The Lord is good.
If you remember (or scroll down), our major concern as we prepare to visit the States was related to transportation. We were hoping someone in the Boston area knew of someone who was selling a vehicle or would let us rent theirs for a period of time. As it turns out, our friends in Buffalo have gone out of their way (literally) to loan us their SUV. The car seat situation has also been ironed out. We haven't even arrived and the Lord has provided for our biggest material needs. We are so thankful for generous friends and faithful supporters who have kept our family in their prayers!
As we prepare for our trip in less than two weeks, we ask for your continued prayers. Here are some specific requests:
- That the Lord would provide a spirit of peace for the whole family as we travel on August 31st and recover from jet lag afterwards.
- For Petra as she hits the ground running taking care of the majority of the logistical work related to our five month stay.
- For Jeremy as he begins a semester at Gordon Conwell on September 10th.
- For Enoh and Ian as they start preschool in new surroundings.
- For opportunities to say "thank you" to those who have supported us and present our ministry to those who want to join our efforts.
We are excited about what awaits us in Boston, but will certainly miss our church family in Orahovica. Please keep them in your prayers as well - especially Slobodan and Lidija (the pastor and his wife).
All of these requests we bring to your attention knowing that God will answer according to his will. As we have seen, he is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine. To God be the glory!
With thankful hearts,
Jeremy, Petra, Enoh, Ian and Emily Bohall
