Dear Prayer Warriors, August 2019 update
Happy to be ‘home’ in Arizona, although it is the middle of “monsoon” season which brings humidity, dust storms, wind, high temps and rain. Love it!
We arrived in Chandler July 2 and found a very nice RV spot for the next six months. We both have routine doctor apppointments to catch up on. Praise the Lord for good health during our travels.
One of the many blessings we received was promises of prayer for more laborers in the Native American fields. The opportunity to speak in S S classes and worship services made this possible. We were priviledged to visit in several of our supporting churches as well as churches we’ve been familiar with over the years.
Two of our grandchildren will be getting married within a year. Micah will be married in November to Rachael Holder from the U P of MI. We were happy to meet her in Fargo, ND where Micah is in college. Next July Brenna will be marrying Drew Turner from Birmingham AL area. Both will be graduating from PCC. They will be married here in Mesa. That will make a total of five ‘grands’ married.
Praises:
Good to be in our IBIMI churches for services and to be of assistance when needed
Safety in almost 14,000 miles of travel (coast to coast and border to border)
Encouragement from supporting churches and individuals
Many opportunities to tell of the need there is for dedicated workers in the Indian fields
The Lord’s continued blessings
Requests:
Opportunities to explain the need for the Gospel message to be preached on reservations.
Pray with us for the Lord’s direction in whatever He chooses for us in the future. We are aware we won’t be able to travel as we do now for any great length of time. We are planning through January 2020 – July 2020 if the Lord would lead.
IBIMI annual retreat Aug. 1-3 in Albuquerque. Plan to do survey work on NM reservations near Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
In His love and ours,
Dave and Becky DeFord
