Flowers for the Sailor’s Memorial Day
Dear Friends,
“…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God Who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”
Philippians 2: 12b-13

Like a coach, Paul is encouraging us not to let up, not to grow weary, but to continue pressing on in our call from God. If we don’t stay aware and diligent, we can become lazy and negligent in our Christian walk. We need to call on the Holy Spirit within us to bring transformation in our lives. Let us stay faithful and mindful that the God Who called us to Himself will complete His work in us! Phil. 1:6

Speaking of work, we are down to the final days of this school year’s hot lunch program in the small Mexican towns of Boca de Tomatlan, Quimixto, and Yelapa. This will complete our FIFTH YEAR, with nearly 150,000 meals shared with a lot of hungry children and their teachers.

This year, a men’s missions team was able to paint two schools. Visiting friends helped hand out clothing, school supplies, tooth brushes and toothpaste, and sports equipment. We also assisted with the big Mother’s Day and Father’s Day Celebrations, and gave lots of love and support to our cooks, helpers, teachers, and kids. We are especially happy that the kids have learned to pray and often take the lead in blessing the food.
We want to again say, “Thank You!” for your faithful giving, your prayers, and your time given to help us serve the schools while you are vacationing in Vallarta.

Please pray for healing as Sandra is recovering from a nasty fall that bent back her right hand and split open three fingers, requiring over 15 stitches, and will take some time to rehabilitate.

We also ask for your prayers for the ‘Great Gospel Festival’ happening in Kabale, Uganda, East Africa July 6-10th. The Light to the Nations team, of which I am part, is ready. We are believing God for a miraculous time with hundreds of thousands coming to know Jesus. You can follow our time there at www.alighttothenations.com . Pray for anointing, the people, financial provision, protection, and miracles!
We are also getting together with our immediate family in July, and look forward to that. We pray you have a safe and blessed summer with lots of family time and fun.
Love,
Randy and Sandra Barr
