JUNE 2013
Life Eternal – Sicily
Dear friends and prayer warriors,

By the time you receive this report you would have celebrated our Nations celebration on the Fourth of July with family, friends, and plenty of hot dogs and hamburgers with all the trimmings.

We are reminded of the liberty that we have because someone gave his life. With this I am reminded of our freedom we have from the condemnation of sin because of The One that gave His life so that we might have life, and life eternal.
Summer is finally here and it seems it is going to be a different summer than usual because of the weather changes, hot and then cold, so we will see. The volcano, Mt Etna has finally settled down a bit and has been silent and the only noticeable thing has been the white smoke from the top, so all is well.

Hello guys here the report for May .
First of all thank you Betsy for the not so good news about our support, we will pray and serve still.
Matt 10:40-42
Again we are thankful and privileged to serve with you here in Sicily in expanding His Kingdom.
May started with Giuseppe still on meds for bronchitis, we are grateful to God that now he is doing much better and no more medicine is required .
With the help of some believers we are helping a local pastor in building him a lean to shed at his house (pics 1,2).

At the same time we are holding the Italian men’s study at his house too
( photo 3). It is great to see the willingness of these believers to want to grow and to encourage them to share their faith in their community.

We are still collecting clothes and food for the needy and this allows us to share the Word (photo 4).

The singles group that Giuseppe minister alongside with a brother from Texas is growing too. This past Tuesday they met at our house for a meal and study, again we see God’s hands at work in these young men’s lives ( photo 5,6).

Recently we received a blessing from a believer from Belgium , she has given us the use of her apartment in the town of Cefalu’ for a year where we can relax and regain strength and refuel. It is a two hour drive from Belpasso.
This has been a welcomed gift so we can allow ourselves to get away and spend sometime resting. By the way if you come and visit the apartment is available to you too.
This because you prayed.

From the Collesanos – June 3, 2012

April showers bring May flowers except if you live in Belpasso. Sicily’s Mt. Etna has had 12 or 13 eruptions since the beginning of the year. It’s beautiful to see and it reminds us Who is in control of creation! Who is in control of our lives and of those whom we come in contact with on a daily basis. 

Like the lava that flows or the steam that comes from different vents in the volcano, so too God’s love is flowing out from many different venues around us. We have been working hard with many groups in order to provide for those in need.
