Praise: We have received a large one-time gift and a church and an individual have joined our team, giving regularly to our ministry! This is an incredible answerto prayer as God continues to provide for us.
Praise: Bret will have another co-worker joining the ministry here at JAARS as soon as he and his family complete their partnership development. This is a tremendous help, allowing Bret to focus on administrative tasks, oversee the various ministries here at JAARS, and develop better MK care world-wide. Pray for prayer and financial partners for this family!
Bret's co-worker, Mike, is working on the logistics for the summer missions trip. Pray for plans to be solidified in the coming weeks. (Bret will again not be going on the summer trip. He has been selected to attend the Wycliffe USA delegate conference in June. This is an amazing opportunity for him to cast a greater vision for care of our missionary families.)
In 3 weeks, we will be having the 3rd annual Talent Show here at the JAARS center. This event has been a fabulous way to create community and encourage the young and old to spend time together. Pray we once again have "standing room only" and that it would a God-honoring evening.
Birthdays: Bryce just turned FIVE (he was a baby when we came here!) and in February Lydia turns seven and Josiah turns one! It's all going by so fast that we feel like they'll be taking their SAT's next week. :) Continue to pray for our children, that they would earnestly follow God and for us as we seek to raise them in a way that pleases the Lord.
