Memorial Day Weekend + Missions Update

This year's Memorial Day weekend was really special for us.  We were able to go to my parent's Lake House and spend some time with them doing the activities we love the most! 

We have not been able to go very often for many years because most of our summers are spent traveling on foreign missions, which has been wonderful. Being away always reminds you to cherish the moments you have with your family when you get to see them. And that's exactly what we did!

First, we were able to spend some much needed time with my sister, Honey Bear! She has been in my life for 11 years and I have missed her a bunch. She is getting older, but still precious nonetheless. 

And of course, Jason was able to get some much needed fishing time in! My dad and Jason went kayak fishing down a river near by with my Uncle Steve. Unfortunately, Jason caught about 15-20 more bass/fish than they did.  This did not make for a good evening to spend time with my dad.... But I was proud of Jase!

The next picture says it all! I was so happy to be back on the water in the kayak. My mom and i had a great time kayaking in the beautiful weather around our cove at the Lake. We were so blessed to spend this time down there with my parents.

Missions Update

Currently, we are in the planning process of organizing 3 trips to Ghana at HSM: July, August, November.  We have a team locked and loaded to go in July and we are currently seeking spots to be filled for the August and November trip.  I, Kathryn, will be going on the August trip if it works out and we get a team ready.  I would possibly return in November to go as well.  These will be 10 day trips and we will be doing construction work, painting and laying tile in the HSM Pastor Training Center. To see pictures of this center, please visit hsminc.org.

Many may not know, but I am currently still working as Missions Director at the Wade Center. This will be a difficult task to balance Wade Summer Missions while moving forward and working at HSM. My role at Wade will be done around the 1st week of August. Please pray for several things surrounding this:

1. I will be working 7 days a week for 8 weeks. please pray for strength.

2. Financial support. As Wade comes to a close, we believe God will continue to provide the support/financial gifts needed as we raise our own salary to work at HSM.

3. The hearts of the mission teams and Wade children as they learn more about the Love of Christ this summer.

Thank you so much for your continued support. If you have any questions, would like to learn more about HSM and what we do, or support us through prayer or financial means, contact us at: vicars4missions@gmail.com

so that all may know Him,

Kathryn
