What's been happening:



Greetings from Sultry Surabaya! The weather is turning hotter here as the cloudy, rainy days are becoming less & less frequent. We are hanging in there, but praise the Lord for air conditioning!!! Hot season is officially here.
Yesterday I (Jon) took Drew to a nearby city to meet with an ex-pat Speech Therapist who has graciously agreed to see him periodically. She told us that he is making great progress and that we just need to continue to work with him as we have been. Thank you for your prayers for little Drew. He is now wearing “big boy” underpants during the day. Dad is really stoked about that!  Please keep praying for Drew. Pray that he would continue to progress in his development both physically and intellectually. But most of all, pray that he would grow in wisdom and discernment. Thank You!

What's coming up:

 
Raegan and Jon will be taking a trip across the island to meet with our future partners. We are so excited to get to know them better. Pray that we would be an encouragement to them. Please pray for our kids while we are away too and the families they will be staying with.
I mentioned in our last newsletter that we will be hosting a summer team from OU for two months. We will also be welcoming a team from Texas for the month of June. Primarily, they will be focusing on building relationships with college students. Please begin to pray now that God would introduce them to young people who are ready to hear the Good News and that they would be able to communicate it clearly to their friends.
Thanks for the many ways you support us, but most of all we appreciate your prayers for us! May God’s Kingdom come to Surabaya!
