Updates

In just a couple hours I am going to be heading to the airport to pick up Kirsten and Trevor.  As you know, they spent the last couple weeks in NJ/PA to be with her family after her sister's accident.  The report of her sister as of last night is this:  Katie is still in a tough spot but is showing signs of improvement.  She is scheduled to have an operation on one leg today (a six hour procedure) and if all goes well a second operation is slated for later this week.  They put off this surgery due to Katie's lung collapse and a subsequent infection, which to my non-medical mind caused to not heal and be strong enough to endure the surgery.  However, the doctor's have decided that she is well enough to now handle the surgery for which we praise God!  Please pray for Katie, Nate (her husband), the family, and medical staff as she goes into surgery today.

Since Kirsten and Trevor left, I have been in go, go, go mode.  With Pastor Allen off the island for a week and a team arriving just a day after Kirsten and Vernon left I assumed more responsibility in organizing rides, schedules, and the like for the team.  Therefore, I apologize for the delay in the updating.  However, Vernon is now back, the second wave of the team is now here and I have some slightly more time to post this update.  The team that is here are our dear friends from North Shore Baptist Church in NYC.  The majority of the team members come every year and this year is no different.  It has been a great blessing from God that even while Kirsten and Trevor have been away, I have been kept company and fed by dear, godly friends!  Please pray for the teams ministry over the next two weeks that God would cause it to be successful and that the saints would be strengthened through their work.

Lastly, here is our latest newsletter.  We wrote it awhile ago, but have yet to post it because of all the other more pressing news.  So, without any further ado - here it is!
