Summer Outreach

Andrew and Matthew are involved in a summer outreach,  along with a  few other students that are still here for the summer  (most of the BFA community has left for the summer).  Matt is meeting with 5-6th graders and Andrew with 8-9th graders from the local German school in town. They will be sharing the love of Christ and helping the students with their English skills.  Please keep all of these students  in your prayers as the share, and for the local german students to have open hearts to hear about Christ's love for us!

Many blessings along the way

Today I have been thinking about the many blessings the Lord has presented us with in our new housing and our current one. We will be moving in July just across the street, still walking distance  to the market. It is wonderful not to have to take the car out to the market, which is usually a daily event when you have a fridge
 the size of  kitchen sink.  We have been prayerfully getting ready for the transition into a unfurnished home.   Last month a local family blessed us with some bedding and ALL of our kitchen needs!  WOW,  I am still in awe of how God works.  Sometimes I find myself saying I can't believe it!   But I do believe God will meet our needs and yours it is just amazing experience it !  

 The kids and I are here in Germany without Rob.  Rob is back in RI raising support so we can continue to serve the students here at BFA .  If you have  not had a visit with him please email him and catch up :)!  We were do to move on July 1st.  Our new landlord contacted us last week saying that she needed to do some messy work and we would have to wait a few more weeks.    We are able to stay in our current home while that work is being done!!  What another HUGE blessing!  Thank you LORD !! Now our move in date is also closer to when Rob will be back :)  We are also thankful our new landlord is so very nice and she speaks english! 

Love you all, Heather

Cafe Time

On Thursday mornings right after the kids get on the bus some English speaking and German speaking moms get together for coffee and tea.  We practice our language skills with each other, learn about cultural differences and share about our lives.  We all look forward to our time together as we meet in a small shop that sells local artist's handmade goods.  This week was our last time until September.  Here is a photo of our hostess and some of the ladies from this week.

 

                                                                                                

Psalm 143:8

           Let the morning bring me word of 

                     your unfailing love, 
          for I have put my trust in you.
                Show me the way I should go,
            for to you I entrust my life       

Psalm 143:8

Track Team

Today was the last day of Track and the Spring season seemed to go by lightening fast! Rob really enjoyed working with the students as they sharpened their skills, and I think Andrew didn't mind having Dad as a coach !

Grand Prix

Last Saturday were the Awana Grand Prix Races !!  All of the  English and German children have been so excited for this event and it was a success :)  You can see their excitement as they cheer on their fellow racers to the finish line.

 

Here are some of the car designs

& the races.

We are all so grateful for all the Awana leaders that pour the love of God into these children !  Thank you !!
