The coffee shop is going strong lately! We’ve seen more customers walk through our doors this month. With a concert tonight, we’ll see even more people. Cameron and Chloe will be the opening group for a duo who will play folk songs, I believe.

The biggest change this month is having the O’Reilly family here! Our neighbor lady agreed to let them stay in her “Granddaddy House” which is kitty-corner to our home. They are able to have their own space, a tiny kitchen, and a separate bathroom. They got over jetlag after a week or so. After observing how Norman leads different groups he ministers to, Chris is “taking over” this week as part of his internship. Chris will have lots of new experiences and challenges ahead. Please keep him in your prayers!

Our kids are getting lots of experience learning how to take care of small children! It’s great for them! And it gives us adults a little break.

This past week, saw these ministry opportunities: * English conversation class  * Meet Christian friends for fellowship and fun  * Men’s discipleship Bible study  * Ladies’ Bible study and prayer time  * Sunday morning and evening Bible studies  * Meet another family to encourage and reach out to them  * Child care  * Discipleship training time with O’Reillys

Thank you for your continued prayers. We need them still! Pray especially for a Bible study I have on June 29th. Pray for God to open hearts to His Word.

Stay cool!
