Pressing On!

Recently, the Lord has blessed us by allowing us to speak at two churches in Kentucky at the end of March. Sunnyside Baptist and Parkwood Baptist in Louisville were very gracious and accepted us as family. The love of Christ was demonstrated to my family through these two churches. 

I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,  always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all,  in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now. 
Philippians 1:3-5

On April 3rd our oldest son, Dylan, had surgery to repair a defect in his chest known as Pectus Excavatum.
Basically, his sternum had grown inward and had started causing him breathing and heart problems. The surgery went well and took around 3 hours to complete. Dylan was in the hospital for 4 days but is finally home. We want to thank each of you for your prayers during this time and also want to thank our church family at New Life Church Eads for showing the love of Christ to us. By God's mercy Dylan is slowly starting to feel better and get his strength back. We will start back pressing forward toward the call on our lives as missionaries to Ecuador. 

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of  it  yet; but one thing I do:  forgetting what  lies behind and reaching forward to what  lies  ahead,  I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14

For those who have begun to give toward our ministry, Thank You!  May God bless you and your family.

How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?  How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things !" 
Romans 10:14-15


Grace and Peace,

David
