I am so sorry it has been such a long time!!! In the past couple months I should have had a lot more tome to keep you all up to date, I just let distractions come first and for that I apologize. Sorry! But now that I am done apologizing, the last little while has been awesome! God is good! The last couple months have been what we call the off-semester. In this time we have not been doing sunday school, but we have still been visiting our kids once a week. During the off-semester we have been keeping very busy with work around the center and all the odds and ends that we do not have time for in the semester. A lot of the guys have been doing demolition and renovations in the center. The center is a big old hospital building that Metro Ministries bought a few years back and is now renovating into staff housing and offices and hopefully will be able to be used for almost all areas of the minisry. But it is still very far from that. A lot of people have been taking care of computer and paper work for the 'Won by One' child sponsorship program. Catching up from the semester. And of course a lot of the leaders have been writing the new lessons for the upcoming semester. Which starts in three days!! This tuesday we are all back on the sidewalk making noise again. At the beginning of this week all the new interns were put in their divisions and this week has been busy getting everything ready. Please pray for us in this time! It is a particularly stressful time for everyone. Pray for patience and peace as we get ready for sunday school again. Pray for avery one who we will minister to this coming semester, that God would guide us in everything and that nothing we do would be for our own gain. Let God give us the hearts of servants that our people would see Him in us. Let God fill us with His perfect love that casts out fear ad let it show to every person we come into contact with. Pray that God would glorify Himself by our work. He is so great and good that bringing Him glory is the best thing we as people can do. Doing His work is an honor we do not deserve. Pray all this for me as I pray it for you. Thank you so much for all the support, and especially those who are keeping me in your prayers or offering financial support. God is with us. Awesome!!!
