It woke me up! Last night a nearly full moon was shining through the window directly into my eyes. It wasn’t intrusive, but rather brought a warm feeling of longing and accomplishment to my heart. You see, the moon has a deep meaning to me. It is my connect to the larger world.

When I am away on a missions trip, I tell my wife and grandkids to look for the moon and when they see it to remember me. Also when I see it (usually 12 hours before them) I will be thinking of them!

The moon’s persistent brightness last night made sleeping impossible, so I began to think of and pray for the many people around the world who I have had the privilege of meeting over the years:
Liz in Venezuela, Jamila is Morocco, Camellia in Germany, Fon in Thailand and the list went on: Comoros, Kenya, Tanzania, England, India, Guadeloupe, France, Mexico, Canada, Bonaire, and Greece. How privileged I have been over the years to have had opportunities in such lands!

This summer may be for some of you your very first mission experience. I hope you like me will begin to realize the privilege it is to begin to develop friendships around the world. The opportunity you will have to tell those new friends about Jesus Christ, the opportunity for you to grow in faith and vision.

There will be a full moon this week! IF you find it shining in your window, don’t close the shades, but take those waking moments to ask God to richly use you this summer!

Dear Friends,

Wow, spring has sprung and life will start getting a little crazy for all of us. We are looking forward to all the Lord will do this spring and summer through those on up coming work teams.

Chris has made several trips up to Holmes, NY this past month. Many have answered the pleas for help and worked hard at getting the parsonage ready for sale. The goal is to put the house on the market by this summer. Chris will be going up to NY again next week for a couple of days. Pray that they will be able to finish up the work.

On April 23 Chris will be boarding a plane for Serbia. There will be 7 on the team, 5 from Grace BFC, Reading and two from North Carolina. Pray that they will be able to get a lot finished up. The Dedication for the Church is set for June. Pray that they will have a good flight, the luggage will get there with them and that they will have safety as they work. The team returns on May 6th.

Lesa and Barry Miller will be arriving here the beginning of May, we are all excited about their visit. They will be staying with us the beginning of May and then going up to Maine. They will be returning PA in time for the Missions rally. We will have a full house for the month, Beckie & Lesa's mom and aunt will also be visiting. May also brings the Missions Rally on May 13th. Chris will be speaking in the afternoon and Beckie is in-charge of the 3-5th grade children's group. Pray for them as they prepare.

Thank you so much for praying.

Because of Christ,
Chris & Beckie

Jen, we are VERY VERY excited that you are part of our group!
Also welcome this week first timers: Beth, Liz, Ron, Lorann, Dan, and Sharon!

Our heavenly Father, we know of Your heart’s desire for the world to come to You through Your Son Jesus Christ.  We are about to embark on a summer of mission outreach.  We are just a group of willing teens and adults ready to go and be of assistance in spreading the Good News.  Lord some will go for the purpose of prayer, others will take tool and do physical labor, yet others will be using gifts of evangelism, teaching and even humanitarian aid.   

Lord bless our endeavors, keep us safe, may we be an encouragement to both those we serve and to each other.  Give us a passion to know You, teach us Your ways, and show us Your will.  

Thank you for those who stand beside us in prayer and for those who have sacrificially given to make our trips possible.  Change us Father, may we never be the same after seeing You at work in Your world!
