May 8, 2014 Greetings and Update from New Jersey

Well it has been a busy year, for which we thank the Lord.  Our travels this year have taken us from Connecticut to Chicago three times, Kansas City twice, St. Louis twice, Atlanta twice, Augusta, Several locations in Florida twice, Richmond Kentucky, Several locations in New Jersey while staying at CMML, Chambersburg PA, and Cincinnati.  We enjoyed a conference in Kansas City, Southern Florida, York and Cincinnati and one on Saturday here at CMML.  All of this was driving miles with the exception of the conference in Cincinnati.  While I was in Cincinnati for the weekend Joyce spoke at a women's conference at Greenwood Hills.  So it has been a busy and productive year.  Thanks to all who invited us to visit, it was such an encouraging year for Joyce and I.

Next week we will begin the trek that will eventually bring us back to Manila in about 49 days from the writing of this update.  We will finish up here in New Jersey next Thursday and then head up to Connecticut for a couple of meetings then over to Chicago for a couple of meetings, then down to Springfield IL for a midweek, then off to St. Louis for a visit with some friends, then finally back to Kansas City where we will drop off the car we leased this year from Missionary Motors and fly out of Kansas City to San Francisco and visit with some friends and speak on the Lord’s day there.  Then on the 26^th we will board a plane that will take us back to the Philippines.  I am tired just thinking about it.

When we arrive back in Manila we want to immediately begin preparations for a surgery that Joyce needs.  Please be praying with us that the constant headaches that she has been enduring for so many years now may be relieved by this procedure. 

 

Then we will head up the mountain to our home in Baguio.  It will be good to be “home” for a while. 

 

Thank you all so very much for your prayers and support of the Lord’s work among us.  May he richly blessed you all.
