Jane has not received a call for employment from area schools. Hiring decisions for known positions were made at the end of May. Unless there are further openings for which she'll be considered, it looks like there's more subbing in store in the fall. We know God is in control of the decisions and timing and that His plan for our family is perfect. So we will continue to ask Him to help us trust Him in this and wait to see what happens. We appreciate your prayers as we wait.
Mitch has experienced a resurgence of pre-surgery pain in his left arm, elbow, and continual numbness and pain in his left hand after his neck surgery in January. This is particularly frustrating for him. He still really cannot do some things that he once could. Again, we know God is in control and we have to trust His grace and mercy as His strength is perfected in this weakness. But we do ask you to continue to pray for Mitch as he deals with this.
We'll soon celebrate a year of ministry here in July. We've seen God blessing in many ways. In May we had a great VBS with 5 children trusting Christ as their Savior. We've seen families drawn into right relationships with Him and challenges overcome in His wisdom, grace, and mercy. Last Sunday Mitch baptized three, for a total of 12 baptisms as Pastor here. God gets all the glory, for it is He who is at work both to will and to work for His good pleasure (see Philippians 2:13). Thank you for continuing to pray for the ministry here.
