April 2012 Report
Preaching Opportunities
April 15, 2012: Broadmoor Church of Christ, Nashville, FL. The church at Broadmoor allowed me to come speak to them about our move to South Africa. I also preached on, "Does it matter what we believe?". We enjoyed our visit with these good brethren. The congregation is very zealous in evangelism and we were very encouraged in our visit with them.
Plans
We have decided to move August 20, 2012. We believe this gives us adequate time to tend to my mother and her needs as well as complete the tasks we need to complete. This should also give us time to get somewhat settled before the Beckleys come to visit the States in November.
...And Yet More Personal Tragedy
I am writing this email from northern Virginia where Debbie's sister lives. Her brother-in-law, Tom Pitts, died this past Tuesday (April 24, 2012) as the result of a car accident. He leaves his wife and seven children ages 15 and under. Please pray for their family as they deal with the effects of this loss.
Support Situation
Our support situation is where it was last time. We are at $5100/month and at $37,200 in one-time support. We are still seeking to get to $7000/month in regular support. On the one-time support front, we will continue to accept one-time support to cover expenses plus any shortfalls in monthly support. Please keep us in your prayers. As we get closer to the move date, we will start to provide information on how to send contributions.
