Dear Friends and Family:
In the Old Testament, the Lord instructed the people of Israel to give their lands “rest” on every seventh year, “Six years you shall sow your field…but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land (Lev. 25:3-4).” While this was never practiced faithfully by God’s people, the principle of “rest in the Lord” can be found throughout Scripture. While we will be very busy over the next six months of our home service as we visit with churches, supporters and family, we pray that God would give his rest so that we can return to Haiti refreshed for ministry. We hope too that you have had an opportunity this summer to “rest in the Lord” if you haven’t already.
Please join us in giving thanks for:
-Our safe and timely arrival in Grand Rapids, MI. We give thanks to God that we were able to get everything packed up!
-A successful week of being the speakers at the Christian Reformed Conference Grounds in August. Our presentation was entitled, “Four Steps to Help Your Church Do Good in Her Community.” We had good attendance and interest for the whole week.
-The beginning of the school year for our three oldest children who are enrolled at Grand Rapids Christian Elementary School.
Please join us in praying for:
-Preparations for our church visits this fall. Visiting with churches and supporters provides the moral, prayer and financial resources for our ministry to happen.
-Pray for safety for our upcoming visit to Israel where we will be touring biblical sites for eight days with a group of pastors.
-Pray for rest, renewal, and opportunities to learn and grow in ministry. We plan to attend conferences, take some courses and do some independent study.
Thanks for your prayers and support,
Zachary, Sharon, Hannah, Isaiah, Vivian and Esther Segaar-King
