Hello Everyone-
We are having a great time here in Haiti! We were able to pass out bibles, clothes, shoes and food today in a village in the mountains. Tomorrow we will be painting, fixing warehouse doors, moving rocks to fix the road.

Message from Bob & Bette Sue MacIsaac - Lithuania
Dear Friends,
The construction team from Ohio and Pennsylvania worked hard at camp. They finished the sewage system, built foundations for cabins, and other jobs that needed completed on the kitchen/cafeteria roof.
This month a team from El Paso, Texas will arrive June 15th to work on the kitchen/cafeteria. Please keep the workers in prayer as they concentrate to get as much done as possible in their time here.
The camp loan balance is now at $37,581.21. Seems like a lot more to pay off but we are very thankful for a lower balance and know that God will provide what is needed. Thank you for praying for this need and giving as you can.
You can check out our blog by clicking here.
The camp season will begin in June. Please be in prayer for all the campers and churches using the campgrounds. We want the presence of the Holy Spirit to minister to everyone that comes.
Have a wonderful day! We appreciate each one of you!!!!!!
God bless!
Bob and Bette Sue
Construction Teams - Needed in Argentina
Dear friends,
Between now and then, we need to see some major changes happen to our building. The building is ours, not rented, thanks to the efforts of Martha Lesperance, the former Castle director. So we are free to remodel it in order to best utilize its spacious interior. We need to build a couple of dorm rooms, a small apartment, and bathrooms. We will work in steps, as help and finances come in. We already have (most of) a kitchen… only lacking sink, counter and cabinets, so we are already on our way. J
Meanwhile, we will continue evangelizing, leading training seminars for both leaders and teens, and traveling to new areas to plant Castle ministry. Please pray about bringing (or sending) a construction team from your church to help us. We aren’t going to be able to take any evangelism teams until we get our building usable. Once we get some rooms built and bunk beds put into them, we’ll be able to house teams from the States much more economically. ( And, our Castilleros Extremos will be available to accompany evangelism teams.) But first, we desperately need construction teams coming with money to buy the materials they will need for that week. For those of you that can’t come, please pray with us that God’s dreams for Castilleros Extremos will come to pass for we have a lot of details to work out in the next 9 months.
Many blessings,
Kim and Shari Babcock

Thompson Trails - Missionaries to Kenya
The Kisumu school has been closed since November 2002, but will now be opening as a branch campus of E.A.S.T. (East Africa School of Theology).
The Assemblies of God has been very effective in following the 2 Timothy 2:2 principle: Train
faithful men who will train faithful men who will train faithful men who will train faithful men. This has been done by establishing Bible schools everywhere the Assemblies of God has sent missionaries. The Kenya Assembly of God is continuing to grow at a very fast rate, with a five year plan to double from 4000 churches to 8000 churches by 2014!
* We need pastors for these new churches!
* Pastors need to be trained in a Bible School!
* E.A.S.T. Kisumu Campus can house up to 96 residential students ‐ both men and women!
* Plans include both day and evening classes for residential and non‐residential students.
We are excited about having students back on the campus again! However, there is much to do before they arrive! Our assignment ‐ To get the school fixed, repaired, renovated, spruced up, cleaned up, and have it ready for classes in September 2009!
So much to do ... so little time!
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Windows are broken, toilets and showers don’t work, there is no refrigerator, the stove has been
trashed, and cooking is done outside on stones; Desks and chairs are broken or missing, and there is not enough dining room space, classroom space, or chapel space; New chalkboards, white boards, and other teaching necessities are needed; There is no library or computer lab! The dorms are in need of complete overhauling, with new mattresses, curtains, paint, and security doors. The entire campus needs to be painted, both indoors and out, and the yard needs a lot of TLC! The list goes on and on...
The costs of repairing and renovating are great!
WE NEED YOUR HELP TO GET THE BIBLE SCHOOL READY TO RE‐OPEN IN SEPTEMBER!
By investing in the renovation of the E.A.S.T. Kisumu Campus, you will be helping to train pastors to reach the lost in Kenya.

Dave & Audra Daniel - Missionaries to Germany
PUZZLE SEEDS GROW
We are seeing two families grow in grace and love.
It was a hot summer’s day as we began the first of many Puzzle performances. We were all excited, but also very hot! The temperature was near 40 Celsius! It was on that day that Jonas and his mother, Kristin first came into contact with the gospel and with us. A year later, they attended another Puzzle performance in their neighborhood park. Since September, 2008 Kristin has faithfully brought Jonas to our Friday afternoon kids program and Sunday church services!
Currently, Kristin is attending our Alpha course which teaches the basic tenets of our faith. We know that God is working in this family and are glad to see their interest and growth in the things of God.
Kristin has also been instrumental in another family coming to our kids program. The Busler family has been faithfully coming since the birth of their daughter, Zoey, in September. The whole family comes, Dad, Mom, two sons and baby Zoey. They also had attended a Puzzle outreach, but it is the friendship that Kristin has with Kathi that bridged the gap.
Your faithful partnership with us has enabled these families to be changed by God’s love. We are certain that God has many more families that He wants to change. Please pray that the seeds we have been able to sow will be brought to fruition for the glory of God.
Thank you for your faithful support in this endeavor.
PRAYER REQUESTS
Transitioning to another country is a big undertaking. We would ask for prayer concerning the
following:
๏ That the seeds we’ve planted in the lives of the kids would be watered and bring a harvest.
๏ A reliable car for itineration.
๏ New partners for this mission that will support us in prayer and finances.
๏ God’s peace and anointing on our family.

Glutting Prayer Letter - Chi Alpha Missionaries
Thank you again for your prayer and financial support. Below are Current Requests, below that are some updates from our previous prayer requests. Have a blessed week! :)
An Awesome Testimony
One missionary I am coaching was very discouraged and having difficulty. After sharing and praying with him, we talked about aggressively trusting the Lord for new provision. After much prayer the following day, his next 2 calls were pastors he hadn't contacted before. Each pastor pledged $100 per month! At times it's amazing how the Lord goes BEYOND "all that we can ask or imagine".
Your prayers are also helping to make a difference!
CURRENT REQUESTS:
Report Presentation
My final version report will be presented next week to the National Chi Alpha ELT (Executive Leadership Team). This will substantially take our coaching ministry to the next level. Please pray that the ELT response will be the Lord's direction and provision to expand the coaching ministry.
Website
Please pray for the Lord's help for us to get the developed website posted on-line within the next two weeks.
Automobile
The minivan I've been driving for 11 years with 160,000 miles is on it's way out. It's leaking antifreeze in a place that will enter the engine oil. As it would be too costly to fix (along with some other issues) the mechanic suggested we put it "out to pasture". Please pray with us for the Lord's provision for another vehicle.
Candidate Orientation
April 18-25 is our next orientation. I have one new teaching assignment. Please pray for the Lord's help for me to finish my preparation well. Pray that the Lord will prepare all of the U.S. Missions candidates for this week of training.
Candidates in the field
I'm currently coaching 10 missionaries. In these challenging times economically, please pray that each missionary will aggressively trust the Lord for new provision. Pray that God will provide well beyond "all that we can ask or imagine" by the power of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ!
UPDATES:
Soonho's car
We found a nice car for Soonho, but his finances diminished due to the dollar's value in Korea. It's nice that he has his license now, but he's had to put off buying a car for now.
Phil's FL trip
It went very well and the Lord has been doing great things in Phil's life. He's really pressing into his relationship with the Lord and he's been faithful in his devotional life. The trip was a real boost for him in these areas.
Matt's website
Matt did a good job on a website for me. The big challenge is getting it posted to the host site that is available free to me.
National Report
I submitted the report in paragraph form. I was then asked to change it to bullet form so it will be easier to present at the Executive Leadership Team. Yesterday I submitted the new version and it will be presented next week to the ELT.
The Lord bless you! In Christ's Love,
Gregg and Erin Glutting
