Dear Pastor and Church,

We hope all is well with you as you labor for the Lord. This is the island of Nauru, home of Missionaries Adam and Christie McGeorge where we have served on two other occasions. We will return to ‘Stand In The Gap’ for them from October 31, 2019 until August 2020. Pray for us as we prepare all that needs to be done.

  We have some needs that have come up and are asking for your prayers/financial support.

  Would you prayerfully consider helping us with:

• Medical Evacuation Insurance $1,000.

• Cathy has some medical needs before we leave in late October.

• Pay off new cell phone so it can be used on the island $500.

• Wisdom in the matter of accepting calls of where and when to ‘Stand In’ as the needs of missionaries are far greater than we can supply.

• Some temporary support for our time on the island of Nauru.

• Most importantly we are asking for prayer support.

 Thank you for your faithful support of this ministry. Without you, we could not GO!

Going Home!!

April 15, 2016 to January 8, 2017

was our time on the island of Nauru.

It is never easy to say good-bye but

that is part of the Standing In The Gap ministry.

 Pastor Adam and Christie McGeorge and boys.

Pastor of International Baptist Church.   January 8, 2017.

We flew to Brisbane, Australia where we took a few days of rest.

 Peter and Margaret Leslie our gracious host and hostess while we were in Australia. 

The morning of January 13 just before flying home.

We had to renew our passports and after just 3 1/2 weeks

our they arrived. We are set for another 10 years.

 

 

 

Time...

We saw a poll that was taken on December 2 that said,

"It is already December 2!! Do you think this

year has gone by fast, slow, or just right?

Of those that responded:

75% (including us) said has flown by

8% said it's been a slow year

16% say it's been a normal year.

We have been in Nauru since April 15

and time has just flown by.

Whatever field we are on we always

encourage the people to pray for their pastor.

Nauru is no different.

For the last month or so we have reminded the people

that the Pastor McGeorge and family will

return in 6 Sundays and the

countdown is on!!!

 

 If the Lord should bring the McGeorge family to your

mind please pray for them as they prepare to say

goodbye to loved ones and return to their home

and church.

We never get tired of the ocean.

 

 Teens are teens no matter the country - hanging around after school.
