On our recent trip to Minnesota we had the great fun of…

celebrating the retirement of Chuck and Betty Selander, our former colleagues on the Central Mexico field,

saying “hello” to the pastor under whom Lynn worked in the ’70′s in Waterloo, Iowa, Al and Dorothy Travaille, a good friend and mentor,

and visiting Ken and Sheila Albright, also former colleagues in Mexico, who were marvelous examples and very influential in God’s confirmation of our call.

Next weekend we will be travelling across Wisconsin to visit Grace Church, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, followed by a weekend in Mosinee, WI to visit Good News Baptist Church.

Then before a month-long trek out West (Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska) we will tuck in a trip to Union Park Baptist of Des Moines, IA and Lynn will be sitting for his professional exam for his license in Marriage and Family Therapy.  Please pray he will have an agile and alert mind that day: October 5^th.

Confronting the challenge.

Shortly after our return to the USA, the Converge Worldwide accounting office informed us that we were falling behind in our support, reaching only 85% of the needed monthly funds.  That translates into approximately $1400 needed per month.

Our travels to visit churches and phones calls and emails have demonstrated that the short-fall has been caused by a variety of reasons:  the economic times, staff changes, and changes in mission focus, to name a few.

We are convinced that our time in Mexico and our ministry through the Marriage and Family Training Center  is not completed.  Because of that conviction, we believe that God will provide the funds through His generous and faithful followers.

Philippians 4:18  ”(Your gifts) are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.  And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”
