Arrival in Nauru

Our arrival to the island of Nauru was uneventful and that

is what you want when flying. We are

always thankful at the end of a long trip for

all the safety that the Lord provides.

 

 We were excited to be back at International Baptist Church

and to see Missionary Adam and Christie McGeorge.

Elijah, Titus and especially Gideon have grown 

so much. We are thankful to them for their

faithfulness to the Lord.

We were excited to see some of the faithful

folk of the church and some new faces.

We look forward to serving here until January 2017.

 

Almost time to head home.

Our time in Fiji is drawing to a close.  Its hard to believe 

that 5 months has nearly passed since our

arrival. We have met some sweet folk who

love the Lord. That is one thing about

this Standing In The Gap ministry you get to meet

some of God's amazing people but you also

have to leave them behind. We know that someday

we will get to spend eternity with some them. Since

our arrival in Fiji we have seen 6 souls saved.

and men praying over Leo before Daku's

 left in October 2015.

Christmas program 2015 with teens and children.

 

The Hindi Festival of Lights gods the Hindus purchase in the stores.

 

We will be flying home on February 29 and spending about

a month and half before we fly out for the

island of Nauru where we will 'Stand In' for

missionaries Adam and Christie McGeorge. This

will be our second time we will be

'standing in' for the McGeorge's and look

forward to being with the people of International

Baptist Church of Nauru.

 

It's Almost Time!!!

Time is approaching very quickly, September 29, it will

be here before we know it. The Lord has opened the door

for us to have a young couple live

in our house while we are gone. That is a huge

blessing for us and we pray it will
also be a blessing to them. 

We ask that you pray for us while we are in
Fiji and for the Daku's as they
will be traveling during their furlough time.
We are looking forward to our time
with the International Baptist Church of Fiji.

International Baptist Church of Fiji

 After a bit of a rest (1 1/2 months)
we head out again.
The Lord has opened yet another door for 
us to 'Stand In The Gap' for
another missionary!!
Can you guess where???

Dear Pastor and Church,                                                                       June / July 2015

We had the blessed opportunity to go with a group of 15 from our church to the Navajo Reservation in Fruitland, New Mexico.  We had several novel experiences on this trip, for me it was the street preaching at a busy intersection; it was certainly outside of my normal preaching routine. We then moved to a shopping mall parking lot where Cathy had the opportunity to hand a John & Romans to a young lady that was coming over to see what was going on. Cathy realized that her accent indicated that she was not American and asked her where she was from. She told her the Netherlands that is where Cathy was born. The Lord brought this group with a broken down vehicle so she could receive a John & Romans. She told Cathy that she was searching and claimed to be an atheist but thought there might be a God. Cathy encouraged her to take the John & Romans and to read it when she had opportunity and to open her heart to what it said. If this story comes to mind please pray for her and her salvation. Small world isn't it.

 .This week we are headed to Merriam, Kansas, then off to Billings, Montana followed by Salt Lake City, Utah. We will be back home in St. Joseph in time to work in our Vacation Bible School.  Part of August we will be going to Chattanooga, TN and then the GIBM meeting at our church in September.

In October, we leave for Fiji to Stand In The Gap for missionary Paul W. and Martha Daku. We are looking forward to watching over the ministry for the Daku’s while they take a much needed furlough.  Please pray for the financial needs we have for this Fiji trip.

Standing In The Gap for your missionaries,

Leo and Cathy Paine

Isaiah 26:3-4

Next Stop!!!

Next Stop for 'Standing In The Gap'

The LORD has once again opened the door

for us to 'stand in' for missionaries Paul W. and Martha Daku

in Laukota, Fiji.

 We are excited about the opportunity to be a blessing 

to the Daku's and the ministry there.

We do not have a lot of details yet but it looks

like we will be headed back to the 

South Pacific in September.

We ask for your prayers as we all prepare for this

trip...there is much to do both families.
