Louis Higgins and Tom McKleroy from Oxford, Alabama, came over to visit with Shadira. The church in Oxford supports work with the church on Curacao and realized that lots of members head over to the Netherlands, where they have difficulty with their faith. So they have made an effort to meet with the members of the church with ties to Curacao who live in the Netherlands.
On another evening we were all invited to dinner at Philip and Susanne's house in Liege. They have moved to Belgium from Germany and want to be a part of God's family wherever they are. Susanne, who is still studying about and considering what it means to give her life to Christ, has made friends with Mishell - a Philipino woman who has recently married a Belgian. So we had quite an international evening together with some good food and great conversation.It is thrilling to see how God brings us together and helps make a real family - wherever we are!
I am so glad that Philip and Susanne have made contact with you guys! My parents and I worshiped with them in Frankfurt and then later (my parents) in Wiesbaden. They are such sweet people! Philip was instrumental in helping us request funds from Wiesbaden while we were in Chemnitz. Next time you see them, please tell them Ed and I said hello!
