Hello from Roach, Missouri! (The name of the town is priceless!) Seasons are changing once again, yet this state can't make up its mind. Last week was rather cold and this week has been very warm. Yay for Missouri weather!
Life in child-care has been a bit crazy this week. We were low on staff, due to sickness and other reasons. Chelle, one of the women I work with, took an emergency trip to visit her father in Florida on Monday. He is home with the Lord as of Thursday night. Please be praying for her and her family. Please also pray for all the ladies who work in child-care as this week has been difficult, due to it's abnormality. Pray that everyone will be refreshed this weekend and ready to begin a new week. (I found out next week will be a lot like last week. Please be praying for the ladies who are working and please don't forget the kids.)
Construction of the five-plex has been moving right along. We are just about finished with the wiring. Things have been moving fast it seems. I have been learning a lot that will help me serve better where-ever God has us in the future. I have really enjoyed learning everything. I am currently wiring the electrical panel for the last unit, the guys here that know the most, have been very willing to teach me anything I ask as we are going along. This has been a great learning experience. We just had the first 2 units rough in inspected and they passed with some minor alterations. We are praying that we can get the last three inspected by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. From there they will be insulated and dry walled, while we are finishing up the siding. Pray that we can stay focused on why we are here building so that others can train and learn here and go reach the unreached. We all have a part to play to further the spread of the gospel to the ends of the earth, some give, some pray, we build. Would you guys also keep in your prayers funding for the building projects here. God has been blessing us through and through, for this building, and as we move forward in planning for the new classroom building and more housing please pray for wisdom as that moves forward and the finances. Your prayers have been a real encouragement to me and Amanda as we serve here, thank you. If you could also keep in your prayers our goal, it is to get this built, so the new missionary students can live in them by August first. Please pray for continued safety on site.
There are four more weeks left in this semester here at the Training Center. Please keep the students in your prayers. Please pray they finish strong. Pray for adjustment as many will be leaving campus and serving others over their summer break. (There is one group that is headed to Indonesia.) Pray for the children here on campus as they know things are changing due to the parents packing up.
The end of the semester also brings transition even among the staff. Please be praying for people to fill in where others have stepped out. For example... us! It has been a joy serving here at the training center; however it is time for us to begin the training in the fall. That leaves one less person in child-care and one less person on the new construction crew. Please pray that God will bring people along to serve where we had served.
