Fall Is Upon Us.

Where does the time go? I cannot believe it has been over a month since I posted an update. Life seems to happen and move too quickly these days. During the last week of August, we began to see a bit of color in the leaves. Soon the countryside will be covered with the colors of fall. We have already had cold enough temperatures in the night and early mornings that I am sleeping with blankets. I believe we are going to have a long cold winter.

Last Sunday, we began our kids program Anchor Adventures again. We are working hard to regain some of the kids we have lost since the program was closed down for the winter and because I was staying with my sister most of the spring. Please pray that our kids will again become faithful, and that they will get a burden to reach their friends and family with the Gospel.

We finally took out a wall which was hindering growth in our downstairs auditorium. I am praying that the empty chairs will push our members to get out and bring in people to fill them. It is sad that so many Christians allowed their practices of faithful church attendance and soulwinning to slacken because of covid. If anything there should have been an urge to tell others about Christ because of the fear of death being on everyone's minds.

My sister's baby has been doing pretty well, but weight gain has been a huge hurdle. After trying several formulas and finally finding one that seemed to work, the government control on the formula has caused her issues in being able to always get what he needs. Please pray he continues to gain weight and do well. They still haven't met about his second surgery, and my prayer is that by the time they do, his heart will have grown what he needs. God is a God of miracles, and I believe this could happen if God allows it to.

A month or so ago, my 18 year old cousin Charlotte was diagnosed with lymphoma. Please pray that her treatments work and for wisdom and strength for her and her family.

My mom's health is still the same. Please pray that her heart rate and blood pressure will even out. Pray also that her hip will heal so that she can regain strength and mobility.

Please pray for me as I look to possible heading out on a series of trips in either the spring or summer. I am waiting for answers and healing for my mom and nephew before heading out.
