"The Mic must have been turned off!"

Please forgive the radio silence! I try to make a post or 3 per month, but I noticed that I haven't posted in a few week! I'm starting to realize how busy this summer will be. I have been making hotel reservations, arranging transportation and activities, figuring out advertisement options, not to mention the regular church work. In reality, I have had a lot of fun and I know that the potential for the Lord's work here is well worth any work on this side. We will be receiving 6 AIMers (www.aimsunset.org for more info) within a couple of weeks. Chris will be their coordinator and he has a lot of good plans to help them adjust to the culture, work and in general, prepare them for the task ahead of them. At the end of May, we will be receiving two young men from the "Let's Start Talking" program (www.lst.org for more info). As I have mentioned before, we will also be receiving a group of 20ish in late June from Shawnee, Oklahoma. Then Sunset in Lubbock, Tx. will be bringing a group of nearly 40. It's exciting to have reservations made, see schedules coming together and see the very beginning of good things to come.

I would ask you to remember us in your prayers. We have come under attack by Satan on various levels. We spoke with a family yesterday that has decided to leave the church. We have prayed and studied with them, but there is some much baggage. I'm reminded of Matt 13:7 "Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants." God has good things in store for Leon Sur, but we also know Satan is at work! Please continue to offer up our family and this work before the Lord as we prepare for the summer's activities and plant the seed for His glory! Pray for good soil and for us as the workers to be ready for the harvest.

Specific prayer request:

• Praise God for answered prayer request and His tremendous grace He so freely pours on us!
• AIMers - support, arrival, transition into the work
• Church - unity, leadership, strength of commitment, up coming changes and summer activities
• Groups coming - travel, health, protection in general and God's glory
• Team - Tana's health and safe delivery of Maicah, our kids, unity, support
• Studies - open hearts, souls won for Jesus
• Our family - personal growth, people we come in contact with, health, strength, our children, rest barb and KC, support
• My mother's knee surgery
