A translated Facebook post from Jacqueline about the event:

“Today is the Day, today is the time to fall in love again with your wife or husband and return to romanticism in your marriage. May God bless every couple who will live this experience, where God is the center of every relationship.”

Kenya Book Drive

The children of Kijabe Kenya have no access to a public library.  Our mission partners there, Bryce and Mary Beth Noblitt, are working to bless their community with a children’s library. 

The Missions Committee would like to thank everyone for a successful book drive.  Southside members donated 1,700 books, plus a full box of crayons and colored pencils. 

In addition to being donated, all these books had to be unloaded, sorted, cataloged for customs, packed into boxes, and loaded again.  Many of you helped with this huge project. In combination with three other participating congregations, we now have over 6,000 books in 98 boxes ready to be delivered to Samaritans Purse on Tuesday for transportation to Kenya.

The Noblitts have reported the library space, which has been empty for decades, has been renovated with fresh paint and flooring.  Construction of bookshelves begins this week.  They look forward to blessing their community in a way they have not been blessed before.

March report from Pedro Sanchez

Hello dear friends, I hope you are well with God’s help.

We traveled from March 7 to April 1 to the United States with the evangelist of the church of Christ the Los Nogales Masaru Guzman. I want to thank God for my dear friend Masaru. It was a great instrument and a blessing for all of us.

News from Dave & Julie Eberhard

Their April newsletter includes information about future travel plans:

“…in the fall, there is a big trip to Asia where Dave is involved in 4 different projects. This will cover about 4-6 weeks, so I [Julie] will go with him. He’ll start in Penang, Malaysia with a conference where he and his colleague will present a paper on the impact and use of Bible translation in Indonesia.

During the conference he will also be meeting with his “Journey” team. They will be doing a training session for missionaries who work with endangered languages at the end of the conference. Then we’ll fly to Ku-ching, Malaysia, to do an Ethnologue workshop to update our information on minority languages there.

After that we’ll have a few free days where we hope to be able to see our son Rutti in Japan, since it’s in the “neighborhood.” Then on to Mae Sot, Thailand, on the border of Myanmar, to lead another Journey workshop with minority communities from Myanmar.
