At the end of March, after our many travels through New York, we were priveleged to be able to share with one of our supporting churches near Akron, OH. Here you are seeing Tiffany and Katie posing with Pastor Perry's daughter, Trinity.
During the potluck after the service, Tiffany was presented with a special gift by one of the ladies from the church. She gave Tiffany a necklace that had been hand formed from an antique spoon, a necklace that this lady said she wanted to give to Tiffany as a gift.
Here you are seeing Pastor Perry and his family. We were very blessed to spend a weekend with them, talking about their many adventures in parenting and ministry.
Following the break over Easter where we were able to just worship at our home church in Bluffton, OH, we travelled to Roanoke, Virginia, to speak to the brothers and sisters at Emmanuel Wesleyan. What is great about this opportunity was that this was the first time that we were able to share at this church, even though they have been on our support team for three years. They took us on as missionaries, right at the end of our TEAM building phase in 2006, allowing us to begin our ministry in Cambodia. Here you are seeing Tim posing with Pastor Joe, the missions and family ministry pastor.
Pastor Joe and the ladies at the church organized something very special for Tiffany and Katie. They wanted to celebrate Katie's birth with a baby shower, focusing on raising the money that will be needed in Cambodia to buy several needed items for Katie. It was such a blessing to be a part of this celebration and to have these special people really take us in as part of the church family.
Here you are seeing the guest of honor at the baby shower, sound asleep with Connie.
Katie and Connie grew quite close to each other during the several nights that we were in Roanoke, VA, and it was a blessing, as it always is, to have people love on and care for our daughter as adopted aunts, uncles and grandparents.
During our travels to Roanoke, we made a detour to visit Tiffany's brother Joe who serves at the Marine base in North Carolina. This was the first time that we had seen Joe since he left for NC in January, and it was great to see him and show how much Katie has grown since he last saw her.
Because we were down by the ocean, we spent an afternoon walking on a beach, enjoying the sunshine and the moments together. Here you are seeing brother and sister laughing and joking together as they walked with Katie.
The Sunday following our time in Roanoke, we travelled back to Indiana where we were scheduled to share at Hartford City Wesleyan. On Saturday evening, we met with the mission committee for a dinner and fellowship. Here you are seeing Tim talking with Roger at the fellowship. We grew quite close to Roger and his family during our time at Hartford City, telling stories, talking about our kids, and sharing a wonderful afternoon together.
Here you are seeing Tiffany at the dinner table with some of the people from the church. It was a great time to have an informal time of Questions and Answers, talking about our lives in Cambodia and God's ministry through the National Church and the WBI.
Here you are seeing Pastor Tom and his wife Kara with Katie. It is always great to be reunited with friends that we met during our initial fundraising travels, hearing about how God has blessed the ministry and their own lives.
This final picture is of the youth pastor and Katie, giving a High-5 to each other as we were getting ready to leave the church after speaking at their PM missions service. It was a great missions conference, and we appreciate having this church on our ministry TEAM.
