Reunions

PDF Version: Anderson_WEEKLY_170722.pdf

The past two weeks were replete with reunions for us. Verlin saw missionary friends in Benin who used to minister in Cote d'Ivoire using Community Health Evangelism (CHE). It was great to hear of their joys as they now serve in Niger, the news of multiplying CHE ministries, and how to pray for various challenges they face. At the Free Will Baptist National Association meeting in Louisville from Sunday through Wednesday, we were glad to see friends and co-laborers in our spiritual Family. At times the news was sad, but usually the interactions encouraged us because they showed progress in the Family at home and overseas. It is powerful when thousands of people sing praises together to our Father and commit to obey His plan for our lives. These are hints of our ultimate reunion when the Son comes to take us Home!

This weekend is a precious time of family reunion with our grown children and granddaughter. It will likely be the only time that we are all together before we return to Africa. Although our kids are sinners just like their parents, we are blessed by their faithful life choices. Living on separate continents is not fun, yet they fill our hearts with joy and make our path easier, not harder. We cherish our rare times together. Next week is the extended Anderson Family reunion.

Prayer and Praise:

• Pray for Cason and Suzanne who both work in the Nashville area and teach at church in two settings, Lifegroup and Awana. Chelsea, our only grandchild, is thriving in her speech development after the cochlear surgery for which you prayed. Her words are much clearer, and she now keeps us all entertained with entire sentences instead of a few words at a time!
• Cara ministers as a nurse in one of Vanderbilt's cancer centers in Franklin, Tennessee. She also stay extremely busy with members of her church, and she thanks the Lord for recently giving her a Christian lady as a housemate.
• Corbin finds his summer internship in electrical engineering challenging. It is a great place to learn. Ask the Lord to give him strength and grace to handle the increasing workload as he continues to work for this company and soon begins his senior year at Union University.
• Thankfully, this time in the States handling business, ministry, and health issues for more than 35 days pays for itself. The diminished health insurance premium expenses we have by not qualifying for an overseas tax exemption benefits us through the Affordable Care Act (for now!). The amount we save by visiting appears to save our account more than $10,000!
