We wanted to share with you some of the wonderful moments we have had with cherished family and beloved friends. We have tucked each moment into our hearts to help strengthen us on our journey back over the ocean to the mission field of the Philippines.
We will treasure the moments we spent together ... all the laughter and love and even the tears. You are all more precious to us than we know how to express.
We have had the sorrow of saying good bye to Nate's dear mother and the joy of expectation of a new little life into our family with the wonderful news of Nick and Aubrey's baby that is due to arrive in July.
We have traveled from the west coast to the east of our great nation seeing those we love and having the honor of meeting many new people. We have experienced an out pouring of goodness from all. You all have helped us in so many generous and thoughtful ways. None will be forgotten.
We have also had the joy of ministering to many people and seeing bondages of fear and pain and torment broken by the truth and love of Christ. A woman in California no longer wants to die - but live. A man in the East no longer harbors anger in his heart for past abuses but is free and feels the peace of God in those areas. A woman in the East is free from debilitating fear that kept her alone and withdrawn. A man on the West coast is free from shame and has joy instead and peace. A marriage now has hope instead of being filled with anger and resentment.
These are just some of the highlights of our times of ministering the truth of God's freedom available to all through Christ's love.
We pray God's protection over each of you. God's favor, His wisdom in all things pertaining to your life and that you experience the love He has for you richly and deeply in your everyday lives.
The sweetest of God's blessings ...now and always.
The Troias
