AUGUST 2008

And just like that, here we are... at the end of the summer. In fact, as I write about what we did in August, I have to also mention that Ian, Leah, and Kara all started school today! Crazy!

Kara walking to school with Sierra & Karina

Ian & Leah... just another first day of school for them (ho-hum)

Becky with Mikayla (she just wanted to wear a back pack like everybody else)

So, what else... where were we? Right - August. Christi and I went to the Missions Conference in Austria and had an absolutely amazing time. While there, we were able to spend some time in the Word of God, spend some time with some friends that we've known for 10 or 15 years, and meet some new ones. Also, we were able to see an answer to years of prayer right before our eyes. Salzburg. We were able to meet the Ibbotson family who had just earlier in August moved to Salzburg to seek to establish a Calvary Chapel there (check out their link to the right). God is soooo good!

And... oh by the way, Leah turned seven this month! SEVEN!

SEVEN!!!!

7!!!!

Really, what's the point of turning seven if you can't celebrate at the zoo?

Kara & a Budapestian (OK, I made that word up...) giraffe

Thanks for praying for us this summer. The AVFL program (A Vision for Life) was truly amazing. The conference season was great, and the Bible college starts up this weekend.

Please pray for the upcoming semester - Jeremy will be teaching the book of Joshua as well as the Pastoral Epistles.
Pray also for Christi - she'll be helping out with the kids' school for this semester
Pray also for Jeremy as he heads out to Ireland the 10th to the 14th of September. Pray for wisdom and clarity! And for God's guidance as we seek Him for what our part is in reaching out to the people of Ireland.
Please pray for the situation with Jurica... still no news. Any news would be welcomed at this point.

Pray for Ivan & Michelle Ibbotson as they get started reaching out to the people of Salzburg!

Praise God for all His goodness to us!

Thanks for all of your love and support!

Jeremy, Christi, Ian, Leah, Kara, and Mikayla
