Running the Paths of Memphis

Rick and Kim Beck missionaries in Honduras.

Since our return from Africa the time has been filled with securing partners for the future. We have been meeting with many in Memphis and many other locations I mentioned in May. What a joy to see some people that we have not seen in many years.

We are mentoring two missionary couples here in Memphis and look for Rick and Kim Beck to return from Honduras soon, hopefully June 20th.  We will work with them here in Memphis during their furlough.

Next week Cathy and I attend the Area One Camp of the Ozarks retreat to serve, speak (mostly to college students and graduated seniors) and share mission stories with hundreds of young people. Rachel and Kiley Butler are a couple we have been working with for some time. Pray for our time next week. We also plan to attend their conference in Florida during July. I will also be doing a complete assessment of the camp for Rachel and Kiley. Come see some details at http://areaone.org/camps/area1ozarks—missouri

I also find myself counseling and mentoring numerous individuals in the Memphis area. Wow. Things seem to never slow down. Thank you to Him for keeping us busy and focused on His goal.

God is continuing to guide us as the foundation is built and future ministry is being established. I talked with Rolf Weichardt last week in South Africa and we made plans for next January through March for a return visit. Amazing how many weeks are already established.

Germany for August could not fit the schedule for I-Themba and we are looking at Zambia during that time. Two missionaries are there and could use some attention.

Discussions are being had about a missionary get-away to Little Key island near Honduras. Several missionaries have shown interest and desire to be involved in a deeper still restoration event.

We are also looking to meet some missionaries in Nelspruit, South Africa who expressed an interest in mentoring. We have many options and need your prayers to choose wisely. During that same trip we would attend the YFC South Africa staff conference to meet even more missionaries from around Africa. That will hopefully be in September. We will update you next week from Missouri and the Area One Camp.
