April Report

I just wanted to update you on things that are happening here in the islands so you can be praying for us. We have been having good Bible studies even though we have a number of people who are back in their home islands right now. I have been teaching in 1 Corinthians and will conclude that study the first week of June. The two letters to the Corinthians are packed with practical teaching as well as doctrinal issues. This week I am teaching about the law of Christ, which is love. Juanita will teach another Bible study after I am done and then I will conclude with 2 Corinthians. Juanita has been invited to do a woman's conference in Majuro in the Republic of the Marshalls at the end of June. Please pray that she will be prepared and that her health will hold up. It is not always easy for her to take a trip like that. We will be blessed to have my sister Angela and her family visit us in June. We are looking forward to that time together. We had a young man run into Rose's car who was uninsured. Fortunately myself, Rose and Juanita are fine after that accident. Josiah was the main actor in a play about Christ's death and Resurrection at a local church. This was a first for him and he did a great job as the centurion who crucified Christ. Carissa has had a very bad ear infection this week with bleeding from her ear so we would appreciate your prayers for her. Carissa and Fudge continue to be on the worship team at our church. There has been renewed violence among the different island groups here especially in Chinatown. Please pray for the safety of our Bible study people as a number of their families live close to that area and they are often under threats of violence. Please also continue to pray for many of our Bible study people who have various medical problems. We would especially covet your prayers for Bila who has been facing possible amputation of one of her feet. This week the doctors were going to amputate but another doctor decided to wait and see if her foot can recover. Thank you for your continued prayer and support for this ministry.

In His hands,
Sandy Simpson
