Dear Praying Friends,

I hope this message finds you in good spirits and health. I am writing to you personally because your steadfast support and prayers are invaluable to my family and me. Each day, I am reminded of the strength that comes from having such dedicated friends like you standing with us.

Recently, I've been on the road to Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, Michigan, and Indiana. As you might recall, Stephanie’s condition prevents her from joining me on trips longer than three hours, so I've had to undertake these longer journeys alone. Thankfully, the churches we've visited have been wonderfully understanding and welcoming despite my solo arrival.

Our schedule remains packed, a true blessing indeed! Until our baby, Westley, arrives, we’re keeping our meetings local, which eases some travel strain. Excitingly, we are nearly fully booked for the year and are now scheduling meetings into 2025. We are amazed and thankful—God is truly guiding our path, and we are praying that we will reach our support goals as soon as possible. Praise Jesus!

Speaking of support, I am thrilled to share that, as of this letter, we have reached about 26% of our needed funding since beginning our deputation in February. The enthusiasm and commitment of our new ministry partners energize us, and we are eager to see what God has in store as we aim to further the Gospel together.

Please keep Stephanie in your prayers. She is scheduled for surgery to remove her kidney stones on May 3, 2024. We are hopeful this will not lead to early labor, but at 36.5 weeks, we are reassured that baby Westley should be well-prepared if he decides to make an early appearance. Your prayers for her surgery and well-being would mean the world to us.

Also, as we continue to travel and present our mission, we ask for your prayers that we may be a blessing to each church we visit and that our support may be secured swiftly, allowing us to return to the field fully equipped to serve.

Thank you once again for your continual prayers and support. It is profoundly comforting and encouraging to know we are upheld by such a strong community of believers. May God bless you richly as we labor together for the furtherance of the Gospel.

Unto the Furtherance of the Gospel
