Thank You Lord . . .
for creating a beautiful new member of the family, Emma Sophia!
Welcome Emma! We're all so thankful for you! Emma was born to Anna and Ben on September 14th. She is now over two months old and already she has made several positive impressions on both sides of the Atlantic . . . . for example, she has blessed her mom and dad with a colic free start to life and is already sleeping through the night! Over here, she has a whole community of believers who have followed her first two months closely on Facebook and can't wait to meet her in person . . . especially her grandpa and 2 little uncles!
Emma . . . Thank You for making us grandparents!
Thank You Lord!!
Our long-awaited leadership training program kicked off on November 8th. Here we are, gathered around a table studying what it means to be "a Gospel community on mission". All this month we have been exploring the Word to trace the Gospel story and understand Gospel transformation. Please pray for our next training session on December 8th. Our topic will be, "Living as a Community on Mission".
Thank you Lord,
that though you sent disaster on Washington, Illinois . . .
. . . you were merciful to Kris' parents, Jim & Annette Carmean, who, though they lost their home, didn't lose their lives in this great tragedy. Pray for them as they literally pick up the pieces and forge ahead with all the decisions that are involved in the big process of rebuilding.
Thank You!
From each one of us . . . to each one of you, our giving friends and family, who, even in the midst of trying and uncertain times are faithfully making it possible for us to help Italians come to enjoy and expand God's wonderful Kingdom. Many here at Il Faro say, "Thank You!"
