"Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.” Based on the number of times this phrase occurs in the Psalms, this must have been the most popular praise and worship song for nearly a millennium. As a family, we can join God’s people in this refrain. It is a blessing to see our children building relationships and getting more comfortable in their new home. After having spent twelve years befriending Haitian children, it is not surprising that many of their new friends are from diverse backgrounds. We have enjoyed getting to know the parents of our children’s friends as well. Hannah has begun her sophomore year and will soon be driving and looking at colleges. Isaiah and Vivian are in seventh grade and Esther is in fourth (her final year of elementary school). Sharon has stayed very busy managing the children’s activities and going through some intense physical therapy. Zach’s travel schedule has sometimes been intense and the weight of learning about and leading the mission work of Resonate has often felt overwhelming. We are all consoled by the fact that our souls, our bodies, our aspirations, and the work that God calls us to all belong to him. We are simply stewards, co-laboring with the Holy Spirit. We continue to depend on your prayers and enjoy praying for you, our partners in mission. May God shine upon you this fall and give you his peace!
