Here is a picture of Alan (the kidnapped young man) with his family. We had the privilege of hearing their testimonies in our church services this past Sunday. Please continue to pray for Alan. This Wednesday he must go to court and testify against and face his abductors. Our church was very moved by their testimonies. We packed out the church and we had lots of visitors. Our gals from Livonia really enjoyed getting to sit and hear first hand the whole story. Their church prayed for Alan as well as many other churches around the world!!
It has been awhile since I blogged. It has been a very busy three weeks. We are into our third week of hosting visitors! It has been a wonderful time of serving and fellowshipping with our State side visitors. Most of our ministry has been English classes. This past week we hosted a group of six ladies from one of our supporting churches in Livonia, Michigan. We had a great time teaching English to nearly 50 children. Before these gals arrived we hosted a young lady, Kara Nolle from Alton, Illinois. Kara was able to serve in a preschool as well as help out in our children's church ministries. This week we are hosting a group from Roxanna, IL. This group consists of three men and a their pastor and his wife. We hope to keep them busy doing work projects at church and here at our home. We always look forward to our summers when we are able to host folks and give them a taste of missionary life! Please pray that God would work in all the lives that our US visitors have touched!
