church’s team on a mission experience in Ecuador this summer. I, and three other adults, will be leading 19
high school and college aged young people to work with Waorani tribes
there. We will be working near the town of
Shell, helping to build a Waorani church then, traveling to the coast to help
run a Waorani Christian family camp.
This will be my third trip to Ecuador and I am really blown away that
the Lord would allow me this opportunity!
Ok, enough said…. just wanted to give you a picture of our
past few months and the ones to come.
We love our ministry team!
Thank you so much to all who are praying, supporting, encouraging, and/or
working alongside us in our service to the Lord. You are all huge blessings in our lives and
ministry.
