ahhh, America. The land of travel and adventure.
In July we spoke in 11 different churches. So many friends in so many places! We're half way though August now, and only spoken in two churches so far this month, but we also helped out with General Council in Florida. We spent most of Council in the Eurasia booth, speaking with many interested folks; some of those folks are interested in coming to help us in the Russian Far East. Please pray for us that the Lord of the Harvest will send laborers into the harvest field.
Do you know anyone who is called to this part of the world? If so, let us know!
While driving up from General Council, we were able to hit the beach in South Carolina for about an hour.
We've been blessed to see the Atlantic Ocean more than once this itineration. In July we spoke at a church on Ocracoke Island, and were able to stay an extra day. Our kids got to make new friends and had a great time.
Here's some of those friends on Ocracoke Island. Can you tell which ones are Eshelmans?
Most of our time in the States has been spent traveling, speaking, contacting pastors and filling out reports. If you'd like us to come to your church and speak, just contact us. Don't worry about the traveling and filling out reports part, we'll do that ourselves.
Oh, did Diana turn into the Cat in the Hat?
Please continue to pray for the ministry in Russia. The Lord has given us a wonderful team of volunteers who continue the work while we are Stateside. After all, this is the Lord's work and doesn't belong to any single person.
Blessings,
Cecil, Tonya, Timothy, Vera and Diana
