Weeks of April 27-May 10

On April 27, we headed back to Northern Virginia, from Harrison, Tenessee. 

It has been refreshing to receive a break from traveling such long distances! On Sunday, May 3, for the AM church service we were able to attend Heritage Baptist. It was a blessing to see old friends and hear our pastor preach. For the evening service, we attended the Lighthouse Baptist Church in Winchester, Virginia. We enjoyed so much this growing church and the fellowship with Pastor David Martin after the service. 

The next week we were able to spend some days at home catching up with things that needed to get done. Rafael was able to schedule more meetings and finish some daily correspondence needs. Sunday, May 10, took us to South Charlotte to be with Graceway Baptist Church. It was such an encouragement to see this thriving work for God. What a tremendous opportunity it was for us to rub shoulders with Pastor Chris Edwards. His example and testimony were definitely a challenge to us as we endeavor to start a church in Hawaii. 

We were also able to determine a name for our church. The Lord has led us to name the church Kai Point Baptist. What an opportunity we have to do something great for the glory of God! Not only that, Adelyn found out she will be having a baby brother this September!

Again, God has allowed us to schedule more meetings and has miraculously provided 55% of our needed support. Continue to pray with us that the support would continue to come in and that we would get to Hawaii in God's perfect timing. 

We appreciate all of your prayers and support!

Week of April 20-26

On April 20, we drove from Glenwood, IA, to TN. We enjoyed the opportunity to see much of the beautiful country. We stopped in TN to stay with some folks that we had met during a previous mission's conference. They were amazing hosts, and we appreciated so much their willingness to let us hang out for a couple of days. 

The middle of that week we drove to Chattanooga, TN, to start a conference at Lakewood Baptist Church. What a great week it was! The pastor and church family were such sweet people. The meals and fellowship were so refreshing and encouraging. God used Dr. David Snyder, president of BIMI, to challenge our hearts during the preaching. God definitely has His hand on this ministry. It is evident they have a heart for ministry and the Lord. 

Thank you for praying. We are blessed to have you as supporters of our ministry!
