Inside Glimpse: Machine Shop
Yes, that's me! This is a glimpse into our amazing machine shop at SonSet Solutions. Here, talented staff design and craft many things that have great impact around the world, such as water monitor components and antennas. This helps us keep our technology cost low and also allows us to try many novel and creative approaches to providing solutions.
The men who work here are highly motivated daily to use their gifts and abilities to bring blessings to many worldwide -- both to advance the good news of Jesus and to provide for physical needs. They love the Lord deeply and recognize the need to draw from Him what they need for fruitful, effective service. Every morning before staff devotions (yes before) these men and I come together to pray and seek the Lord's guidance, provision and strength for the day ahead.
In the photo above, one of the men is teaching me the basics on how to use a machine to do some cutting – and it's more complicated than I thought! It's a privilege to serve alongside these men and so many others at SonSet Solutions, who share the passion to advance the gospel worldwide!
Family: Rich Heritage
Psalm 127:3 calls children not a burden but a heritage and
reward. The Lord gives these precious little lives to us as a gift.It's a blessing from the Lord when He provides you a Godly mate.
Over time He may give you children. If so, you pray and He may graciously draw and save them. Then over time He may provide them with a Godly mate, and perhaps give them children as well.
We're in that grandparent stage and are deeply thankful for our children and grandchildren!
We are glad to be able to see most of our family on a fairly regular basis. We are sad that JR is a little too far away for some of these family events.
Praises
We have been encouraged by the good response to our printed and digital communication pieces. (Though since taking on the primary role in donation services, Jean is mostly just proofreading these pieces. However, she still enjoys being part of the process.)
We're continuing to be encouraged as we've seen so many people like you faithfully continue to partner alongside us in ministry. We love you, we pray for you, and we are deeply thankful for you. Together we're making an impact worldwide!
Requests
The worldwide chip shortage continues to cause major delays, particularly with our upcoming SonSet® radio with an audio Bible.
Please continue to ask the Lord to intervene for a breakthrough. There's a definite need!
There are several countries where we have partners that are enduring political and/or social unrest. Please join us in prayer for our partners who serve and minister in these places using our technologies. Pray for peace and that the message of hope would be clear to them.
