We made it safely back to

We had a quick van repair

It was nice to connect with
family and friends back home |

Fun with water, Maid of the Mist, Mikayla’s first driving experience
It feels like last we wrote we
were knee-deep in preparing
for our summer and now we’re
shopping for school supplies,
getting ready to send Mikayla to
kindergarten and Elijah to preschool.
We celebrated Heather
and Elijah’s birthdays and found out that Mikayla has her
fi rst loose tooth. We spent a few weeks in Grand Island, NY, and then Jackson, MI, visiting
family and udating supporters. We cooled off on the Maid of the Mist, a boat that takes
you up close to Niagara Falls, and saw the kids’ sense of adventure while at an amusement
park. We visited some of the places Heather hung out as a kid, including going mini
golfing and getting ice cream at The Parlor. (An amusing highlight for Heather was she
could go to her Dad’s garden and see small gourds starting to grow!!)
We would be very thankful for your prayers as we trust God to lead us to the new partners
he has for us. Most of our support comes from individuals and we are trusting God
to lead us to people whom he’s prepared to give.
Hee are a few things we heard from students who took part:
• We told this Muslim student that in Christianity there was no works scale and that God sent His only Son Jesus to die for us so that we could have life in Him. She hung her head and replied, “Oh, our religion of Islam does not have that. That is where Islam and Christianity is different. I wish my prophet did that for our people.” It was one of the most heartbreaking and amazing experiences I’ve ever had sharing my faith.
• God showed me that I am really passive, shift the blame, look for the a group option, and etc. •and that I need to change to be more of a man.
• God used this summer project to truly show me His power and faithfulness. I’ve grown ever more reliant on Him as well as the power if prayer. My eyes have been opened to the great need of people bold and passionate enough to share.
• Truly a life-changing experience! The best summer of my life!
