New Alternator and New Church

On the way to our meeting for tonight at Grace Baptist Church in Urbana, OH, we heard our car make a loud popping sound. We knew something must be wrong since the battery light came on and the air stopped working. We kept on going, and our car didn't stop until we had pulled into the church parking lot. Good thing we hadn't stopped before, because it was definitely dead then. Pastor Riddell called up a man in the church who worked on the car the whole church service and had it ready with a new battery and a new alternator by time to head out. What a blessing! So while our car was being worked on, Robert had the opportunity to preach and present our work, and the church voted to take us on for support. That means only 12 more churches to go. We know folks are praying, and we are feeling so overwhelmed to see God meeting our needs.

Tickets Bought!

Yesterday, we bought our plane tickets to Peru! We will be headed out from Charlotte on July 1st around lunch time, and arriving in Peru very early the next morning. We are so excited how the Lord continues to work and meet each need. We had been praying specifically for wisdom in getting a good price and getting decent flight times for Josiah. God answered both these prayers. A friend of ours, Don Tarvin, whose daughter is also a missionary in Peru, told us about a good price he got from Delta. Sure enough, it was about half of what we had been looking at with other carriers. As we were looking at different flights, several were selling out right then and there. When we went through to choose our seats, we saw that there were only a few left . Talk about good timing! That same evening, we learned of a new church that has taken us on for support. That leaves 13 more to go. Please keep praying!
