Murphy and Christine Crowson
We had a wonderful worship time with the Kpotonou church last Sunday. They didn't know we were coming and so it was a fun surprise when we drove up to their new building for worship. There were a lot of people there, some new faces since we left. God continues to bless them in their maturity and in their growth.

Christine started school this week with both Stephen (2nd Grade) and Matthew (Kindergarten). I spent four days in Accra, Ghana by myself while the vehicle was at the mechanics finishing all of the necessary repairs for things to run smoothly. I took advantage of the week and had some good refreshing times of prayer, bible study and planning for our future.

This coming week we will continue to visit churches and Christians, catching up on all of the "latest" in their lives and walk with the Lord.

Marty and Louise Koonce
The Koonces are enjoying their furlough in the States.

Anthony and Maureen Parker
We've been enjoying cool (low 80s) temperatures in Tabligbo this week. It's been a busy one, as we get ready to do some quick globe trotting over the next few weeks. Anthony will be flying to the States to take a course while Maureen and the boys will be traveling to Singapore. We plan to leave for Accra, Ghana on Wednesday. We'll be away from Tabligbo for about three weeks. We hope to see as many friends as possible while we are in our home countries.

We've been on the run this week, starting with worship at Nyitaveglovi, followed by a lunch at the beach on Father's Day. We discovered a great new place, but the memories have been somewhat dampened by the fact that Maureen and the boys got knocked down by a pretty big wave and Maureen fell and twisted her knee. It's not swollen, but has made walking painful. Anthony had good meetings with the Tabligbo elders and with church leaders from the region of Tabligbo and to the north. We made another trip to Lome this week for several errands, including taking Jonathan to the doctor for a stomach bug. Studying for his course and preparing Train & Multiply materials filled any spare moments.

Jeff and Brenda Holland
We are at the end of our furlough. Saturday the 25th, is our day to leave. We arrive in Ghana the night of the 26th. We may acclimate a day before driving to Togo.

Please pray for Rebecca. She got a little cold with a fever a couple of days before our departure. She is on an antibiotic and should be good to go.

Last week we had a visit from long-time friends and supporters, Gerry and Angela Smith and their children. eff then raced off to Houston to be with the Lakewood church in Baytown. We also had nice visits from former team teachers. Suzanne and her husband, Dale came on Tuesday. On Thursday, Heather Golightly and her fiancé came. We are also thankful for our old Camp Deer Run buddy, Jay Spencer who just happens to be our dentist. Just a little over an hour from Jeff's parents, he took care of some dental work for Jeff and Josiah. Then there was birthday celebrations for Josiah and Elli (a little early). So, you can see, we went out with a bang.

Thanks for your prayers.
