August Update

First of all I want to thank our financial supporters. We continue to see an increase in our support level. We are still in need of a further boost in our support, but we are slowly getting to where we should be. Thank you especially for your prayers. We have had many opportunities for ministry lately and our Bible studies have been very full. Both Juanita and I have had speaking opportunities at a local church.

I would like to recount for you a situation that just happened. One of our study attendees, a pastor who is now an invalid and being cared for by his wife who continues to be a regular at our Bible studies, had a relative recently die of cancer. We had been praying for her and Juanita has been visiting this pastor and his wife regularly sharing a Bible study with them. I also visit when I can. I have been sending the current study I am doing on forgiveness home to him through his wife. There has been years of tension and trouble between his family and the family of the relative who just died. At the memorial he shared with them from my study about the need for forgiveness among the two clans. They were able to come together and forgive one another and that relationship between the clans has been restored. This news was an encouragement to me that the lessons the Lord led me to put together, which are now also in book form, have been a blessing to many. I believe this subject is hitting home with many others. I hope the lessons and book will be a help to many in this area of the world who struggle with this issue.

Please continue to pray for our family and ministry. When you are on the front lines for the Lord you need a support team back home. We cannot do this without you. Thank you for your support and encouragement.

In His hands,
Sandy Simpson
