Orientation and a Baby

Late week I went to Guatemala for a retreat and orientation hosted by the Foundation. While there I got to spend some quality time with my favorite, and only, nephew Russell Lee Jr., who I had just meet two days before.



This little guy was such a trooper during our 10 hour drive to the retreat. Sleeping the whole way there! We thank God for our newest family member and pray that he will grow up strong in the Lord. 

Oh... and by the why I have now been orientated! ;)

November's Prayer Letter (2014)

I just sent out my very first prayer letter, and now I'm posting it here for those of you who have not yet signed up for it.

Ministry prayer requests:
1) I've already started planning next year’s MK (missionary kid) Camp, and in the next few weeks I’m going to be deciding on the dates. Please pray that things will work together without complications and that everything needed, staff, funds, kids, etc, will be provided. 

2) One of my biggest needs at the moment is funding. I really want to get out there and start doing stuff, but without funds my work here has to remain very limited. Please pray that the funds will show up when needed and that I will continue to trust in God as I wait, knowing that He has perfect timing for everything.  

3) Brandy and I have been looking for a new apartment. Our personal and ministries needs are not being met in our current place due to the lack of space. It is mostly because of the smallness of our apartment that we haven’t started the military outreach. Please pray with us as we look for a place that will suit our needs and price range.

Personal prayer requests:
1) Lately Brandy has been working, on average, 15 hours a day, and he is becoming very worn out and needs a change of jobs in the Air Force. Generally the military moves it’s people around at the beginning of each year. So we are praying that they will transfer him to a different position/job within the next few months. 

2) My family has been trying to process our permanent residency for over 6 months now. Please pray that all of the difficulties we have come across will be removed as soon as possible.  

Thank you again and again for all of your prayers and support! It’s encouraging to know that you are praying for us and what we are doing here in Honduras, and we really appreciate it.
