Since we have been in the States, I have had the
opportunity to teach at the Vision School of Missions. This semester I
am teaching the poetic books to the second- and third-year students.
As students are working through the three-year missions program at
Vision, the mission also helps them connect with churches in the area
so that they can serve in those churches.

“Time flies” is a saying that we use often. Visiting churches on furlough, we have heard people comment on how much time has passed between when we came by the first time presenting our work, and now visiting and giving an update. People can’t get over how much the children have grown and how big they are. Time does indeed fly.

Who are you, I asked the man as I arrived at
Faith Baptist in Pergamino. His name was Andres, and he was
new to Faith Baptist Church in Pergamino.

It has been such a blessing to visit churches in the
month of July. It is very encouraging to have people come up
to me and tell me that they pray specifically for me and my
family every day. In the month of July I have visited churches in
Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, and Tennessee,
and for the very first time I visited a church in Indiana. For many
of these churches this is the first visit we have made in 9 or 10
years.

The Construction keeps advancing with the roof in place over the area where the Sunday School class rooms and bathrooms will be. I was prepared to write about how we lacked some of the funds, but through a generous offering all the needs for the construction of Victory Baptist Church have been met! Praise God!
