By God’s grace we just finished the busiest month of summer 2022! With the strikes lifted the end of June, we were able to put on the calendar many different outings and events. And yes! Looking back over the last few weeks we definitely see God’s hand of provision and strength making each day possible. Here’s a bit of a picture book so you can see what we’ve been up to:
July 6th the interns from Liebenzell USA arrived for their month here in Ecuador.
July is also the month of our anniversary: God has blessed us with 33 years together!
July 10th, we had a full house for the graduation of the King of Glory course students.
Much fun was had at the beach outing for the graduated students and their children.
We had a beautiful day with our mission coworkers as we gathered to say farewell to our German Impact team and the Ruf family (leaving for a year of home assignment in Germany).
The last week of July we had three crazy days of VBS programs….
8:00 a.m. each day in Rio Verde and 11:00 in Palmira.
What a good crowd of kids we had, totaling about 100 in Rio Verde and 50 in Palmira. The kids (along with us as well!) had so much fun! Some of the kids invited their mothers to come; one mother commented to us, “The kids just laughed and smiled and played so much!” We pray that the Bible truths that we taught take root in their young hearts.
A special farewell at the hot springs for Michael and Morriah (along with Faith & Marcel Friess, who work in the town of Atuntaqui and have helped with the interns the last two summers). Michael is from Guam and Morriah is my cousin’s daughter, which made the summer extra fun!
I started the month of July hobbling on my crutches as my broken ankle was still healing. By God’s grace I made it through the busy month, squeezing in my physical therapy sessions wherever they fit in our busy schedule. Thankfully I am now able to get around well, although I continue to do more exercises to strengthen my ankle and leg muscles. I’m now working on losing the limp. Thanks for your prayers for continued recovery!
In HIS grip,
Kevin & Kathy
