To our Wonderful Inner Circle Family:
Our life is in a state of movement. It has its challenges and its victories. For the sake of the Mission’s future, I stepped aside from being the director of IGM recognizing that it was the best thing to do. Yes, I know the Lord is in charge. However, a transition would be necessary for someone taking my place. There needed to be an “Elisha” and it would entail many challenges for him, as well. I learned a long time ago if I could only have someone to go to for help, and especially advice, it sure would be a little easier. Yet, the challenge of stepping aside would surely stretch my entire being. Questions began to stir in my mind which have certainly brought me closer to my Savior and a greater understanding of ministry. It has been a little over one year now since taking this step and God has provided His “Elisha” and as anticipated, he has his challenges. Through this experience, God is helping me to be an encourager to His servants and His called-out ones when they come across my path. Preachers are human just like everyone else! If the critic would only pray more for their pastor and one another, there would be a lot more joy and love in this wicked world. The mission of the church [His called-out ones] is to bring glory to God in every act of our being and words. TO GOD BE THE GLORY! —Eph. 3:20-21
I am often asked how Nancy and I are doing and my standard reply is still the same, “We are doing well for the shape we’re in and the age we’re at”! I am so thankful for those who care. Nancy and I are so grateful for your continued prayers and/or financial support. Our time together as a couple has increased and we are not distracted by caring for others. The two of us went to visit a pastor friend in the hospital and I would invite you to pray for Pastor John. We are looking forward to the marriage of our youngest grandson in September to a wonderful Christian young lady. The IGM transition continues in certain areas. Presently, I am setting up meetings for Peter Nilson-Kenya and K.Vijay Kummaragunta-India who are coming this fall—please pray! I always look forward to meeting the pastors and missionary leaders of the local churches here in America and overseas. I thank the Lord for the opportunity to share the Word of God with churches and individuals, and to be an encouragement for the glory of God. —Matthew 5:16
Your prayers on our behalf are so important and without you, it would be a very lonely journey. Thanks for being you! Don’t become discouraged. He is coming as He promised! Our assignment as His children is to bring glory to God in all that we say and do! —1 Corinthians 10:31
In Gratefulness and His Unconditional Love,
