We were praising God that Judah did not have to have the predicted surgery, but was pronounced to be completely fine instead! It was so wonderful to be with them \u2013 we sure miss all of our children and wish they lived closer, but we are proud of how each of them follows God.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month we asked you to pray about Peter\u2019s upcoming trip to West Africa. He is going to be speaking there, and our God has completely provided<\/strong> for me to accompany him! Yeehaw!!<\/p>\n

It has been four years since a winter flash flood cut through the berm next to the dam and drained the pond here at Still Waters. Since that time we have been working to acquire two permits to restore the pond to pre-flood conditions. We are thankful for the first permit<\/strong> that was issued last year, enabling us to\u00a0commence work on the retaining wall to the side of the pond. Hopefully, by the end of this summer, that phase of the project will be completed. We praise God for\u00a0supplying\u00a0the materials through His generous people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Recently, our second permit request<\/strong> was handed off to another environmental agency, and\u00a0we have had to start the application process all over again. Please pray that God would give us patience and wisdom<\/strong> as we continue to ask permission to repair the lower dam. Our prayer is that God would move in the hearts of officials to allow this reconstruction so the pond can be restored. From the first moment we saw this property, we envisioned the still waters of the pond adding that special touch to this quiet, restful\u00a0setting, and our missionary colleagues being refreshed<\/strong>\u00a0as God reminded them of His faithful promises.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0We are so blessed to be able to minister to God\u2019s servants here, and in so doing, help strengthen the team<\/strong> that is reaching a lost world for Christ.<\/strong> Thank you for being our partners in this effort! We will write again upon our return from Africa, and are grateful for your prayers<\/strong> during our journey. We\u2019re praying for you, too!<\/strong><\/p>\n

With love and thanksgiving,<\/div>\n
