Dear Friends,
March came roaring in like a lion! We’re enjoying some cooler temperatures!
The pins in Linda’s hand came out easily and painlessly. She did pass out when she began moving the thumb, but she is fine. Seems to be gaining more strength daily, and it is not painful. Slight tightness on the incision, and overall weakness, is all. thanks much for praying.
We are working on updating our Member Services manual down at the office. This will enable others to carry on with the ministry if part of our team is gone. We still communicate and help our folks who are serving on Home Assignment, and those on the fields around the world, through communication, resources, and “government representative” type work. (Jury duty excusal letters, letters of verification, etc.) Our main thrust of ministry is encouragement and resource for our mission family to accomplish the greater goal of Tribal church planting around the world. There is a lot of work that must be carried out behind the scenes, to enable those on the front lines to accomplish their work in a proper and timely manner. We praise the Lord for the good communication there is these days through e-mail and skype. These advances in communication have been such a blessing to folks around the world! They are tools in the Master’s hand to advance the spread of the gospel to the ends of the earth.
We are excited to begin working on WEDDING PLANS! Amy and Hector have set the dates. They will have 2 wedding ceremonies/celebrations; one in Florida on June 9, and one in Mexico on August 11, 2012. This will enable both families to be there, and not have the extra expense of visas and travel. Please pray for work for Hector, and for his visa to be granted for their travels this summer in the US. Thanks so much!
David and his friends from Bible School want to go to the Michigan Lake house over their Spring break. We are planning on heading that way as well, to get the house opened up for the season. We may still have freezing temperatures at nights through April, but it will be fun to go “home” during a different season.
Thank you for praying for us. We certainly appreciate your partnership in our ministry to the NTM family as well as our MKs & Friends Youth group. WE seek wisdom from above and to be a blessing and encouragement to others. George has just begun teaching adult Sunday School in our little church here. Pray for him to have wisdom and good study times. Thanks!
Thanks for your partnership in our ministry! We value you and your friendship greatly! We thank the Lord for you. Let us know how we can be praying for you!
Love in Christ,
George and Linda Heckman
