VBM Update From the Homebase - Week 37

These godly men have been a vital part of God's blessing and goodness upon VBM. Please take a moment to pray for them.
Visitors this Week
The Krueger’s, missionaries to Germany, visited campus last week. They are 70 and 72 years old, and the interesting thing is that they surrendered to God at 50 and 52 years of age. They are a couple that loves God, and what a joy to hear what God is doing through them.

Podcast Special
Over the weekend, I was blessed to preach at a missions conference with Missionary Ed Borell. He and his wife have served over 35 years in Costa Rica. They lost a son to Leukemia. They have been used of the Lord and have been great examples. The podcast is in the cue, and I think you will enjoy when it comes out.

Settled in Paraguay
Robbie and Lauren Prater found a vehicle and house, and in the picture above are signing contract to get into their new rented house. Praise the Lord!

Chinese in NY City
I so rejoice to see how God is using men and ladies around the world. God is blessing THE the team in NYC. I specifically want to say a giant thank you for the unsung heroes, the missionary wives. Praise God for their great hearts and service to our Lord and His ministry.

Golf Tournament!
Stephen Cofield has been a tremendous help in the past, and once again, has joined to help us plan for our 5th annual Golf Tournament. We will be spreading the word, looking for golfers, and contacting sponsors. Our goal with the proceeds will go towards professionally remodeling the gym to be an official basketball and volleyball court. It will be used for local Christian schools, churches, and VBM/VSM use. We are excited about what God is doing!
Our future is as bright as the promises of God!
