Water Monitors

 

 
SonSetLink®

Cody Hall recently returned from Honduras, working with Healing Waters International (HWI). Cody was able to install and train at three sites in Honduras. Fraternidad, Mercedes and Sante Fe were updated with the new model of SonSetLink monitor that is solar poweredThe Healing Waters ministry builds holistic clean water solutions and spreads God’s love in at-risk communities around the world, empowering people not just to survive, but to thrive – physically, socially and spiritually. Projects are sustainable and provide long-lasting development in the community.  In addition, please pray with us that as these three HWI locations will be able to demonstrate the gospel being lived out by meeting physical needs as well as spiritual needs.

 
 

 
 
Our call to missions – 13 years and counting:
Thirteen short years ago, we started missions service. This was the start in understanding the true nature of effective and fruitful ministry – flexing and stretching.

John's career and training was in software development and business. He started mission service in software development, but over time assumed a variety of other roles – I.T. duties, chaplaincy, and Personnel Director. Jean's career and training was in nursing. Yet over time she assumed a variety of non-nursing roles, most recently head of Donation Services.

How did we both end up in roles that years ago we never could have imagined? It's nothing other than the Lord's calling and enabling – and our being willing to answer the call. The Lord stretches and grows us, pushing us beyond perceived limits, so we may be increasingly fruitful and faithful. The life and ministry of a believer is not designed to stagnate – not even in retirement. We don't know what the future holds, but we do know who holds the future.

A call to missions:
The need for workers in ministry is great – and nothing new (Matt. 9:38) Who can the Lord use for the cause of world missions? Anyone He chooses and calls! Callings are tricky, but often are borne out over time, circumstances, and wise counsel.

We have many needs for kingdom workers at SonSet Solutions. If you sense the Lord might be calling you, we encourage you to take a step of faith and give us a call. We'd love to share opportunities for service – on site or even remotely. We are united to work together so that others may come to know Christ, choose to follow Him, and have true peace that comes from knowing Christ as our personal Savior.
 
 

 
 
Family Update (or look at our cute grandkids):
Grandparenthood remains one of our greatest joys.



 
 
 
 
 Praises
  • Checkpoint Bible Camp was a blessing; three campers came to know Christ and others recommitted their lives to Him.
  • Jean's radiation is complete. She had her last treatment on Friday, August 25. We are praising the Lord that she feels normal and was able to keep up with the schedule well. 
 
Requests
  • Please continue to pray for our church in Elkhart as we transition from our pastor of many years to an interim pastor.
  • A couple of weeks ago, John suddenly experienced low back pain. An MRI showed a bulged disc and pinched nerve. John is scheduled for a cortisone injection in September and may possibly have physical therapy.
