Goodbye Germany 

While we are all sleeping tonight, Dave will be getting up and taking an early flight to Germany. The flight itself is about an hour and a half. He'll be spending a week there to help a missionary Pastor and his wife. Please pray for safe travels, for a good week of ministering in Germany and for safe travels back to Italy. Most importantly, please pray that God would give the increase!

We appreciate your prayers so much!

My Favorite Story

Dave is texting me .... regularly..... and I love it! I'm thankful for an unlimited texting capability while he's there!

One of the things he texts me is how his day is going and who he's been talking to, giving Bibles to, etc...

I LOVE hearing the stories...and of so many people from all over the world. The hardest part is trying to tell you all the stories too!

One story Dave told me a couple days ago is my favorite so far!

There is a man that he has seen year after year for the last 4-5 yrs. He walks like his dog has been run over and he's moping through life. Dave has tried to make him smile when he sees him. Last year, he was able to make him smile and he gave him a John and Romans in Italian. One day this last week, he saw him pass by. The next day, he said "Good Morning" in Italian and the man looked up. His eyes got bright and he was excited as he recognized Dave! As much as Dave could tell, the man was telling him how happy he was to have the John and Romans.  He told Dave that he was not Catholic and that he went straight to Jesus!

We may never know this man's full story until we get to Heaven, but it was an encouragement to me and a blessing. Please keep praying! Please pray that there will be more stories like this one and that more and more will be so excited to have the Word of God in their hands.

Dave had a birthday on Sunday! Thanks to all who prayed for him and sent him a text!

I was blessed to be able to go to Oak Lane Baptist Church in Arkansas, and put up a ministry booth. The greater blessing was being able to hear some good preaching and being ministered to.

God is always good and worthy to be praised! Posted by Travelin Pilgrim at 5:19 AM No comments: Links to this post 

It is amazing the different people from all over the world that Dave meets in Rome. This last weekend was no exception. It is the main reason we go to Italy around Easter.

His weekend began with the Good Friday service that is at the Coliseum. While there, he talked with Emily and Caroline. They were from Mizzou and TCU. They took a DNA and the Bible dvd.

A guy from Senagal was selling trinkets near by and noticed what Dave was doing. He came up and asked Dave for a tract. He spoke French and so Dave gave him a John and Romans in his language.

A couple, Gabor and his wife, came from Hungary. They were Catholics and Dave was able to talk with them for about 20 min.

On Sunday, Dave made sure he was near all the Easter festivities. Michelle, from Ireland, is in a crisis and needs prayer. She says she wants to know God. Dave gave her a New Testament and she is very eager to read it and seek after God.

A Russian couple came and talked with Dave. They had a little boy with them. Dave gave them a tract and then after they had walked off, he remembered that he had a John/Romans in Russian. They were still close by so he rushed off to catch them! Please pray that they read God's word!

There are so many more stories just like these.... all people God has created and loves and wants to be in a relationship with. Please continue to keep Dave in your prayers!

*** On the Home Front ***
We are all doing well. We're missing Dave but happy to be praying and doing what is needed so he can be the hands and feet of Jesus! We will be at Oak Lane Baptist Church's Annual Camp Meeting this weekend with a table for the ministry. Please pray for our hearts there.
