“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”
Romans 15:13
Dear <<Greeting>>,

Keith and I finished sharing our ministry with several churches and returned home to FL. The next day, Keith flew to Washington, DC to welcome the seven national directors of CCI from around the world.  Here is Keith’s report of how God is using them on the tour.

Everyone was excited to see each other. They had not seen each other in-person since the global conference in the Philippines 3 years ago.  When David Nelson, CCI President arrived, Keith, along with the seven national directors loaded the van and head to a hotel in Virginia.  We visited a family that night for dinner, where we met Anita, who prepared a feast of Pilipino food for us.  We had a great time of fellowship, telling testimonies and answering questions from the Pastor of the church where we were to present the next night.  We practiced our presentations, making sure we were within the time allotted.  That night, we were welcomed and loved upon by the church congregation.  They were encouraged to hear of the many things God is doing around the world.
The next day we drove to New York and settled into a log cabin lodge.  The men were still jet lagged from their flights, as they would be up early and talking to their families back home.  Most of them are +12 hours from the US.  When it is morning in the U.S., it is evening in their countries.  Because of this, many of them would be up early in the morning to communicate with their wife and children back home. 

We visited and presented in a few churches, and then went to upstate NY and presented in a few more churches.  While we were there, one morning we visited the family business of the Double Axe Stone company.  We were able to see the massive saws used to cut the stone, and how they are cut into various sizes to be used for floor tiles and stair treads.  We also got the opportunity to visit a dairy farm that produces A2A2 milk from the Guernsey breed of cattle.  We went to the bottling plant and saw the process that the milk goes through to be put in containers to ship around the town of Deposit, NY.  Currently, their market is strictly local, but they are still busy, nonetheless.  We then made our way out to another part of the farm where the milking and feeding are done. We were shown the calves that were only a couple hours old to those fully grown and used to breed and milk.  I spoke with one of the workers, who only spoke Spanish, and she told me about the young calves.  A couple of us let the calves nurse on our fingers.  What a weird feeling.  Before we left that town, we visited the other family business of Bass Lumber as we left.  We saw how they ship lumber to different parts of the world, and we also viewed how the mill cuts the different pieces of oddly shaped wood into boards that could be used for building.  One section of the plant built crates and pallets for the stone company.  It was great to see how God was blessing and using each of these family businesses for His glory.  Three companies; one family.
On Monday the 12th, we arrived at the ABWE headquarters in PA to start their “Good Soil” training.  There we learned how to use different resources to guide and direct our efforts of evangelism in a relational manner.  We received an engaging time of using the methods that we were taught.  The information we learned is being considered for integration, along with the current curriculum and courses that CCI offers.  Jenny was able to join Keith for this training.  Jenny feels the training gave her new tools for evangelism and will help her determine where a person is spiritually to help her better evangelize.
 
We then made our way to Pottstown, PA, on the 17th, to stay for the next couple of weeks.  We have made new friendships and connections with churches and pastors.  Many of these relationships David Nelson has already made prior to this trip, and have been supported by them for upwards of 30 years.  On the 20th, we drove to Avon, OH and met a couple who knows and supports a CCI staff member in the Philippines.  They gave us a brief tour of the Lake Erie coastline, before we had to check-in to our hotel to get ready, and meet a group from his church for dinner.  We met with the pastors again from that church in the morning, and then a pastor of another church, before driving the 6 and a half hours back to PA.
As you read this letter, we will be making our way into another part of PA and then off to MD.  Thank you for your prayers of safety for our travels and the potential fruit produced from this trip.

Thank you for your prayers and financial support.

Prayer Requests & Praises
  • We praise God that He has been so faithful.
  • We ask that you pray for us as we look for housing here in the states and in the future when we get to Mexico.
  • Please pray also, that we will be directed to those with whom we need to meet, both for support and for the work of the ministry.
  • Please be in prayer for the Fall tour, as we will be traveling.  Please pray for safety, fellowship, and for the hearts of people to be open to each presentation and prayerfully consider investing in the CCI ministry.
  • While at Spanish School this past year, we have lost some support which puts us below 100% by about $250 a month is needed.  Please pray with us that the Lord will guide us to churches and individuals that can help us regain 100% of the support we need.  We need housing starting November 12 to mid-January.  Please pray with us that we will be able to find that.  We have a few requests to churches with prophet’s chambers, and other mission houses.  Of course, we would like to be close to family, especially during the holidays.
Our focus is for people to not just be recipients of the Gospel but to also be participants in the Great Commission.
