Hello everyone,

I had another great time with Scott and Dell. Scott and I were able to get a lot out of our time of just sharing how we deal with our struggles and with all hope and faith in God, he is being well prepared for times ahead. Please pray that this time of preparation will be complete and God lead and will come for all those that are in need.
Praise God that there were 7 men this Sunday that chose to meet with me. Each one , of course, has specific hurts and needs, but so do their families and in some cases those that were hurt by their lives. Please pray for them and those around them, especially Chad and his family. His wife and 4 yr old son are missed greatly.
Had a very inspired time at Church this morning where people shared their own views on different areas of sharing, giving, and supporting each other as a family. I thank all of you who have joined us in this little mission of God's here in Macomb with your prayers and money. I had $10.00 donated this Sunday. All praise to God for providing just enough for our needs. It looks like I'll be able to work the 3-11pm shift at the water plant this coming Monday to help cover some of our other expenses this month. Please pray for me, as God has compelled me to buy an entire case of bibles and other materials this month and now I'm having more people wanting studies and spending much more time together.(over 4 hours this past Sunday) Whatever He's up to, it's getting bigger so it looks like I need to seek out even more support and faith in God's provisions.
Can't wait for Lenny's release date of June 12th. Looking forward to the cookout to. Please pray for his family and especially his wife Angel. There's only so much we can do to prepare for Lenny's homecoming, please pray for God to lead us in this.


thanks,
Brian
