Dear
Pastor and Church: August/September 2014
Time
has been flying along since our return from Europe in April. The Lord has given
us opportunities to travel and preach and give testimony of what the Lord is
doing with ‘Standing In The Gap’. Cathy
has had several opportunities to speak at different Ladies meetings since we
arrived home. She was also able to go with the ladies of our church to
Springfield, MO for a meeting this past weekend.
Jon
and Emilie Rettig drove through St. Joseph before their return to the field and
we were able to spend some time together over lunch. We are thankful for them
and their faithful work to the Lord and folk in the Czech Republic.
We
are continuing to work on the repairs on our house after we had frozen water
lines and breaks while in Europe. We are waiting for kitchen counter tops and
we still have lots of painting to do.
I
had some outpatient surgery on August 8th the doctor clipped a
muscle in the leg I had hip replacement on in 2008. I had an allergic reaction
to some medication they used and that added a bit of recovery time. This
procedure is supposed to reduce the constant pain that I have in that hip and the
pain has lessened some and we are very thankful for that.
Pastor
and church we are asking you to pray for an open door for us to stand in for a
missionary who needs to go on furlough.
Feel free to call, email us or our pastor Bill Marshall. We have stood
in for Jon Rettig on three different occasions, you may contact him at (rettig@missionpraha.org) in the Czech Republic and Adam
McGeorge in Nauru (adam@mcgeorgemissions.info), we stood in for him for 11 months.
We also have a ‘personal need’ and we ask that you pray for that if the LORD
should bring it to mind.
Standing
In The Gap for YOUR missionary,
Leo
and Cathy Paine
