August-September 2020
Dear praying friends,
God has graciously provided safety in our travels and has richly blessed us through the brethren. We are grateful for each and every one of you that have allowed us to be an extension of your local churches these past 10 years. We are thankful that you have partnered with us in reaching Bulgaria with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We have visited and updated 25 more churches since the last letter now totaling 36. We have 11 more churches that we desire to visit and update this furlough. Pray that we will be able to accomplish this in these uncertain times. Most churches are still not back up to normal attendance….. I suspect because of FEAR rather than FAITH! Pastors are being put in awkward positions having to make hard decisions. I believe that for some LUKEWARM Christians this whole Covid crisis, as the mainstream media calls it, is an excuse not be diligent in their Christian walk with their Lord and their responsibility to be a supporter of their local churches by their presence! Please don’t get offended if you’re guilty of this. Humble yourself before your mighty Lord and return to him while you can in this life! You are needed! There is work to be done yet! We have not heard the trumpet yet and our Lord still requires us to be FAITHFUL! We are commanded to not forsake the assembling of ourselves. It is better to obey God than man! Take courage brethren! The world still needs a faithful Christian witness… no matter if they say so or not.
We have sent off Zac’s paperwork for US citizenship. Pray with us that we can obtain this before leaving America. I needed to send our passports off for renewal…. Payment has cleared the bank…. Please pray that we will receive our renewed passports in time. We are scheduled to return to Bulgaria on November 3, 2020.
Josh is doing well, and so are the rest of us. Praise the Lord!
Please continue to pray for the church in Karnobat to be faithful to their Lord during our absence. Thank you all that are continuing to be faithful… you are an encouragement to this family! May the Lord have His good and perfect will with us!
