We want to thank you all for your prayers during these 36 hours and we appreciate your prayers as we are now back in the States and getting settled into the Grand Rapids area.<\/p>\n

Probably not the wisest thing, but we have hit the ground running.\u00a0 This week we have been busy with getting settled in, Jonathan beginning baseball practice, and the girls getting ready for a youth banquet this weekend.<\/p>\n

Next week, we begin our schedule of sharing in churches.\u00a0 Lord willing, we will see most of you during the next 6 months.\u00a0 As of this time, we have already scheduled 22 meetings and will probably add a few more before it is all done.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t see us coming to your church, please let us know and we might still be able to squeeze you in.\u00a0 Below is our schedule and when we will be in your area.\u00a0 Thank you again, for your partnership through prayers, support, and words of encouragement.<\/p>\n
