| Let The Children Come Unto Me |
|
Our children participated in a children's outreach with World Outreach Church this month. Jessica and Hannah helped with activities, music and by giving up their Friday night to go door-to-door in this neighborhood to personally invite children to come and hear about Jesus the next day. Both girls loved being with all the kids and telling them how God loves them and how He thinks they are so awesome! The result of this outreach was 24 children and four adults getting saved!!! Hallelujah! People are hungry to hear the good news of Jesus Christ!

| Samoan Islands |
|
As you may know, the islands of Western Samoa and American Samoa were hit by a tsunami caused by an earthquake at the end of September. There was much devastation throughout the islands and many people lost their lives. Others lost their homes and businesses and jobs. Please join us in praying for these island nations as they recover and rebuild their communities and their lives. Stephen has spent time in these places and we have friends there who we have been in contact with. Their church is undamaged but many other churches are not. They tell us that people are struggling as they are coming to terms with what has happened and the incredible task ahead to rebuild. We want to be a part of the restoration. We are praying for God to show Himself mightily to the people in the islands!

| Australia Update |
We are still moving forward with plans to move. Thank you to all of you who are praying with us for the sale of our home. It will happen soon! We have been asked many times why we are going to Australia. Australia is a nation of nations. Over 24% of it's population were born in other nations. There are over 120 nations represented in the people of Australia. In essence, you can reach many nations by reaching one!

Thank you for your generous support of this ministry! We are excited about all that God is doing! We are ready to go! Thank you for sending us! God bless! Stephen, Rachel and family
