Dear Friends in Christ,<\/p>\n
Our great grandson, Peter Chick was born last month and we asked prayer for him.\u00a0 Thank you!\u00a0 2 weeks after his birth, he was finally released from the hospital and is doing well.\u00a0 We are now praying that he will accept Christ early in his life so that his life will bring glory to\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 God.\u00a0 He may be young-but when is it too early to pray for them spiritually?<\/p>\n
Sam safely made his trip to Alaska this month and is now home in Arizona.\u00a0 He was able to talk with 3 different local contractors, asking and answering questions so that they all were clear on what was desired.\u00a0 He left his plans with them to look at and get back to him with a\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 bid. This will be for the exterior construction, leaving the interior work for future work teams providing volunteer labor.\u00a0 Pray with us for some fair and reasonable prices and wisdom as to who should do the work for us.<\/p>\n
Almost every week-end we are ministering in different churches, filling the pulpits in churches without a pastor or for pastors that have to be away for the week-end.\u00a0 Please pray with us with all the travel.\u00a0 Our calendar is already filled for the month of Sept., as well as a week\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 of meetings in Oct.\u00a0 We are also scheduled this coming week-end, to help celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary at Inscription House, on the Navajo Reservation.\u00a0 Sam has been asked to officiate as this couple renews their wedding vows.<\/p>\n
Last month was so busy that Janet wasn\u2019t able to visit in the local nursing home with some of our Navajo ladies.\u00a0 They started this visiting to encourage an elderly Christian lady from the church in Tuba City, who now resides there.\u00a0 At this time, we have 3 ladies that we visit;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 all Believers.\u00a0 We read Scripture, pray and sing hymns together, as well as just listening to them and showing them love as Christian sisters.\u00a0 A Navajo lady, Helen, speaks the language, so joins Janet to help overcome the language barrier.\u00a0 This ministry is no sacrifice but a real joy as\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 we receive their love in return.\u00a0 After such a long time between visits, the smile of recognition and joy when we were spotted warmed our hearts.<\/p>\n
With fall just around the corner and schools starting, Janet\u2019s piano students are starting to return to their piano.\u00a0 Summer activities, VBS, Camps, vacations\u2026 made some of them a bit sporadic in showing up for lessons.\u00a0 We are praying for some future pianists for the many\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Navajo churches with no one to play for their services.\u00a0 What a difference it makes to have someone playing a piano to help the congregation stay together and on the same key.<\/p>\n
Thank you for your prayers, as well as your gifts!<\/p>\n
II Cor. 2:11 \u201cYe also helping together by prayer for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
In Christ,<\/p>\n
