There is really nothing new to report. Things are going well. We are still just doing school and life. We have started on all of our travel vaccines. Ian and I had shots on Friday and we all have things we need this Friday. You can add that to your prayer list for us! You know how kids just love needles and it looks like they will each get 2 shots and a TB test.
So far this week we have done a seminar on the persecuted church. AMAZING!! The stories of what the Lord is doing around the world and how the church is being persecuted are just overwhelming at times. In terms of American churches, the presenter made a good observation. He says we are "persecuted" for our stand on social issues like abortion and homosexuality, but that true persecution was for the cause of Christ. So, in other words, we have no idea what persecution is. There are people all over the world who are put in prison, tortured, and even put to death, because they are found in possession of God's word. These same believers go to prison or return from their torture and continue to serve God. That is passion, that is pure devotion!
Please continue to pray for us. Your prayers are being felt and are greatly appreciated. We have seen improvements in our children's behavior in our small group time. I think the schedule is really starting to wear them down. I have been talking to Bianca about how she would like to decorate her new room in Spain and she seems to be excited about that and really ready to get to her new house and have her things.
In addition to the things I have already mentioned please keep praying that our Visa's come in. As you pray for our People Group, please lift up our language learning. Me more than Ian, he is a wiz at languages. Pray it will come quickly and that we will be able to effectively communicate the gospel to those we meet.
Thanks again for your support!
Katie
