This story starts a month and a half ago. We were over at a neighbor's house to pick up boys for boys group. The boy’s grandma told us that she needed some help patching some holes in her walls. She had drywall, but nothing else. I (Kevin) told her we could help them out.

 

John, Kaitlyn, and I (George) stopped by a modest yard sale put on by four young neighborhood girls. They were probably between 6 and 10 years old. They were a little downhearted because they hadn't earned anything yet. We prayed that God would send them business and help them earn some money.

 

The three Missionary Company brothers who moved from Evansville to Allendale are now living in a house on Harvard St. that is directly behind the home of Ron and Ruthanne Seitz. Recently graduated Joe Bulger has also joined the Missionary Company and moved in with them.

 

Recently, Ellen, Kaitlyn, and I (Evan) were out doing new mission work. We started the day with several doors that didn’t open. We came up on one porch and heard a dog barking after our knock. I asked the team if any words were coming to mind. A sister had the word, “Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding.” The door opened part way.

 

Paul and Andrea Kane came to visit Evansville this past weekend! They joined us for mission work on Friday. Before going out, Andrea shared a word she got in prayer. She saw a woman, sitting alone and wearing a duster house coat. As I (Mary) listened to her share the word, I knew exactly who she was talking about.

 

The power of the Holy Spirit on display. Thank you Lord for your steadfast love and your powerful presence.

 

Paul and Evan were out doing mission on a cloudy Wednesday afternoon when it began to pour down rain. They decided to visit a nearby neighbor, Bruce, and see if he was up for talking.
