June 2008
Dear Friends and Family,
“Blessed be the LORD, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah,” Psalm 68:19. The Lord is good, and I am thankful to Him for the travel mercies He has granted as I travel down the east coast for the second time this spring. Amidst the snakes slithering, the deer sprinting, and the people running in front of or behind my car, the Lord has continued to keep me safe. Once while driving to a church meeting, my eye suddenly caught a deer beside my car. Thankfully, she crossed the interstate behind my car instead of in front of me.
This month has been quite busy as I proceed with deputation, contacting new pastors and churches and trying to line up new meetings. I was able to visit three churches in upstate NY and share my presentation at each of them. It was a blessing to meet with the church family at Calvary Baptist Church in Albany and at Grace Bible Church in Cohoes. It is always encouraging to meet with friends I have known for several years, some of whom were former piano students of mine. One of my former students is a young lady who is a music major studying at Bob Jones University. My meeting at Harvest Fields Baptist Church in Queensbury was a special blessing. It is exciting to see a new church grow and become established in the area.
The Lord kept me safe as I dodged Washington DC traffic on I-495 and I-95 South on my way down to Bethel Baptist Church in Hampton, VA. It was a blessing to share my testimony and presentation there as well. I enjoyed spending some time with friends who are also on deputation.
My travels took me to Wilmington, NC, over the weekend of Sunday, June 1. I spent some time with friends and also had the opportunity to share in Peace Baptist Church. I joined the church visitation outreach on Saturday and had the opportunity to share the gospel with a lady named Marilyn. Please pray that she will truly understand God’s way of salvation and will attend church.
The GFA conference at the WILDS in NC (June 2-7) was a time of encouragement and blessing. I enjoyed being with other missionaries throughout the week.
Please pray for the following requests:
1. Safety as I drive long distances alone.
2. Wisdom as I contact new churches for meetings. Please pray that the Lord will lead me to the ministries that He wants me to go to.
3. Financial support. My support level is currently at 9%.
4. Opportunities to witness
5. Salvation: Leah, Sarah, Marilou, Christina, Mrs. Loyola, Catherina Bona, Marilyn
6. Spiritual growth/Church attendance: Angelita Hipolito, Marilyn Dayao
7. That the Lord will guide a young lady I spoke with while in Greenville. She is interested in teaching piano at BJMBC while I am traveling on deputation.
My deputation schedule is as follows:
June 15-20 Calvary Baptist Church, Loganville, GA. (VBS)
July 27 AM Open Bible Baptist Church, Cobleskill, NY
July 27 PM Emmanuel Bible Church, Mohawk, NY
Thank you so much for your faithful prayers and support. May God bless you as you serve Him.
