July-September 2017

1Thessalonians 5:24-25 “Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it. Brethren, pray for us.”

Dear Praying Friends,

We continue to thank you for all your prayer support. We’re expecting a very busy summer schedule! School ends June 29th, which is the last day Joe drives the school bus and then we begin our summer activities! Please pray for us during the two months of summer break, since we will be short income without this extra job.

On July 6th through the 12th we will have company staying in our guest room! One of our colleagues from Source of Light Ministries International in Georgia will be here to visit. We will be keeping him quite busy going to the normal church activities of the week, looking at some sights and helping out in the office!

We leave for Awana Camp in Alberta on July 14th through the 22nd. We will be taking 8 children from our church and a couple of other churches to camp 4 hours away. Please pray for safety on the trip and for all of the grades 5-12 campers to be healthy and to draw closer to God during camp. Penny will set up our mission’s display July 30th through August 2nd at the Waldheim Missions Conference, while Joe will be traveling in Alberta singing in a trio for Gospel Echoes Prison Ministry, July 30th through August 9th.

We will be driving down to Iowa to one of our supporting churches starting on August 17th. We will visit family on the way down there and Joe will be speaking at the church on Sunday the 20th. On the 21st we will begin driving to Maryland where we will stay with our oldest son Darren and visit with our three sons and their families. Joe will be speaking in Darren’s church on the 27th of August and begin the drive to North Dakota on the 28th. We will stay with Joe’s sister in North Dakota and attend her church on the 30th and head back home on the 31st! Joe begins driving the school bus on the 5th of September.

Thank you again for your prayer and financial support!

Serving God in Canada,

Joe & Penny
