Greetings from Bratislava, Slovakia! Yes, you read that correctly � Bratislava, Slovakia! This is where we served for almost eleven years with TWR. That is also where BERC was established and has ministered to many families since 2004. You may remember that BERC stands for Bratislava Educational Resource Center, which Roberta started at TWR�s request, to aid missionary families in Bratislava with educational needs. Just when we regretfully thought we would have to close BERC, Melanie (A BERC graduate) and her husband, Andrew, expressed the strong desire to come and continue the ministry! Please be praying for Melanie, Andrew, and Daska as they finish their schooling, raise support, and prepare to head overseas. Do you remember our prayer request in the previous prayer letter about discerning what God would have us do next? Well, God has answered. Recently, TWR approached me with an offer to take a newly forming position in Cary, North Carolina. Roberta and I will relocate to TWR headquarters in October. In this role, I will draw on what I have previously done through 26 years of TWR service. The position will have me working with many different TWR departments, TWR ministries, and TWR partners helping them have multiple uses for radio programs, videos, literature, etc. & enabling these items to be repurposed and redeployed greatly expanding their impact globally. I will be responsible for managing the western hemisphere involvement. Basically, I will be developing and managing a new digital warehouse, overseeing the receiving and distribution of material, as well as making sure it is properly organized and stored. Thanks for praying for us. What can you specifically pray for now? Four things we would appreciate prayer for: a God-directed solution about our house in Houghton � renters or buyers, the move and adjustments in North Carolina, housing there, and grace to learn all that is required in my new position. Being back here in Bratislava reminds me of the past ministries we have been privileged to be a part of, and yet is also testifies that the work is not done � much more needs to take place, whether through BERC or TWR or other avenues. Changes take place over the years, but one thing has not changed: people need the Lord. Thanks again for helping us serve Him, share Him and worship Him with our lives.
Serving Our Lord with You,
