To our Wonderful Inner Circle Family:

Greetings in the precious, unconditional love of our Lord Jesus!

John 13:34-35  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Romans 5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

As a child of God, we are to demonstrate to the world we live the love of Christ to one another. For no other reason than to show the love God had for us and for those who need to come to know Him.

1 John 5:1-5  Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Nancy and I are doing fairly well. We really appreciate your prayers on our behalf. Nancy has been dealing with meds for high blood pressure and pain in her knees and legs.  I have a “mass” in the right kidney and some prostate issues but we are on top of both situations. We are comforted by our God of comfort, 2 Corinthians 1:3-5. We both are grateful for your prayers, financial support, and encouragement.  Pray as we continue to function as acting director and our present staff.

Just a bit about the transitions that are taking place at IGM.  The Council is continuing to look for God’s man to take up the baton and become the director.  The Mission Council met June 10th and were unanimous after considering four options.  We are all in agreement that the Mission will remain in Rochester, New York and will keep looking for God’s man to lead this wonderful Mission.  Please keep praying for our role, the Mission Council, and especially for our Lord to give us clear direction and acknowledgement  of His man!

May our Heavenly Father bless you as you continue to serve Him!

Gary and Nancy Newhart
