Prayer Letter
March / April 2005

Dear Praying Friends,

Upon our arrival here, God laid the burden on Karen’s heart to start a new children’s class on Sunday evenings.  She runs about 18 children from the ages of Kindergarten to Sixth grade.  The kids have been excited about learning their weekly memory verses and bringing friends.  They also are doing a great job of learning the books of the Bible.  The last few lessons were about decision making and the consequences of the choices they make.  She used the stories of  Lot, Rehoboam and Solomon to show examples of how our choices effect not only us but others also.

It has been great to see Kyle and Torey growing in their faith.  Kyle is 11 and Torey is now 9.  They are going to a Christian School but the Christian Schools here often let a certain percent of unbelievers in the school.  The teachers are Christians and they teach Christian principles and values.  This has given us a great opportunity to witness.  Kyle came home last week wanting some scriptural references to give to a girl at school.  She told Kyle that her dad used to be a Christian and that she needed more proof that God existed.  He first told her that if her dad was a Christian that he could not lose his salvation.  He then said, “Isn’t the Bible enough proof for God’s existence?”  They were quickly interrupted by some other children but he was concerned for her and wanted to go back to her with more evidence.  It is so great to see a concern for people’s destiny growing in the hearts of our children.

It has been a great experience working with the Keller’s in their church.  They have been a great blessing to our family.  We would appreciate your prayers as we have started asking God for his direction for our second term.  Thank you for your faithful prayer and financial support.  May God’s hand of blessing be upon you. We love you and God bless you.

In His Service Down Under,
