Greetings To You Our Brethren and Loved Ones!Just a little update on the work in Aruba.
The ladies at the San Nicolas congregation recently hosted the island's fourth Ladies Retreat. The theme was "Soldiers of Christ Arise" with well over a hundred in attendance. Sister Beth Cook (pictured left, Patricia middle, Mary right) from the United States was the guest speaker. From all reports...i didn't actually attend...the quality and spiritual level of the event was very impressive to all in attendance; there were many visitors present so we have much hope that the efforts of our faithful ladies will prove super-victorious for the days and years to come in the lives of many precious and searching souls. Randy, her husband, spoke for us on their Sunday here. Truly it was a wonderful time of fellowship and learning.
Rejoice with us for the summer addition of our sister Karen. Please keep this single mother and her children in your thoughts and prayers. She was widowed after a tragic accident.
We also invite you to rejoice with us in the new birth of our brother Anton Frederiks. A survivor of a German POW camp during WW II, and many harsh ongoing physical ailments, his prayer (translated by his wife) had been that the Lord grant him enough time to be baptized for the forgiveness of sins. Two days ago, after translating, study...and more translating, Anton was baptized by his son John and added to the church. Truly we have an awesome God who is not slow in His promises, but is longsuffering to us!
Please continue to pray for the work here. We love you and appreciate all that you do for us in the greatest cause on earth.
The Lord bless and especially keep you all.
In faith and service,
The Lord bless and especially keep you all.
In faith and service,
Tim, Mary, and Christian
