Hi
Friends! I hope your summer is starting off well with some time in the sun,
some BBQ on the grill, and a nice glass of sweet tea!
Tony
and I figured we had had so many visitors come our way lately, it was time to
do some visiting of our own! So we headed down to Louisville KY and reunited
with a lot of great friends! Tony and I had the opportunity to share with our
old church, Crossing, about all the Lord has done and is doing in Cleveland. We
also had the opportunity to help raise support for our friends Colin and
Marianne as they prepare to move to Cleveland and help us in our church
planting efforts! What a great time! It was a blast being there and catching up
with old friends!
When we returned to Cleveland, life quickly became overwhelming between our Wednesday night community group needing a new location, major construction beginning on the road our Church meets on, and our church computer crashing. Welcome home right;) But we’re still trucking along and leaning in to Jesus more and more with each day!
Michael
and Aubrey Meadows, our North American Mission Board Interns, are officially in
Cleveland! They’ve been here less than a week and have already been a
tremendous help and encouragement! We couldn’t be more thankful that the Lord
is allowing us both to play a part in each other’s church planting journeys-what
a blessing!
We
are anxiously, excitedly, and expectantly gearing up for a summer full of
mission teams! We receive our first team this coming Sunday. Can’t wait to see
how the Lord will use this team of 12 people from Lewisport, KY to further the
kingdom in Cleveland!
Please
keep us in your prayers sweet friends! Continue to pray for the Lord to bring
us a music minister. We know he’ll bring us the perfect person in his perfect
timing. Please pray for all our summer activities and mission teams. Pray that
these activities would result in people coming to know Jesus as their Savior
and joining the local church body of Gateway Church Old Brooklyn.
Now
time to get back out in the sun and soak up some rays in the garden! Thanks for
reading!
So good to hear all that the Lord is doing within your works. Growing pains will bring the birth of even more souls lead to our Savior Christ. Prayers for all the above mentioned as well as you both having the knowledge, wisdom & strength to do God's bidding. Keep up the great work and know you are supported by a large team of faith so you are NEVER alone. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
