Our meetings this month are pretty slim picking so we have decided to visit supporting churches. Scott and I are partial but we believe God has blessed us with the best supporting churches! Not only that but He has also led us to the cream of the crop in churches throughout our entire deputation ministry.
We have a church that sends us beautiful handmade cards for everyones birthdays, every holiday, plus our anniversary. Another church sends us a letter from one family in their church every week. There is a church that is going to help us pack our container and is sending a couple down to Uruguay with us. A pastor's wife aka mission secretary sends us a letter every so often telling us of the goings on in their church and family. Plus we have churches who give abundantly to us during their missionary Christmas'. It is so encouraging to look down our list of supporters (both financial and prayerful) and see the commitment of these local assemblies of believers. There is no doubt in our minds that God will use these churches to care for us and pray for us when we arrive on the field.
By the way, we had a nice time at our supporting church in Capac, MI. Brandon was on their list of prayer for his kidney disease. When Scott gave an update he could tell by the recognition on their faces that they were reading our prayer letters. Praise God! The pastor also led a timely Bible study on Faith. More on that later.
Uruguay Bound,
Debbie
