     At the height of W. W. II, when the intense pressure of war was on Douglas MacArthur and his troops, he stated: “The enemy is in front of us.  The enemy is behind us.  The enemy is to the right and left of us...They cannot escape now!”  Wow, what perspective!  Some see negative circumstances through their own human-limited perspective and thus grow weary and faint. Others take advantage of negative circumstances and use them as springboards for opportunities.  They see their circumstances through God’s perspective and realize that when God enters the equation, negative circumstances melt like wax (Psalm 97:5) and “through God we shall do valiantly (Psalm 60:12).”
     Last month, we shared about the opportunity God is giving us as believers to share the Gospel with literally millions of children in the 80,000 public schools across America..  Currently, the Child Evangelism Fellowship has Bible Clubs in 2% of the elementary schools in the United States (1,346 public elementary schools).  ETI is in contact with CEF to see how we can join hands to help reach the other 98%.  PLEASE PRAY as we seek His direction and details in this endeavor. We sincerely desire the best strategies to reach the multitudes of children and youth.
    The Lord has opened up an opportunity to go to South Africa with our home church in September. Going to train the nationals would be our main goal.  We also will be witnessing in orphanages and preaching in crusades.  We desperately need the LORD to provide us the $3,000 for this trip.  PLEASE PRAY with us on this. We desperately await the Lord's provisions as we also PRAY for an additional $5000 a month to help us bring many visions to reality.     
    Our recent training at the Punta Gorda Alliance Church was such a blessing.  Although this is a small church, the training was successful.  There were 18 people who attended and 5 individuals who prayed to receive Christ as Savior.  Thanks Cliff and Mary Ann Watt for all of your hard work!
      Thank you all for your love and support.  We are encouraged to see what God is doing through the jail ministry, the Thursday night Bible studies and the many contacts by way of the web.  Please take a look at the web site...there are many practical helps available to you.  We saw an additional 20 people who accepted Christ this past month.  PLEASE PRAY as we desperately await God's provisions for an additional $5000 a month to help us bring visions to reality.  God is working and we look forward to what He has planned ahead within the next few months.

Your friend and co-laborer in Jesus,
