Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. John 15:4 (ESV)
It's impossible to obey the Great Commission without living John 15:4. Remaining, residing and abiding in Jesus is not only essential to being fruitful, but it is the true mark of a disciple. We've been reminded of this truth in several ways this spring and have been exhorted to live it out in the midst of a busy and challenging time of our life.
Here's a quick update on what's going on:
Personal:
The doctors in America gave Petra a different due-date than the doctor in Croatia did. Regardless of which one the baby listens to, we're within a couple weeks of meeting our fourth child. For whatever reason, this has been the most difficult pregnancy for Petra. Pray that the Lord would give her strength, and periodic moments of rest and relief as she gets closer to giving birth.
Ministry:
During the latest annual meeting, Jeremy was elected the associate pastor and worship leader of our church. In accepting these responsibilities, his focus has turned more towards church leadership. He is currently involved in laying a foundation for discipleship groups our church hopes to launch in the fall.
As you remember our family in prayer we ask that you pray that we would remain in Christ. He is the hope around which our ministry revolves.
Thank you for your prayer and support!
