Another Great Sunday

This Sunday we were at St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Temperance, Michigan - Matt's parents' church. We had the opportunity to speak in the fellowship hall between services and shared over 100 pictures and some of our favorite stories.

This congregation has been so supportive of our mission with gifts of over-the-counter medicines and cash, so it was a great opportunity to thank them and show some pictures of where their donations have gone.

We got some news from the Fickers this week about their plane. Apparently, the estimate for repair is in the $50,000 neighborhood. We know that God didn't send this plane down just to take it away, so we are sure He'll help us find the money. We also know that He's going to come through in a really neat and wonderful fashion and we can't wait to see it!

Yesterday, we had the chance to go hang out with Matt's Uncle John, Aunt Sue, cousins Denise and JoAnn and their families, as well as Matt's paternal grandparents. Today, we had all four grandparents down, as well as Uncle Dave and Aunt Carol and family friend, Rosemary. This time of year is a great time to spend with family and we've been very blessed to see much of Matt's family so far!

The pictures below are to remind you about the Fickers' plane. The first two are the plane in its original condition in their hangar. The second two are after the crash. Please join us in thanking God for the safety of Duane, Aaron, and Joe, who were in the plane when it had its accident. Also please join us in praying for the resources to help repair this plane and get it back flying again - and bringing medical supplies and the Gospel to the people in the Ixcan area.
