Thurman Update #20 (Written June 8th, 2006)

Greetings from Baltimore !
I am here for five days for Antioch Networks bi-annual staff meetings. I came out a day early to help make all the arrangements and spent all of yesterday making 1 & ½ hour round-trip airport pickups. Thus the day in the life of part of the ways I serve within AN. Today was the first official day and it has been wonderful. Our time together are not planning meetings, but more accurately a five day prayer meeting where we seek Gods heart and planning is a bi-product of our time with God!

I write to you to once again thank you for walking this year-long journey with us! I also write to ask that you be praying for our family. We are at a critical time with needing to discern Gods next step for us. I just received a phone call from the non-profit organization that is building our home stating that we may no longer qualify for a loan for the house, because we do not make enough income. Please pray very specifically that God would increase our support through AN or that God would open up a part-time job that would supplement our income!

I also wanted to share Gods miraculous provision for us. Two weeks ago we felt the Lord calling us to move out of Noleens parent’s house. We set the date for June 1, not knowing where we would go or how we would afford a place for the summer. It just so happens that on June 1st the Tannous house opened up for us to move into for the summer. They are allowing us to pay what we can afford for the summer. We will be staying there until mid-August and Lord-willing our home will be ready to move into in September and we will have means for the loan so we can move in!

Thank you so much for your prayers, love and support!

We are so Grateful!

Love the Thurman Family

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
