Welcome to this world, Summer!

God is good all the time; all the time God is good. This week was an especially good week for the Gillespie family.

On Monday, while our son David was being sworn in as an attorney in Columbus, Ohio, his niece (our first grandchild) decided that Nov. 7th was a good day for her birthday. Summer Dawn was born to Brian and Gina Kinnard at 10:24 pm, weighing 6 lb. 1 oz. and being 19.5 in. tall. Of course, she is absolutely beautiful and very precious. We\’re all in love with her! We\’re including a picture so that you can agree with us.

A special part of this is that Lois was able to be present at the birth. We were in the middle of a missions conference in Norwalk, Ohio, a little more than half an hour from the Mansfield hospital. Tuesday evening, as we shared our ministry of Training the Next Generation, we were able to share these pictures of the next generation in the Gillespie family. We are so grateful to be here on home assignment for this very special time.

Thank you for your prayers for us. Please pray for our friends and supporters as they are making new support decisions for the coming year. We want to return to the field in the spring and can only do so as God supplies our support needs through His people.
