July 27, 2021 – Diane and I were scheduled to be at the Family Together Conference in Poconos Manor, PA. It was held at the Kalahari Resort (Waterpark) so we decided to take Faith our granddaughter who just so happens to love swimming and being in the water!
It has been an amazing and yet tiring time. This 2-year-old is nonstop movement from when she wakes up until she falls to sleep. Which has given Diane a great deal of exercise! (I have been in the meetings and running our display)
We also en route to the conference visited a supporting church, some former missionary friends, and one of our Church Express locations.
I do also want to report that your prayers for support, finances, and employees are being heard. I spoke and shared with many new people and through that received a nice contribution for the development fund. We also this week received a grant for the work we are doing that we forgot about and have had applications returned and interviews made for our store positions.
We ask you (and we) pray and God provides. Thanks for partnering with us – YOU are a huge part of what we do and are able to do for Christ and the Kingdom.
This next week we get the keys for our 3rd location and will begin refitting the space to make it our store. Pray that it all goes well and is under budget.
We are also going to be having a booth at the Jackson (MI) county fair this year (AUG 8-14). Pray for good contacts and exposure of what we are trying to do with the folks in our town. And for some volunteers to help us man the 12 hours a day schedule.
Praise God for the many prayers that have been answered during this past month of transition.
