Come and See (Psalm 34:8)

Learning to ride a bike!

New faces and new friends consistently bless us. After Verlin left Debbie at the airport for travel, he took Chelsea to McDonald’s®. While waiting for their order, he struck up a conversation with a couple and an employee of like age whose mutual frustration with the electronic ordering system created camaraderie. The couple completed their order and then sat nearby to behold an entertaining dynamic between Grandpa and grand-girl. The new friends watched the lively give-and-take during conversations that touched on personal hygiene, keeping spaces clean for others, eating to evade disease, and ways to exercise politeness. Touched by the dynamic, the new couple of acquaintances donated two Wet Wipes® packets to add to the instruction. The employee, also a believer, shared on our departure that she took encouragement in seeing a missionary witness here.

Next week, we hope to hear that the brother who watches our home and dogs during absences from Cote d’Ivoire added a third child to his nuclear family and kept his wife. After two boys, they anticipate a daughter. We look to meet that new face in mid-August. We know from witnessing ourselves that each child increases his family’s testimony of God’s goodness.

There is yet other good news from an Ivorian pastor using CHE in Cote d’Ivoire that Verlin visited in April. Again, he encounters new faces, having recently begun ministry in a new village. The location represents a fourth added to three others where worship of the King of Kings has been established. Progress in his region always adds to our joy since much of the population adheres to another major religion. Pray he again establishes significant inroads using new acquaintances and friendships in the village while doing an initial CHE seed project by building latrines in collaboration.

Come and See (Psalm 66:5)

Debbie looks forward to getting to know many new faces in Texas this week. She assists our mission, the Christian Health Service Corps (CHSC), during ten days of new missionary orientation. In addition, it will be a privilege to team-teach missionary kids in elementary and middle school as their parents receive preparatory training for the field.

Verlin hopes to correct and complete some lesson completion and assignment for September while affirming that all invitations have been received. It may not sound like much, but the sounds can deceive. One invitation is extended to the pastor mentioned above who establishes his eighth preaching point or area of Discovery Bible Studies expected to become a church. He was once a new face we blessed by example that he replicates today.

Prayer & Praise

• 🙏 Pray for R., the Ivoirian CHE pastor, making efforts to penetrate a new village with the Gospel. Ask for open hearts, removal of spiritual strongholds, and much fruit for his labor.

• 🙏 Lift up the orientation of new CHSC missionaries. Pray for Debbie and Jody to have exceptional energy and wisdom as they minister to the children.
