Our time in the US has been richly rewarding. Since September 3rd, we have traveled 11,000 or more miles; visited 18 states; changed beds 38 times; traveled in 18 states; crossed state lines 32 times; shared to groups about ministry in Ambon 24 times (3 more to go in Georgia). We saw many beautiful places (including several National Parks); and met hundreds of lovely people.
We have been praying for folk to join the work in Ambon. Several have asked about that, but no solid commitments have been made to this point.
Over the almost two months we have been stateside, the total given toward the Sizemore Center has reached $54,432. The next $8,568 will complete the payment for the purchase of the lot upon which the center will be built.
Traveling constantly has made it hard for us to keep up with things in Ambon, but we gather they are going along well. We are still concerned for the health of Reni one of our teachers who has had severe back pains for several months.
We will speak in Newnan, Carrollton and Jefferson, Georgia between now and November 6th. On the 8th, we will begin the journey back to Ambon.
Thank you for your prayers and partnership which sustains us! We are blessed to have you on our team.
