Coming home on furlough.
Dear Praying Family, |
|
It has been almost 4 years since we left for the mission
field. Hard to believe! Time does fly, especially when you’re
watching your children grow.
Benjamin loves holding his head up and looking around (he’s rather wobbly
of course).He also slept for 6 hours straight one night. We’re hoping
he’ll do that again sometime soon.
Alison prayed all by herself the other day! She decided she wanted to thank
God for her food so she folded her hands, bowed her head, and said, “Jesus… thank
you… cracker… amen!”

We originally planned to return to the States
for our first furlough in December. However, we will be coming
back on
November 4th for Angela’s brother’s wedding ceremony!
We will be in the States until October of 2009. Please contact
us if you would like to schedule meetings for specific dates.
Our priority is to visit all our supporting churches, but
please pray that we will also be able to share the ministry
in Peru with new churches as we need to raise a significant
amount of additional support. We are very grateful for the
wonderful way God has provided for us and the ministry here
in Peru through the sacrificial generosity of many of you.
Thank you for praying for my dad after his accident last
month. We’ve felt God’s peace and help throughout
this difficult experience and have seen God’s hand
in the details. We’re waiting for the judge to decide
whether the case will go to court, but all indications are
that things will be resolved without further complications.

| The earthquake recovery project continues. We
expected to be a lot further along by now, but bureaucracy,
paperwork, and construction delays continue to drag things
out. Yet God has provided and we expect to celebrate the inauguration
of the new church building for the Living Hope Baptist Church
in Subtanjalla, Ica on October 11! |
 |
Please pray for a smooth transition as we
wrap up responsibilities at our church and seminary, try
to find a place to store
everything, and travel back to the States. We need to find
a house to rent in the Tunkhannock, PA area and buy a reliable
car for furlough travel. If anyone has any leads, please
let us know! 
In Him,
Jonathan, Angela, Alison, & Benjamin Stone |
