April 2013 Report

Dear Friends,

I want to thank you all again for your continued prayers and financial support.  It means more to us than you know! 

We continue to keep busy in our ministry to Micronesian islanders.  We have many youth now attending our Bible studies for which I am very glad.  Many are growing in the Lord and showing it by their questions and life.  I concluded my study of Philippians and Juanita is now giving a study of James.  I will follow that up with my study in 1 & 2 Corinthians.  There is still talk of having me go to Chuuk to speak at the Pastor’s Conference there this summer, at which I would plan to speak on, among other topics, the Biblical qualifications to be an overseer in the Church.  Please be in prayer for this opportunity and for the Evangelical Church Of Chuuk.  Unless I get financial help from the ECC, the mission or elsewhere I would not be able to afford the airfare to go.  I continue to work on DVD projects.  My latest offering is a two-part series called “Testing Music in the Church”.  I will be working on two more subjects as soon as my video computer gets fixed.  Please pray that I will be able to get that back soon and afford the repairs.  

We have had unseasonably cold weather this year for many months.  It has actually been down in the upper 50's, believe it or not, a number of times.  I'm sure many ofyou have also experienced this "global cooling" :)

Juanita continues her ministry of visitation.  We have had a number of people sick with the flu and further complications such as bronchitis and pneumonia.  We also have some folks who were faithful attendees of our studies who are now confined to home due to various debilitating physical problems. 

Rose has just started again back to school after two weeks off for Spring break.  Pray for her that she will be effective in teaching her kids in the ways of Jesus Christ.  It is always a mission field as there are always some parents who are not believers.

Carissa and Ocean are doing well.  Ocean is now standing walking many steps and seems to love it.  Fudge continues to administrate a church preschool. 

Ocean & "Opa" 

Cassie and “Trey” (Harold) seem to be doing well.  They have moved in with Joe’s parents as they have been having financial difficulties.

Josiah is back from the mission and living with us.  He is looking for work and hopes to possibly go with Carissa and Fudge to California to visit Cassie this summer.  Pray that he will continue to grow in the Lord.

We continue to live on the edge financially and appreciate your continued support.  If you know of anyone who would like to support this ministry you can have them send support in our name to:

Liebenzell Mission USA

May the Lord richly bless you are you continue to stay faithful to Him till the end.

 

In His hands,

Sandy Simpson & family
