Prayer Letter Summer 06

For my hundreds of many faithful readers, I owe you an apology for the lack of info on the blog this last month.

It’s true. I had to hold off on blogging for a month because the amount of work and priorities here on the field consumed me. I like what George Muller wrote and I’ve been chewing on this thought for a couple weeks now: “The Christian servant can be easily distracted by the work of the ministry for God while forgetting to commune with Him.” It’s happened to all pastors. It happened to Muller - that’s why he wrote it!

What’s Up?

Sandy, Reilly, & Jessi headed back to the States on June 14th. I’ve been here in Italy as the inelligible bachelor for a month now. I’ll return to the States on the 12th of July to begin visiting a third of our supporting churches. So, we’ll be hitting the trails from Arizona to California to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, & Nevada — all in 5 weeks. I could run for President with that kind of schedule.

Brother Andrew Maxwell (see the post Flight of the Apprentice) has returned to Italy for his 4th consecutive summer with us. Andrew keeps me company and I keep him working.

Last Sunday we had a beautiful baptism down at the river Livenza. The water is always around 43 degrees. We baptized 6 people. I’ll have some more pictures of that for you soon.
