Around the World and Back


We left New Zealand June 22 for a long journey to Grace Community Church’s biennial missionary conference in Greece. We enjoyed ten days of touring biblical sites of Paul and his missionary journeys. While it was physically exhausting, we were encouraged and refreshed to fellowship with some sixty other missionary families serving worldwide, many of whom we know from our earlier days at Grace Community Church. We are very grateful for that time of fellowship and affirmation of the Lord's work around the world. From there, we traveled to southern California to visit our sending church as well as family. We do apologize if we missed you on that trip. It was packed to say the least, but once again, we are very grateful to see many supporters along with some family members. Days were long and nights were short, as we were out the door in the early morning and back home late most evenings. We wanted to see as many people as we could and enjoy fellowship with as many of our supporters. On that note, our support has continued to come in. We praise the Lord that He has provided all but about $1000/month. Upon returning to New Zealand, we jumped back into our busy ministries. Greg is on track to teach an upcoming block course in Auckland, one in Hastings and will be preaching in both cities in the next month.
