Dear Prayer Warriors,

"Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God." (Philippians 1:3 NLT)


Praise:
We are praising the Lord for providing some much needed time away in the north woods of Wisconsin. The beauty and quietness refreshed us. The fishing was great, too!

Praise:
David utilized the location of his summer internship to propose to Erin Pennington on the roof of JPUSA in uptown Chicago. David surprised Erin with a family celebration. We are so thankful for the Pennington Family and their love for the Lord. We are excited about their Spring wedding!

Pray:
Jonathan started his senior year of High School on Wednesday. Thank you for praying for David during his internship. He will conclude his internship on Friday and begin his last semester of college in Greenville on Wednesday.

Praise:
We are now connected with remote computer access to the Men for Missions office in Greenwood, IN. This allows direct access to team information which we will be using to follow-up with returning short-term team members.

Pray:
We continually seek opportunities to share with churches, groups, or individuals about missions and what God is doing around the world. If we can help promote missions or short-term mission trips in your area, please let us know.

Praise:
We continue to receive great news from Colombia following our recent team to the department of Antioquia. Many new “I Am Second” groups have been formed, many prayers are being answered, and new believers are being discipled and are excited to share the Gospel with their family members and friends.

We were also excited to see that due to the currency exchange rate, that some of our team money could be used to buy bibles, chairs, and study materials for the new bible studies. We were also able to help with the need of providing a young girl with a wheelchair. Her brother had been carrying her back and forth to school each day.

We have room on the next Evangelism team to Medellin, Colombia on October 26 – November 2. You may click this link to print a brochure for more information about this opportunity. Please contact us if you are interested.

Pray:
Cindy is leading the Konstruction Kids project at our home church again this year, and will kick it off on September 4th. The kids will be challenged to raise $2000 for a copier to help orphans at the Good Shepherd’s Fold school in Uganda, Africa. The orphans have to spend hours hand copying their lessons because they can’t afford the textbooks. The copier would eliminate this time consuming task.

Blessings to You!
Doug and Cindy
