We can hardly believe that this summer is already over! It has been such an amzing journey from start to finish. From the time that we started practicing together, we knew the Lord had something special for us. We had so many struggles at the beginning, but that's when He showed Himself strongest and He continued to work through the whole summer. Thank you Pastor and Mrs. Sexton for giving us this opportunity to travel and represent Crown. We felt extremely unworthy of such an honor and we are grateful for it. Thanks also to Bro. Gray, Mrs. Sengmany, Miss Clark, Mrs. Stancil, and Mr. Cheney for all your help and encourgagement to us during our training. Your diligence and patience working with us helped prepare us for the work that was to come.
We would like to say a hearty "thank you" to every church and pastor we met this summer. Some of you were small congregations, but we did not encounter one where we were not met with love and hospitality. We have a broader vision for the west and the people there and we thank you for showing us that the Lord's people take care of the Lord's people no matter where they are. You were all such a blessing to us and we will continue to pray for your ministries.
We know we could not have travelled this summer without the support and prayers of our parents and family. Thank you all so much for being there for us every step of the way and for preparing us so faithfully for what we were called upon to do this summer. Your example and tender guidance in our lives is not taken for granted and we thank God for your influence.
Our summer would not have been the same without our experienced, stalwart leaders, Mr. and Mrs. Dustman. You were such an inspiration to us and we owe a debt of gratitude to you and your family for sacrificing your summer to travel with us. We know it was exhausting at times, but you kept going just the same. Mr. Dustman, we thank you for driving all that way and still finding the energy to preach and encourage the Pastors the way you did. Your steadfastness will always be remembered by us and looked to as an example of faithfulness. Mrs. Dustman, your caring words to us were just what we needed every time and we appreciate your heart to encourage God's people every place we went. Thank you both for your burden for the west and your heart to share that burden with others so that more laborers would go to that needy area. We had the time of our lives and we will always cherish the memories we made with you along the way. God bless you for your sacrifice and faithfulness.
We had an experience of a lifetime this summer and we thank each of you who kept up with us for your prayers and comments. We are thankful for the Lord's protection and blessing on our group through it all and we look forward to what He has for each of our lives in the future. God bless you and may the Lord continue to bring glory to himself through the ministries in the west and throughout the country.
In Christ,
