Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for all your prayers for us as we traveled. We were able to see many of you on our trip. Please forgive us if we missed seeing you. Our trip was six weeks long. We drove 7,000 miles through 14 states. We spent three weeks in Oregon with family and three weeks on the road. We spent our nights between seven different homes and seven different motels. We were able to visit with so many of our family and friends.
Highlights of our trip of course was spending time with all our family and friends, being able to see the Boatnik Parade in Grants Pass with family and going to Bryce and Zion National Parks with friends. We would like to send a huge THANK YOU to our family for putting together a wonderful open house for us. There were over 75 people that came.
Randy was able to share in our sending church, Redwood Country Church, in the Sunday school class and the morning service, as well as touching base with a few other churches.
I ( Linda ) am just happy to be home again. For how long you ask? That is always my question to Randy. Randy traveled to Missouri in July for Regional Member Care committee meetings. Member Care has grown a lot in the last 10 years and it was necessary with all the growth to again lay out how Member Care has grown and what are the plans for the future. Randy along with the other two men on the Member Care Committee will be going to Florida the end of August to get input from our mission leadership and continue to develop what and where Member Care is going within NTM. I will be staying home to help care for the grand kids. Which happens to be one of my favorite thing to do.
Many of you know that Randy did something to his back which sent pains down his leg at the first of our trip. He was in extreme pain for a couple of months. He has been seeing a chiropractor which is helping but it was very slow. His pain level has gone down greatly, now his leg is just very weak. He still is not at 100% but we are encouraged. Thanks for your prayers.
Thank YOU for your support in many different forms in our lives and our ministry as Missionaries with New Tribes Mission. We are full aware that we could never be here and doing the things we do without YOU. We do count it a privilege to serve the LORD along side of YOU.
We get the opportunity to talk and visit with a lot of missionaries who serve around the world. We also get a lot of prayer letters from missionaries who minister around the world. What a privilege to hear of all that GOD is doing and how GOD is building HIS church in so many remote locations. New Tribes Missions works in many isolated locations and with Men, Women and Children who have never heard about JESUS in their language. We are constantly reminded and want you to know as well that the Gospel is going forth and we are seeing new brothers and sisters in Christ added to the Body of Christ. Thank YOU for being a part of seeing these people reached and now they too are Praising the LORD along with each of us.
We do love hearing from YOU and if there are things we could be praying for you please let us know and we would love to pray for you.
Co Laborers With YOU, Randy & Linda Wood
