Recapturing Innocence: A Picture

Continue praying as we explore working with Servants Anonymous
Foundation, based in Calgary, Canada. SAF specializes in developing
shelters for women and their children who have been exploited, with
long-term training programs and relationships as paths to wholeness.
Beth will travel to the US to attend the global conference of the
International Christian Alliance on Prostitution (18
th
-23
rd
). Pray for safety
and the success of the triennial gathering (http://www.icapglobal.org).
Outreaches to the daughters continue weekly. Pray! Every Sunday
(10:30AM Eastern TZ!) we drive to the Ring Road to show and tell them
who Jesus is!

The picture will stay with me a long time it was precious. We were saying
goodbyes at the SAF shelter we were visiting in Budapest. I was moving to the
door to grab my coat and I looked back over my shoulder and froze. Our girls,
Kari (Bulgarian, DofB team & Well Intern this summer) and Katie (MTW
intern), were saying goodbyes to the two Hungarian daughters (Roma, 20ish)
who had just befriended them. Because language separated them, their
goodbye was silent only touching, holding hands, shy smiles little girls
again. For me, I was seeing a picture of innocence
Kari, Katie and Beth, were
doing a bit of touristing
while in Budapest
in the process of being recaptured by the power of invincible grace. These
daughters were discovering wholeness through the loving, unrelenting, tough
nurture of the caregivers at the shelter. This picture has given us hope that
this kind of care IS POSSIBLE, with Gods help, for the daughters of Bulgaria.
Thankful to the
Lord for the protection
and recovery of our Bulgarian
teammates, Vlado & Boian,
who were in a serious auto
accident recently.

My birthday present to Beth!
Some of you follow us on Facebook and saw that
Beth and I spent a long weekend at the Black Sea in
Varna, participating in the Black Sea Tall Ship
Regatta! We loved the change and it was good
simply to pull back, take a deep breath, and stop for
a few short moments. We are thankful to serve Him
in Bulgaria and we are thankful to you for enabling
all we do through your prayers and giving! We
dont take you for granted.


What do they
share in common?
Last month we asked you to pray for and give to
help enable the operation of the Elias Riggs
Center for Biblical Studies to continue for
another year. The Lord, through you, has met
this need! Thank you so, so much!

The Well 14 This Month!
I love summer busy but love it! Our
interns will be arriving soon to begin our 6
th

annual summer internship! The Well
stretches and challenges each intern to live
radically committed to Christ. How?
Through daily study of biblical and missional
concepts, living in cross-cultural community,
travel to Istanbul, eating food. And much
more!

Pray for interns in the home stretch of
raising support and for many, final exams.
Pray especially for intern, Emily Bowen (top
right), who experienced a fractured
vertebrae recently while diving into a pool.
She attends UGA and is still hoping to come
for the summer. Pray for her recovery and
for wisdom for her care providers to
determine if she can participate this
summer! Pray!

Im still working on
taking the selfies!
