Basking in Love
“Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. 1 John 4:11-12 NLT
Dear Praying Friends,
Summertime is the season of weddings and love is certainly in the air! Our Palau CEO Kevin (and Michelle) Palau’s son Daniel was just recently married to Laney on August 6th; which also was Luis and Pat Palau’s 55th wedding anniversary! Our own daughter Lindsey is getting married in less than 2 weeks! Love, commitment, celebrations and festivities abound! Each of us can take this joy personally as we commit ourselves to Jesus as our bridegroom and bask in His love for us, as well as pass His love on to others by sharing the Good News. It’s a prayer we can pray as Andrew and the Palau team leave for Malawi, Africa this week to share Jesus' love at the Love Malawi Festival!
Praise
Jamaica | It was the “Fun in the Son" 14th consecutive year in sharing the Good News in Jamaica! What a blessing as thousands heard the Gospel through multiple venues: in prisons, sports camps, health clinics, schools, orphanages, and a women’s tea . . . all in addition to the festival itself. Tens of thousands came, heard Jesus’ love and message proclaimed, and many lives were changed forever!
Washington, D.C. | "Together 2016" took place on July 16th at the National Mall. More than 100,000 came from all over the country to worship, celebrate and share Jesus’ love!
Pray
