Leaders are constantly called upon to evaluate progress<\/u><\/i><\/b>
\n<\/u>and redefine objectives<\/u><\/b>.<\/i> We are constantly doing this in
\nour personal lives also. Often events and changing realities prompt us to stop
\nlong enough to do this.<\/span><\/p>\n

I recently returned from a trip that took me to Mexico and then over to Sanford, Florida.
\nIn Mexico,
\nI witnessed motivating progress in God-honoring areas. I saw maturing believers
\nentering into life with their own people group resulting in drawing people to
\nour Lord Jesus Christ. Young people, graduating from High School with a love
\nfor God, determined to live out their Christian life. Our Granddaughter, Briana
\nArnold is one of those. I totally enjoyed being present for her graduation and
\nthe events surrounding that. I saw leaders making difficult choices that will
\nenhance our relationships with others of the body of Christ, as we serve Him
\ntogether.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

In Sanford, Florida I participated in several days of
\nmeetings in which we examined and gained understanding that will help us as we
\ncontinue to reach unreached people groups in the most needy parts of this
\nworld. We know that God has given us increased understanding that will result
\nin changes that God desires to see in me and Faith personally and also changes
\nwe need to make in how we prepare people for missionary service. So we are evaluating
\nand<\/u><\/i><\/b> redefining<\/b><\/u> <\/i>a number of areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Nearly a week ago I returned home to find that in my absence Faith
\nalso has been evaluating and redefining<\/u><\/i><\/b>. During this two
\nweek trip that I made, she discovered her physical limitations more accurately.
\nWhen we\u2019re here together, I\u2019m able to help her in various ways that reduce the
\nwork-load for her, which has masked her real condition. We have three doctor\u2019s
\nappointments with specialists scheduled, two of which are next week, to check
\nout some rather alarming symptoms that she has. She is in constant pain in her
\nhead, neck, and extremities, constant tingling down her arms, hands, legs and
\nfeet. She loses her balance easily. All of these are getting worse. She says,
\n\u201cThese are now \u2018screaming\u2019 at me.\u201d  God knows what He is doing! WE
\nTRUST HIM COMPLETELY — and we covet your prayers! We know that God is in
\ncomplete control! We are resting in this truth. She will see one of the TOP
\nspine surgeons in America in
\nSt Louis on
\nJuly 5th<\/sup>.  Pray with us for God\u2019s wisdom in discerning what is
\ngoing on.  We need to find out what is causing these symptoms. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

These changing realities<\/i><\/b> in Faith\u2019s physical
\ncondition are causing Faith and me to reevaluate and redef<\/u>ine<\/i><\/b>
\nour objectives. We earnestly desire that you be a part of this. We will keep
\nyou informed as we gain understanding from the medical specialists. Pray for
\nthe following:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

1.    <\/span><\/span><\/span>That God
\nwill give the doctors wisdom to identify the cause of these symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

2.    <\/span><\/span><\/span>That God
\nwill indicate the correct solution with the least negative side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

3.    <\/span><\/span><\/span>That Faith
\nand I will honor God before others as we experience all that God has ahead for
\nus.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

4.    <\/span><\/span><\/span>That God
\nwill lead us together with you in regard to what changes we should make in our
\nlives and ministry.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

We are both content with whatever God has ahead for us. Thank
\nyou for being an important part of our lives!!!<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

BIG hugs from us to you! <\/span>J<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
