Dear Friends,                                                             June 10, 2014

   Usually I write a report of the previous meeting. But I failed to take notes at the last meeting (April 5, 2014) – so what I share will just be “to the best of my memory”.

   Paul Burkholder opened the door of Forest Hills Church for the meeting. We gathered to praise our wonderful Lord. Don Jacobs shared a devotional from the Word.

   Monicah Muikia, from Kenya gave her testimony (in Kikuyu) and Rose Mbugua interpreted for her. Monicah’s father owed money to a man who was married. Instead of giving money he gave Monicah (at age 16) to this man. 3 children were born to this union.  Later, she was saved by the Lord Jesus and in reading the scriptures felt this arrangement was not pleasing to the Lord. She left the home. The man’s first wife did not want to raise the three children – so Monicah raised her children as a single mother, prayed for them and led them to Christ and put them all through school!  People told her that she would some day be begging on the streets – but this never happened and today she is married to Eliud Muikia, a brother in the Lord and who has been a successful business man.

   Eliud Muikia also gave testimony – telling how God saved him and helped him to make restitution to his employer. Instead of being fired he was given promotions. After his first wife passed away (the mother of 4 sons - Samuel attends these meetings faithfully),two years ago God led him to marry Monicah, who had walked alone for many years. They are rejoicing together in the LORD !

   Helen Apio Sabiiti from Philadelphia area brought her Mother to the meeting. She and her mother sang praise to the Lord in a Uganda language - with great joy.

   Tim and Miriam Nissley (our oldest daughter) of Charlottesville, Virginia, each shared testimony of God’s faithfulness. Miriam read from her journal words the Lord has been speaking to her.

   Becky Maust Kurtz was blest in hearing Rose interpret for Monicah and seeing that Helen was interpreting for her Mother! Becky takes pleasure in  preparing lunch following these meetings.

   We have just learned of the passing of our sister, Lucille Mann Wolgemuth. Her Memorial service is 10 a.m. June 28 at Messiah Village in Mechanicsburg.                                Wayne Lawton
