We\’re writing our update this morning from full hearts that just want to share with you how God is working, especially since your prayers are being answered.
First of all, we\’ve been encouraged from God\’s Word once again. In Matt. 16, the disciples were fretting because they had forgotten to bring bread. Jesus marvels that even after the feeding of the 5000 and then the feeding of the 4000 (both times with lots of leftovers), they still didn\’t get it. They found it hard to comprehend that GOD was with them; their needs would be met. Amazing; we have the same God in our midst today.
Secondly, our home church voted this week to increase our support by $550 per month. We are so thankful for this added support which will not only help us get to the field sooner, but also shows us how much they are behind what God is doing through our ministry.
Last of all, our beautiful new granddaughter is providing laughter every time we are with her. Grandma has finally taken time to update our photo album on the web with lots of new pictures. You can find them at www.gillespiesonline.comphotos.htm.
We ask that you continue to pray that God will bring in the remainder of our support so that we can leave this Spring for the field of Niger and Sahel Academy. Please don\’t be discouraged by thinking you can\’t do anything to help with our support (or that of other ministries whose work stirs your hearts), because you can. You can pray. God will use your prayers to accomplish His will.
