April 2012 Prayer Letter

Dear Friends and Family,

It is already time for our April prayer letter, and as I reflect upon what God has done throughout March, it reminds me of how good God is. Last month was a very busy month for us. We drove over 4,500 miles to be in scheduled meetings and missions conferences in nine churches throughout FL, AL, TN, and even NJ. We were involved in everything from teaching Sunday School, singing, preaching, Children's church, visitation, and many other things. One new church began supporting us last month, and others have committed to supporting us in the future. We also were able to book more meetings in AL, NC, VA, and MA.

Although missionary deputation involves lots (and I mean lots) of traveling and hard work, it also has some perks. Because we travel to so many places, we are able to see places that we would otherwise never be able to see. We were able to see historic Philadelphia, eat a real Philly Cheesesteak, visit New York City, and even take a brief family trip to Lookout Mountain. We were also able to visit some family for a few days while we were in TN. Lila is now 6 ½ months old, 15 lbs, and is much more mobile than ever before. She is loved and adored at every church we go to.

Thank you for those who prayed specifically for our safety last month. We drove through some bad storm systems last month, and one of the towns we were in was devastated by a tornado the night before we arrived. Please pray for the following:
  1. The families that were impacted by the tornadoes.
  2. That God will continue to give us safe travels
  3. That God will help us seize every opportunity to share the Gospel
  4. That God will help us raise the support we need to get to Nicaragua.
In Christ,

Jeremy and Michelle Blanz
