Dear Friends,
July 4th…Happy Birthday America! As we celebrate this 233rd founding of our country we think about the freedoms we enjoy and the privilege it is to be an American citizen. “God Bless America”
We returned to Fresno in mid April and have enjoyed seeing friends and getting reacquainted at church. There always seems to be many new faces and people we don’t know … this growth is a wonderful blessing for our church family. We love getting back and sharing about our time in Albania with everyone. “Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow”
On our agenda each Spring is a list of doctors and dentists and other appointments we need to accomplish so we can plan to return in September again. This year is no different! We’ve been busy with appointments and continue to be given good reports. We are praising God that Bob continues to be cancer-free1 Linda will be having some arthroscopic work on her left knee this month but everything else is good. "Grace Like Rain”
We are planning to return to Albania, on the 4th of September to once again be the house parents for the Torchbearers International Bible School. When we left in April there were already a few enrolled and we pray more will be led to seek out this opportunity. The school actually begins at the end of Sept but by going early we can attend the annual conference for foreign missionaries held in Durres, which is on the Adriatic coast. Here we can once again meet people from all over the world who are serving Christ in Albania. “In Christ There Is No East or West”
Summer camps are just beginning in Erseke and all the indications are that this will once again be a very busy summer both at the camp in town and the wilderness camp in the mountains. Please pray for the staff, the programs, but especially the children who will be attending. They can affect great change in the entire country as the Lord touches these little ones. “It Only Takes A Spark to Get a Fire Going…Pass It On”
Blessings & Love,
Bob & Linda
