Melvins on the move November 2009

The Melvins are still on the move. We have spent much of our time over the past month and a half sharing how God called us to the mission field and ways we have seen Him work in our lives and the lives of the Basotho over the past three years. We have enjoyed being with those who have faithfully supported and encouraged us during our first term and getting to know many new folks who are now partnering with us and the work in Lesotho. It’s a perfect time to thank God for all of YOU. Both former prayer warriors and those who are newly committed support and sustain us as we look ahead and prepare for our return to Lesotho in early 2010. We give thanks to God for you and pray His blessings on each and every one of you during this Thanksgiving season and in the days to come. Praises and Answered Prayers: • Prayer warriors committed to pray for our family and the Basotho • 2 college graduates, Justin and Korby, who have committed to serve in Lesotho for a Journeyman term of two years • Our appointment as IMB long-term career missionaries • Eli’s first American High school report card: All A’s!! • Our friend and kingdom partner, Carl’s good response to chemo treatments thus far • Safe travel during our busy schedule • Good health during the flu season
Special greetings and thanks to those whom we have visited over the past couple of months to share God’s story and His work in Lesotho. We look forward to how God will use your prayers to bring many Basotho to the saving knowledge ofJesus.
