Psalm 22:26 “They who seek the Lord will praise Him.”
Leah and I are praising God for many answered prayers! Here are some things that we, together with you, have brought before our God in prayer:
- Request – Wisdom regarding the direction of the Still Waters ministry.
Answer – God has made it abundantly clear that He intends for us to continue on, by faith, and provide care for missionaries in crisis, and training for shepherds.
- Request – Provision for the accumulated deficit.
Answer – Since January, we have been able to meet our financial commitments each month and begin to address the deficit. God has laid it on the hearts of His people to help, and has given Leah enjoyable part-time work.
- Request – That God would raise up 20 additional supporting partners in 2010.
Answer – Halfway through 2010, 11 partners have joined the Still Waters team!
- Request – That God would continue to use our lives to encourage, guide and bless His messengers.
Answer – We have been so blessed to invest our lives in missionary colleagues who have responded to truth and God’s work in their hearts – 
and we praise Him for these and many other answered prayers! Thank you for standing with us through some difficult days!
We were blessed to enjoy a visit from Gregg and Kathleen (Rutledge) Bowcock, all the way from California. It was just fun to hang out with some of Leah’s family!
Summer is always busy as we attack the work that can only be done during this warmer time of year. Here are several of the projects that we hope to be working on from now until the snow returns:
Finish the last of the siding on the loft
Clean out pond and repair flood damage
Begin retaining wall to prevent septic tank from sliding into the pond
Bring in all the firewood that will be needed this winter!
Our top priority is caring for those who God brings to Still Waters. As we are able (have time and funds), we will be working on these summer projects, and are asking God for health, safety and wisdom. We’ll keep you updated as things get checked off our list!
Jason Walton, a missionary (and a long-time friend) on his way to Paraguay stayed for a week and helped me put in some insulated windows. It was great to get caught up on what’s happening in his life, and talk about Paraguay with him!
You can tell who we are even through the cement dust, right?!
Leah and I are grateful to our God for each of you and we value your friendship and encouragement.
We are keenly aware that our ministry would be impossible without the team that He has raised up to partner with us. May the Lord richly bless you for your faith, your sacrifices, and your faithfulness.
We are honored to serve our God together with you!
P.S. We celebrate our 34th anniversary on July 3rd 🙂
