ICU. Unfortunately we are starting our update
with bad news this week. Rusty’s Papaw has been admitted to the
hospital in Arkansas and is in ICU. They are fighting to keep fluid off
is lungs, and his kidneys are not working well. He was showing some
improvement yesterday, and we are hoping he will improve enough to move
to a regular room and go home soon! Will you please pray for healing?
Pray also that God will protect him from any germs floating
around…the ‘Swine Flu’ has hit Arkansas hard lately.

40 degrees. I know you Southerners reading this
think I’m lying, but it was in the LOW 40’S last weekend! It’s been in
the low 50’s (at night) the rest of the week…not at all what I am
used to this time of the year! I am trying to soak up the sun that’s
still around in the day and praying the warmth lasts just a little
longer!

Hello Mac. GOD PROVIDES!!! Last year you heard about Rusty’s computer being STOLEN AT GUNPOINT.
Last week we told you Rusty’s hand-me-down computer died. After several
days of discussing our options, we had peace about finally fixing his
computer need by investing in a Macbook. There were many reasons he
needed a Mac:
Last week we told you Rusty’s hand-me-down computer died. After several
days of discussing our options, we had peace about finally fixing his
computer need by investing in a Macbook. There were many reasons he
needed a Mac:
1– It will last longer than any other computer,
2– It is the only computer we can take overseas without ruining it with viruses, and
3– It will allow him to get back into VIDEO EDITING!
Rusty is a great videographer and has told many stories from around the
world. Unfortunately, his talents have been wasted the past year
without the tools he needed! So, with the financial help of some of our
GREAT supporters, friends, and family, we were able to purchase a
used/refurbished Macbook Pro. Rusty already has some great video ideas,
so keep an eye out for exciting things to come! 🙂
GO TIGERS! No, not the AUBURN TIGERS…the DETROITTIGERS! For Rusty’s birthday (August 17th) he got tickets to a Detroit
Tigers Major League Baseball game. We worked last weekend so we could
take off Thursday and head down for the game. It was my first MLB game
and I must admit I had a good time! In a sea of orange and blue fans
yelling “GO TIGERS” I felt like I was back in Auburn! The day was made
even better by a former AUBURN TIGER, Clete Thomas, hitting a two-run
triple during the game!
Can you hear me now? Last week’s
computer crash really made work difficult for Rusty. The good news is,
he made up for it this week! With his new computer he’s been organizing
information and being VERY productive! Rusty made over 60 calls this
week to potential World Racers; sharing his story, ministering to them,
and answering their questions about The World Race. It’s exciting to
see him recruiting new missionaries to go out and be the hands and feet
of Christ to the nations!

86/310. 86 is the number of handwritten support letters I finished this week. 310
is the number I have left to do. Will you please pray for productivity
as I work on this time-consuming task? Please also pray that God will
prepare the hearts of those receiving our notes. We want our supporters
to feel loved, appreciated, and needed. We want those who are not
supporting us to be moved to join our ministry! We want to continue
doing the work God has called us to do and we know He can provide!

Well, that’s all this week folks! Please keep
us in your prayers next week as Rusty is traveling down to GA for work.
It will be the first time we’ve been away from each other since we were
married!
