April 2018 Prayer Letter

Dear Friends and Family,

Last month was a very busy month for us. We were privileged to be able to either present our ministry or give a furlough update in 8 churches in the states of FL, GA, SC, and TN. 2 of the meetings were for missions conferences. During the conferences, we also were able to preach in Christian School chapel. We also took a day to report back to the BIMI world missions center. We enjoyed getting to spend a little time with the directors and share what God has done on our first term. In between meetings, we drove over 2600 miles! We were pleased to find out that 2 new churches had voted to take us on for support! What an answer to prayer!

Although we stay super busy on the roads, life does not slow down or stop. Michelle stayed very busy with Lila and Ellowyn in their home schooling. Elijah is also coming along. He is now sitting up much better and should be crawling pretty soon. He also has grown his first tooth. It seems that everywhere we go, he always gets lots of attention! We took a little time to get things ready for doing our tax return, but ran into some problems. Although Elijah was born in Nicaragua, his social security card was mailed to the USA and was never delivered to our USA mailing address. We had to spend some extra time with the Social Security Administration to get his social security number so that we may file our taxes. Near the end of the month, we took a short trip up to GA to spend some time with Jeremy's family. We don't get to see them very often, so it was a blessing. We were also able to attend a special "Christ in the Passover" service at our home church. On Resurrection Sunday, we spent the day with Michelle's family. They all enjoyed getting to spend a little extra time with the kids.

We are so thankful for those who pray for us as we travel. This month, we will be in 9 churches, including 2 missions conferences. We will be traveling from South FL all the way up to KY, VA, and WV. This month, please pray...

1. That God keep us safe and healthy as we travel.

2. That God use us to bless the churches we visit and preach the Gospel to those who are lost.

3. That God continue to provide the remaining needed support before we return to Nicaragua in October.

In Christ,

Jeremy, Michelle, Lila, Ellowyn, and Elijah Blanz
