Good morning / afternoon / evening or any other time you might be viewing this. I have done my best to wait until after the upcoming International Convention to update the Blog but I found I could not wait to say hello.

The Land
We, the family, were able to take a nice holiday up to our family's land in PA over Memorial Day weekend. What a refreshing time it was for all of us. To ride on 4-wheelers,
fish in the pond and stream, "spot" for deer, take a dip in the creek, build a dam
and simply marvel at God's handiwork
was a welcome reprieve from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It is good to take time to simply "be still and know that He is God" (Psa 46:10). We, especially Reese, really had a fantastic time with my parents

and all of us look forward to our next trip up there!

Celebrate
Since our last post we were also able to visit the York, PA Greater Grace church (see the link on the side of this page) which was celebrating God's Faithfulness for 10, that's right ten, years in York County Pennsylvania. There were many visitors...Pst. Renaldo (Zambia, Africa), Pst. Sam (Uganda, Africa), Pst. Schibelli, Pst Hadley, Pst. Avignone (Porto, Portugal) and more. The entire Carlisle, PA church showed up. Awesome! We heard amazing portions. One on the "Throne of God" and one titled "I alone, He alone and We Together". Both put into beautiful perspective God's faithfulness to us and to the local assembly. It was an honor to partake of God's word. There was also a great feast put on. What a wonderful spread...thanks Ms. Sue and all those that played a part in putting the meal time together. Talk about feeding the multitudes...LOL!! Pst. Duke, Debbie, Seth and Ryan...we love you. Thank you for your laid down lives and your commitment to the Call!

Convention Foreshadow
As mentioned earlier, the next event that we as a couple and as a ministry are looking towards is the Convention (http://www.ggwo.org/convention2007/). This is when the ministry gathers, as many as possible, local and international missionaries and body members to fellowship and fuel the vision for the ministry world wide. People have already started gathering here and we have a great expectation of God for the week. There are morning, afternoon and evening sessions. There are also Missions oriented booths. Some with food and others with pictures, clothing, updates etc. It is a special time for all. We'd love for you to join us if you can. Your prayers, of course, are welcomed as many details need to fall in place to pull off an event like this. Our next posting will be Convention intensive for sure. Be looking for that. Well, it has come time to sign off. Please know that we are well and are looking forward to a great summer here in MD. Oh yea...July 1st will be a full year for us. How time flies. Until next time...
Agape,
Andrew, Misty and boys
