This morning we found out that we are going to be having a baby boy! It looks like Silas is going to have a new little friend to play with and his name will be Simeon. We feel so blessed that our Father is giving us an addition to our family. We cannot wait for Simeon to get here. We want to hold him in our arms and introduce him to his big brother. Our pr@yer for him is that he will be mighty in the strength of our Father. Please continue to pr@y that Lena's pregnancy will develop smoothly. During her check up today she was told that her pulse was slightly elevated. The doctor said it was nothing to be concerned with at this point, but it is something that we will be keeping an eye on.
August was an encouraging month for us. Several doors opened for us to share the g*spel with different people. It is so interesting to talk with M*slims about our f@ith in J. It is a challenging process, but it is also joyful in that one gets to see how the truth of J shines forth in the darkness. I am continuing to develop a relationship with Caleb. Caleb told me the other day that he wants to serve our Father with all his heart. I am meeting with him on a weekly basis. Mostly, I am helping him work out the many questions he has about his f@ith. He rubs shoulders with university students on a daily basis and he has conversations with them about our Father. The questions they raise causes Caleb to struggle. I feel that the best way to help him is by teaching him about the very foundations of our f@ith. I believe that the Father has been blessing our time together.
Pr@yer Requests:
1. Pr@y that Lena's pregnancy would continue to develop smoothly and that her elevated heart rate would not develop into something serious.
2. Pr@y that Caleb would continue to be strengthened and that he would develop into a leader.
3. Pr@y for those who we come into contact with. We desperately need the power of our Father as we reach out to people.
