Psalm 100
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
And his courts with praise;
Give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
His faithfulness continues through all generations

Dear Friends ~
What powerful words these are and they express our hearts joy as the Lord has healed Bob of lung cancer, restored his knee to full use and given Linda good sight once again. Thus, this year of remaining in Fresno has proven to be a good thing and now we can once again return to Albania and the Torchbearers Bible School in Erseke as houseparents. God’s call to us didn’t change over the past year and in fact we feel very strongly that His call remains the same to us…”Go, Serve, Love in my name” the students, visiting teachers, staff, missionary families and the townspeople of Erseke.
Our plans are to arrive in Albania in early September in time to help get the school set up for the student’s arrival on the 26th. We’ll also need to settle into our apartment and meet with the staff team. Following the orientation weekend, classes begin on
the 29th.
We value your prayers for our preparations and travel, for the students seeking what God has for them at the Bible School, and for Eric Gundy as he serves as Interim Principal as well as the entire staff of the school. We will have some one time expenses for travel estimated at $4,000. For the seven months of living expenses (September to April) we are budgeting $2,000/month, $14,000 for the school year. Your support and love enables us to serve the Lord in this way… at this time… in this place.
We are so thankful for God’s abundant mercy and grace and we are grateful for each of you; for your prayers, your financial support and your encouraging love. We are called by God to go, we are sent by you, our partners in faith.
Blessings & Love,
Bob & Linda
