At the end of February, we shared at a historic church for us; the first church where we ever shared as “official” Wesleyan Missionaries, New Life Wesleyan Church in Cleveland, OH. That church has stood behind us, supporting us and praying for us over the past years, and we feel lucky to have them on our TEAM of supporters. Here you are seeing Tiffany posing with Jim and Rosalea, two of our prayer warriors who told us that they pray for us each night during their evening devotions. That is a testimony that warms our hearts and gives power to the mission.
Here you are seeing Shelly posing with Little Katie. When we first came to New Life Wesleyan, we stayed with Shelly and her family. It was great to see her family again, remember how “green” we were when we first came to their church and relating the many lessons and ministry experiences that we had while we were in Cambodia.
Several weeks later, we were part of the mission conference at Athens Wesleyan Church in Pennsylvania. The first event of the conference was a family night, full of games, food and times for the congregation to meet the missionaries. Here you are seeing Tiffany, Heather ( a missionary to the Karis people) and one of the emcees for the evening talking after the program.
As said before, the night was filled with fun and games. Here you are seeing Tim and several other men working to eat stacks of Saltine crackers. As you might know, a mouthful of Saltine crackers can really clog up your mouth, and the winner was the person who could first whistle a tune after eating their stack of crackers. It was a difficult task, but Tim was able to come in close second.
During the conference, we were able to share 3 different times to different groups from the church, walking them through our experiences in Cambodia with language and culture learning, but also sharing the story of God’s great work at the Wesleyan Bible Institute and the National Church of Cambodia. Here you see Tim and Tiffany sharing with one of the groups.
The conference was also a great time to meet new friends, continuing to build our TEAM of supporters and prayer warriors, and sharing in the beautiful nature of the Body of Christ.
This picture was taken at the Saturday morning Ladies’ Brunch where Tiffany was asked to share about the culture and ministry in Cambodia. An expected trend has begun in our travels. People are very glad to see us, but we are only the sideshow when it comes to their desire to meet Little Katie. We feel privileged to have so many people praying for her, even from her conception, and the lady pictured here has been one of those prayer warriors and was so happy to be able to meet and hold Katie during the brunch.
Here you are seeing a picture of the three missionary ladies who shared at the brunch. Heather (Karis People), Tiffany, and Robin (Haiti).
Along the course of our travels throughout New York and Pennsylvania, we had the opportunity to meet with friends and supporters that we have not met with in several years. Here you are seeing Pastor Bill Jones and his family, friends of ours from Ohio who are now pastoring a church in Scranton, PA. It was so great to see their new ministry there and to be able to spend time with these old friends, hearing about how God is blessing their lives and their ministry.
Of course, because it is us, we have to include several pictures of Katie for all of you to enjoy. Katie, more than most other children her age, has been a traveler, always moving to a new place and meeting new people. During her travels, she is forced to spend a great amount of time in her car seat, so we have a little friend who hangs in front of her when we drive. Her little friend is a tiny stuffed tiger who makes a jingling sound when she smacks him, which is one of Katie’s favorite pastimes. Here you are seeing Katie performing her own rendition of the classic nursery rhyme, “einey meeny miney mo, catch a tiger by the… tail?” Well, it works for her anyway.
She is growing each and every day, becoming more aware of her surroundings, getting ready to roll over, and making each and every person she meets “ooh and ahh” over her. Here you are seeing Katie being weighed in when she was 11 weeks old, tipping the scale at 11 lbs. 3 oz.
She is a joy to each and every person that she meets, including our adopted parents in Fishers, IN Greg and Cathy. We had to come down for a meeting at GP, and we were able to spend an evening with these two, and they were able to spend time with Katie, whom they had not seen since she was just 3 weeks old.
