Segaar-King July Update

Dear Friends and Family:

 

Greetings from Michigan!  We hope you are having a good summer!  We have been in Michigan the last five weeks now and are planning to leave for Haiti on August 9.  We are sorry if you haven’t heard more from us this summer.  It has been very busy catching up on a year’s worth of medical appointments and business.

 Please join us in giving thanks for:

-Some good news regarding our family’s health.  Sharon’s knee is healing well.  Unfortunately, we just found out that Hannah will have an operation on August 6 to remove three suspicious moles from her skin.

-Zach is making good progress on writing his dissertation—about 75 pages written!  All the time to do research and study Scripture has been refreshing.
-A great opportunity on the 27-29^th of July for spiritual renewal.  We spent the weekend at the Hermitage Community, a spiritual retreat south of Kalamazoo, MI.  We prayed, meditated and spent a lot of time enjoying good food, rest and God’s creation.

 Please join us in praying for:

-Hannah’s operation on August 6 (see above).
-Our safe return to Haiti on August 9 and the new school-year which begins on August 12.  Esther will be starting Pre-Kindergarten!
-An unbelievably demanding August filled with ministry events.  We will be teaching our theology students, hosting the second annual Music and Worship Conference, and attending the annual General Assembly of the CRC of Haiti.  Please pray for the Music and Worship Conference—many of the preparations need to be made in our absence.
-Our supporter and former pastor at Fuller Ave. CRC (who ordained us and baptized our children), Rev. George Vander Weit.  He has been missing from his home in southeast Michigan since the 5^th of July.
