Shelby Bible Church (Shelby Township, MI)

Greetings!  This week we have the privilege of ministering at Shelby Bible Church.  Last year we came to this church for the first time.  It was such a joy to be with them, and we were so excited for the opportunity to return this year to minister again.  Ardy and Jean's daughter and son-in-law, and their two children, Ella and Drew, attend church here.  Ardy and Jean are enjoying the week with the grandchildren and they are making sure to spoil them while they can!

We, as a team, have been reminded of all the hurts, struggles, and battles that God's children are going through.  We have begun, once again, to pass out prayer cards during the service and encourage the church body to share things with us that we can pray for.  We get up onstage and we sing,we see smiles, and we receive a round of applause at the end of our songs and everything seems fine and dandy.  But the reality is that God's people are hurting.  We have struggles and trials that God is bringing Hid people through.  And we have been challenged to continue, as a team and as a church body, to lift each other up in prayer.

Continue to pray for Christopher Boda.  He will be in the US for about another week involved in many church meetings, trying to raise funds for the BTM ministries and to raise an awareness of all that God is doing over in Hyderabad, India.  For more information on BTM ministries, click on the link in the upper right corner of this blog.  Or go to our website to learn more about sponsoring an orphan for just $25/month.  

Continue to pray for the ongoing of our ministry and for the many needs we have.  May God richly bless you and may He draw you closer to Himself in the days to come.
