News From Heckman’s
On the Road Again August 2011
Hello!
We head out again Saturday. We are on the road to Wisconsin by way of Northern Michigan. We will take a few days of vacation time before taking David on to NTBI. We have a couple of extra people going with us to make the trip fun! Angie will be heading to NTBI as well, and Tristin is coming along for fun and fellowship, and maybe some fishing! That gives us a full van with a roof bag on top for luggage! Please pray we have a safe trip.
We have planned a few stops with friends we haven’t seen in a long while in Wisconsin and Indiana, and perhaps Tennessee also.
We hope to have David somewhat settled in at Bible school, and be on the road back by the 14th.
Tim’s school starts August 22. He has been working hard the last couple of weeks doing yard work for a friend in Sanford. He’s been working 6-8 hours a day in the Florida sunshine. It has been a new experience for him, but he likes it.
Beka has 1 more day of testing to finish the Paramedic course. Pray that she does well. She is planning on going with us to Michigan and Wisconsin.
Brett and Debby and the girls were here for the weekend. It is always a joy to see them. Brett is hoping to transition to part time at his job and part time at Grace Bible Church soon. We are praying or this transition to work for them, as they desire to be more involved in the work of the ministry there in Palm Bay. Their AC went out last week, and we are thankful they got a great deal to install a new AC unit. Thanks for your prayers for them.
Amy is finishing up her Spanish study. She should be done in December. She and Hector hope to come here for Christmas. They are praying about his visa situation, and if he should take the NTM training in the US.
George and Linda keep busy. There is always plenty to do in Member Services and with the Youth Group!
Thank you so much for your part on our team. We appreciate your care for us, your prayer and your financial gifts! We thank the Lord for you!
Member Services-NTM
As the leadership of NTM continues to review policy and issues within NTM, some of the changes they want to put into practice directly affect the membership of NTM, Often we have to communicate the changes to our members, and do the data entry which is made necessary by the changes. We continue to update ministry, account, and family history on the members of NTM. We have been helping our folks as they move to retirement status, as well as those who are stepping out of NTM for new ministries or family needs. Pray with us that we would be sensitive to these folks, and encourage them as they move to the next step of their lives, walking with the Lord.
We need wisdom from above daily! Praise the Lord He gives us that liberally when we ask. (James 1:5)
Praise the Lord with us
