June - July 2001

Dear Pastor and Praying Friends,
 Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  We have looked forward to writing this letter for a long time.  It is our privilege to announce that we will be leaving for Spain on September 4.  We will be leaving Atlanta at 11:00 am and arriving in Sevilla the morning of the 5th.  The Lord is greatly to be praised!!  Also, we want you to know that we could not have done this without you and all the prayers that you have made on our behalf.  Our dear Lord has been so wonderful to us.

 These last two months have been amazing. We are currently at 91% of our needed support with promises of more to come in.  We know that the Lord will bring in the rest.  We are very excited and anxious about moving to Spain and beginning the work that the Lord has for us there.  We ask that you help us pray about finding an apartment to live in.  As of yet, we haven't been able to locate one, but we know that it will only be a matter of time.  There is no doubt in our mind that the Lord will do a great work in Sevilla.  What a tremendous honor and responsibility He has entrusted us with.

 Once we arrive in Sevilla we will begin language school as soon as possible.  Patsy and I both covet your prayers that the Lord will allow us to apprehend Castillian Spanish quickly and that our boys will not be overwhelmed by all this transition.  We hope that what little we already know will help us in doing so.  There are various opportunities to reach the international students of the various colleges/universities in Sevilla.  We are planning to begin Bible studies as soon as we can to reach them.  We look at it as God bringing these precious souls to us so we can present them with the Gospel.

 We are grateful that God has allowed us to complete our deputation.  You have been very generous in allowing us to come and present our ministry before you.  It has truly been a blessing to see so many Christians that are faithful in the Lord's work.  Please remain faithful to Christ and do all you can for Him until He returns.  God bless you all.
