The Plane Facts
Dear Ones,
This month has been
one of the best of my life so far. The Vero
Beach Central Assembly team was here for 7 days. It's
difficult to express the incredible blessing they were to so many people during
their short visit. Around 700 children were ministered to during the VBS
sessions and approximately 500 adults in the evening services. They came
prepared with wonderful Bible stories for the kids. The young ones were wide
eyed as they watched Daniel get thrown into the lions den, Esther courageously
risking her life to save her people and David killing Goliath. The main theme
of the Vacation Bible School
lessons was "Jesus is Our Super Hero". The songs and worship dance
brought tears to many eyes as the group shared with so much love and
tenderness.
For "Miracle
Night" (Sunday-July 15th), we joined together with the prayer
group from our local church and were part of leading several people to the best
miracle of all……receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior. There was a huge crowd at
church that night and each one who went forward received a time of personal
prayer and blessing. Language didn't seem to be a barrier as the group from Vero Beach prayed along
side of the church folks. Thank you for everything, Pastor Larry and team,
thank you!
As you can imagine, the
days were busy with the Florida
team here and each morning I was hurrying to get ready to meet the group to
begin our day of ministry. One morning, as I was just getting out of the
shower, two ladies came to the gate. It was a mother and her daughter. The mom
told Rick that the young girl (about 13) wanted to know God. Rick called to ask
me to talk to them. Sure enough, that young lady was like ripe fruit ready to
fall off the tree. We shared the Gospel message and she gave her life to Jesus.
What a wonderful sight to see Melina's smile and that mom just beaming with
happiness to see her daughter come to that point in her life. It was well worth
it to be running a bit late that morning.
When the Florida team left, I
went into "full preparation mode" for the arrival of our family. The
gang began to arrive on July 25th.
These last 6 days have been so full of love and laughter. It's amazing
to see how the Lord worked out all the details for this reunion. It's been over
16 years since we have all been in the same place at one time. When I think back
on our wedding day it seems like such a short time ago but seeing everyone here
and reminiscing, I realize SO much has happened in these 45 years. Thank you,
Lord and praise Your Holy Name for Rick and our family!
Please continue to pray
for all of us. Thank you for standing with us. We wouldn't be here without your
love, prayers and support. You are greatly appreciated!
Love and blessings,
Rick and Sharon
