Time of Refreshment

\”I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty,\”  Rev. 1:8

How awe-inspiring to know that the God Who is not only in our todays, but in our yesterdays and tomorrows as well, is also the \’Almighty\’. 

I am writing this update from the back porch deck of my father\’s home in beautiful West Virginia. One of the things most refreshing to us during our summer visit has been all the \’green\’; another is the pleasurable driving, especially amidst all this beautiful greenery.

While we have been busy, we\’ve been especially refreshed by lots of time with family and friends in the past weeks. This weekend, we will head south where I will attend classes in Tennesee while Bob heads to Florida to visit his parents and one of our supporting churches. We will then have a few days with family in Ohio before returning to Niger and a new school year at Sahel Academy.

Here\’s how you can prayer for us this month:

Travel. We\’re not the only ones traveling in the next month. Many of our co-workers are traveling as well. The Totmans return to Niger in July; the Goldes arrive in Niger for a one-year ministry, the Marines and Gillespies (us) return to Niger in August.

Staff needs at Sahel Academy. We do have specific needs which you can view on our website. If you think that God is directing you our way, we want you!  

Please visit www.sahelacademy.com so that you can get a picture of the ministry at Sahel Academy. Through your gifts and prayers, you are a part of this ministry. 

Many thanks to those of you who helped to make this trip possible. We will feel better equipped in the ministry God has called us to because of time spent in training and with many of you.
