"The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee,
and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus." John 12:21

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour. As I read this verse recently, I was again reminded of the need to go to southern Louisiana and preach the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour. You see, the people there have religion. They have their idols and traditions and all of those things. However, those things are not enough to get them to heaven. You can have all the religion of this world, but if you do not have Jesus, it is worthless. What a privilege that the Lord would call my family to be the ones to go and tell. How exciting that He has asked us to go and point the way not to religion, but to Jesus. It is my heart’s desire that the people of southern Louisiana would see Jesus.

Praise
During a recent trip, our van crossed 100,000 miles. What a blessing that the Lord has opened so many doors for us to be able to go and share the need for the Gospel in southern Louisiana. Our schedule has been busy the past few months and we are grateful for it. As we travel, we have met numerous people and have been able to share with them the need for the Gospel. The Lord has been so very good to us, and we want to thank Him for His provision and safety.

We have also had several new churches take us on for support during the months of April and May. This now puts us at 40% of our needed support. Please help us pray that the remainder of the support would come in quickly so that we can get to the field that God has called us to. Help us pray that we would be able to be there by Spring of 2007 or sooner. We want to thank the following churches for making us a part of their missions family during the past few months: Ostwalt Baptist Church, Troutman, NC; Wayside Baptist Church, Walnut Cove, NC; Rock Springs Baptist Church, Kingsport, TN; Whitfield Baptist Church, Dalton, GA; Peoples Baptist Church, McDonough, GA; Bryant’s Chapel Baptist Church, Ararat, NC; and Heaven Bound Baptist Church, Savannah, GA.

Prayer Requests
The month of June will be a busy one, as we will be attending Orientation at the home office as well as several meetings. Orientation is always a great time of learning and is a help to make sure we keep our focus on the job at hand. Please pray for us during this week of Orientation.

We also ask that you continue to pray that the Lord would lead more churches to make us a part of their missions family, thereby helping us get to the field that much quicker.

Again, we are so grateful for your prayers and support. Without you, we could not serve the Lord as we are. Thank you for entrusting us to be your light to the people of southern Louisiana.
