Taste and See (Psalm 34:8)

Verlin and his mom

We learned the value of Microsoft’s “Quick Assist” as Verlin completed the installation and preparation of his mother’s new computer. A gifted ministry partner, who now helps Elsie get out our written quarterly reports when we are overseas, showed us how it works. In case you do not know, Microsoft’s Quick Assist Windows feature allows one computer to view or take control of another computer, using a passcode and several permission steps to solve problems remotely. So Verlin, or our friend, can access her computer with her permission to see whatever problem she may face and work to correct it. The user or helper can cancel the connection between the computers with one click. It is amazing technology when you have trusted helpers!

Debbie mused about the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives as she watched Verlin and our friend open files and make changes on Elsie’s computer screen from their computers. Great trust is required to give another that kind of access and control. Similarly, the Holy Spirit does not force His way into our hearts and minds without our permission and cooperation. It’s an incredible joy and relief to invite Him to daily correct our faulty programming and help us make the best choices! Conversely, what damaging viruses and sins take root when we do not give Him free rein!

Come and See (Psalm 66:5)

Visiting family and friends in Michigan seemed to pass too quickly! The essentials were done. We were blessed to meet or visit with nine ministry partners, in addition to the essential family interaction and planning. It appears that Verlin is on target to leave the States in mid-May. We learned that he will not need a visa to attend a regional meeting in Senegal, as his visit will be less than 90 days. Secondly, since coordination among all concerned regarding a pending meeting was difficult, we did not receive a useful invitation letter in time for him to leave a StarLink Internet antenna in Ghana. We will handle obtaining the visa in Côte d’Ivoire when it is useful for other purposes. We prefer getting Ghana visas from an American consulate. Usually, they issue us 5-year visas more easily than 1- or 3-year visas, which the embassy grants in Côte d’Ivoire. The visas work the same, but we were trying to get 5 years instead of 3 for less money.

Prayer & Praise

• 🙏 Thank the Lord for good ministry and family visits in Michigan. As this update posts on Saturday, we travel to Elizabethtown, Tennessee, setting up visits as we travel. Verlin is scheduled to share and preach on Sunday. We intend to visit other ministry partners and friends along the way to Cookeville.
   
• 🙏 Pray for us to find the best price possible this week for Verlin’s airline ticket back to West Africa.
   
• 🙏 Ask the Lord to guide the CHE university team as they spend hundreds of hours preparing to host the CHE training sessions again in September. A new director heads the effort.
