DEPUTATION BEGINS

Our prayer cards are in the mail and will be arriving soon. We have booked our first church meeting at the Waterford Baptist Church, on Sunday evening Oct 19, and will also be speaking at the Waterford Asbury Methodist Church in Oct or Nov.. Our first missions conference, where we will speak will be Oct 10 and 11 in Allentown Pa.. We have been very busy working on our slide presentation and Bud is beginning to work on his talk. Pray for Bud, Sometimes God asks us to do something that really takes us out of our comfort zone. Bud is an excellent sharer of what is in his heart, when it comes to the Lord, but finds in easier to share one on one. He is like Moses whom God called to do a job that was within his gifts but there were parts like speaking that Moses felt uncomfortable doing. I love to speak and am fairly comfortable in front of a group of people, my weakness is quietly waiting for the Lord's timing. This will be a new life's lesson for me. Our support has begun to come in. God is teaching me more and more how to let him control the big picture. It is difficult for us to receive. We have very much enjoyed being on the giving side. We've always found when we gave to God's work we received the biggest blessings. Our prayer is that during this time of deputation we will have the opportunity to share what God is doing in our lives and testify how He has always been faithful. We do not know when we will make it to Haiti, We are hoping to be there as quickly as possible, maybe as soon as January. It is all in God's hands. He knows His people and He knows whose hearts will be touched by what He is doing for the people, He loves, in Haiti. Scripture tells us in 1 Peter to build our lives on the cornerstone Jesus Christ. When we add ourselves together with His foundation we are strong and can move mountains. God loves it when His children work together using their gifts and resources to honor Him. We Praise Him For What is Has Already Done.
