Greetings Team Members:
|
How are you doing today? I hope and pray that it is better than
I….because I am not feeling so good. Since Friday I started to
come down with a “heat rash” or something like that. What it
consists of…burning and itching, on my hands, feet, and chest.
It seems to be growing no matter how much medicine and “staying
cool” I am doing. Therefore, if you understand my schedule and
things that I need to accomplish in the next few months – you
might guess that I don’t have “time” for this. |

This week I am to work 10 hour days in Madison, Tuesday thru
Friday, then meetings and sermon prep on Saturday, preaching on
Sunday – and starting it all over again next week. July 24th, I am
speaking at Liberty Ridge Church (Lancaster), July 31st, at Rewey
Methodist and Lima Union Congregational Church (Platteville), and
August 7th at Cornerstone Foursquare (Prairie Du Chien), and August
14th, Hidden Valley Community Church (Dodgeville) – and then a week
trip to Tulsa with Pastor Charles Sagay (my African Pastor and
friend from Cameroon).
Also, I broke my one root canal tooth (that I was going to get
crowned in July) – therefore, my expense for fixing that (which was
going to be $600, is more like $2,600 plus) – So – I defiantly
attacked in the spiritual and physical and well, even financial
realm at this point. Don’t worry, I am trying to work more
construction to pay for the tooth – I don’t use mission’s money for
that – but, I would have appreciated more personal saving before I
go to Ukraine, etc. Actually, that tooth with the added healing time
– and the time I need to pay for it – has “delayed” my trip a
little.
Now I am planning to move to Kiev, Ukraine – no later than
Mid-October. I would like to leave by October 18th. Please pray for
me – and this date to come to pass. I don’t want to get there in the
“dead of winter” and try to find an apartment and all of that.
Please – pray for the up coming church meetings as well – it is
getting down the wire and I need at least $600 more in monthly
support.
Please – pray for my healing and for the finances to pay for my
tooth, and other things that I need to set up before I leave (like
pre-paying insurance on my trailer, etc)
I appreciate you so much and for your prayers.
Well, I send you my love and pray that the Love of Christ burst
forth from your heart to those around you…that you influence and
help every day.
I need your prayers more than ever…so please don’t forget that!
(My desperation pleaJ)
Blessings,
