Dear Praying Family and friends, Good Morning from Croydon, South Africa. By God's grace we arrived safely yesterday from our Home assignment. Your faithfulness in prayer and sacrificial partnership helped us to sleep in 17 different beds in our visit to partners in 10 States. July 14th we slept whole night on the floor in Charlotte airport and on 24th July we spent 4:20 pm to 9:30 pm in Greensboro airport. In between our rough ride, and smooth slide; many of you opened your home for us to stay comfortably, car to use, and your computer, printer and free Wi Fi for our use. We drove 11 different cars in our 89 days HA. We learned a three month Home assignment is not enough to cover all our supporting churches, families and friends. We are excited for the continuation of a new term of our ministry in South Africa. Praise the Lord with us as Philip and Keren settling in Middletown CT. Pray for them as Keren continues her studies in Long Island, NY and Philip continue his residency in CT. Praise the Lord Anju and family striving through the ministry, raising children, educational ministry and the shepherding ministry in two local churches. Praise the Lord Manju and family prepare for the family expansion as they continue to involve in church ministry in Scotland. Molly and Pookkattu's mothers are doing well. Pray with us, as we clean and settle in a dusty and cold house. Our team is excited to see us back. Early this morning we had to take Fransisco Rodrigues to airport as he is on three months home assignment in Brazil, as Vanuza, and children are staying back due to children's schooling. During our long flight, we had couple of Air hostess came and asked of our ministry, seeing us reading and meditating on the Word and we had a great opportunity to talk about the Lord. The Lord emphatically reminded us of Titus 3:1 "Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is
good" Verse 8 Paul says..I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. v 14 "Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good". We will be in touch soon with our prayer calender as many of you like to see it and pray for us and our team serving the Lord in intentional discipleship of nations. Serving together. Molly and Pookkattu Paul John 15:4-5
