May 15, Praise, Prayer and Schedule

Dear Friends,

Thanks to everyone who sent me birthday cards, either by mail or email. I received about 90 cards and I enjoyed reading each one and remembering all the wonderful friends that God has given me. My family did a great job of giving me a party on Saturday and then we also celebrated on Monday, which was my real birthday. I truly don’t feel like a 70 year old but then I'm not sure what that should feel like! This month has been a light travel month but we will get going again next week.

PRAISE

Amy and I will celebrate 48 years of marriage on our anniversary, June 3.

We are truly thankful for God’s provision of safety in all our travels.

We praise the Lord for His strength both physically and spiritually in our ministry.

We are greatly encouraged by the responses of churches to the workshops.

Praise the Lord that we have received almost $9,000 toward paying off our van and we now owe about $7,000.

We will be driving to Michigan for our grandson, Ryan's, graduation from high school on May 24.

Our grandson, Eric, is home for the summer to work and to do an internship at our church.

Our grandson, Kyle, got a job at the airport in Flint, MI

Our granddaughter, Aimee's, business in Chicago is doing very well.

PRAYER

Pray for the Smith Family Reunion at Lambert, TN, June 1-3.

Pray with us for the many opportunities we have to preach and teach in the next few months.

Pray that the information in the workshops will continue to challenge and help churches.

Pray for the Lord’s provision of the rest of the funds to pay off the van.

Pray for a healthy pregnancy for Jana.

Pray for our granddaughter, Cara, as she finishes her class in Korean and takes exams this weekend, then flies home on the 29th.
