The
last six months has been a whirlwind and has been such a learning experience
for all of us. Mary finished her ministry school in May and is still working
part time at a French cosmetic store. Kenny has been working part time for Delta
Airlines. Working for Delta has allowed us to see more of our family in
Oklahoma and take a short mission trip to Marseille as a family. Kenny is also
working towards his M.A. through Liberty online and should finish up some time
next year. The kids are in a school program called Classical Conversations.
They are taught the core foundations of the appropriate age curriculum plus
in-depth version of the history of civilization all from a biblical
perspective.
As I mentioned earlier we recently took a trip
to Marseille as an entire family in August. It was a short trip but we feel the
Lord really spoke to us and guided our thoughts while we were there. Our intent was to expose our kids to the
country, catch up with the interns, and see where we would fit when it comes to
ministry. While we were there we got to
see a cool coffee shop set in the heart of the art district that also serves as
a church. We also got to catch up with
other missionaries from BIM, Greyling and Sandra Trees. This couple is paving
the way for the spread of the Gospel unlike the city has seen for years! Please
keep them in your prayers as they are pioneers of the Gospel in a very dark
city.
Technology
The
church we have been a part of the last year has offered to help us get a website
going. This will allow us to communicate all that we are doing on regular
bases. With a website in place more people we
be able to see what we are doing and join in our journey to take to
church to where it is not. I will have
Mary post more info on Facebook when it is up and running!
Thank You!
It
seems every time we ask the Lord if we are still on the right path, he sends someone
along to confirm that indeed we are still in his will. The good news is that
with all the support we have received from you over the past couple of years we
are at 100% of our set up needs. As you read this we are building relationships
in our church to reach the other 50% of our monthly support. Again, we cannot
say THANK YOU enough for what you
have sacrificed for us to be where we are today. Please continue to keep us in
your prayers as we seek to bring the Good News everywhere we go.
In
His Care,
The
Edwards
Special Prayer Request
I Kenny,
have an amazing opportunity to take a mission trip to Togo Africa at the end of
November. It will be a ten day trip with a group from our church here in
Minnesota. We will focus on a work with a few orphanages and spend time
organizing a three day crusade. We are
expecting thousands to come hear the Gospel! Pray for safety, health, and
leading of the Holy Spirit! I can’t wait
to update you with the testimonies that I am expecting from this trip!
