Now Available...


That's right folks, for the next few weeks we are yours! Wes and I have arrived safely in central Pennsylvania. We will be here for about two weeks to meet with family, friends, churches, and anyone else interested in our ministry. We will be speaking during the Sunday school hour at the Blanchard Church of Christ next Sunday (that's 9:45).

From here we will be driving to Texas. If you're on the way from PA to TX (or if you can at least convince us that you're on the way) we'd love to stop and see you too!

We plan to arrive in the Ft. Worth area around the 1st of July. We plan to attend Cleburne Bible Church while we're in Texas, and visit Christ Chapel Bible Church in Ft. Worth. For our Texas readers, please contact us if you'd like to get together while we're around.

We will continue to raise support until we have enough to be officially released to the field. Right now we're almost half way to our goal for monthly support. We need partners in ministry to help us get to Alaska and minister to the Soldiers at Ft. Richardson.

In closing let me share a snippet from my reading this morning.

2 Corinthians 2:14-17; 3:4-6
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task? Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God...such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

We are able to do this in Him,
Elaine (& Wes)
