Praise the Lord that wee Eli Bruce Carter came into the world safely on Tuesday night, but please pray that this little preemie would be cradled by the Lord, and would develop healthy and strong in every aspect. Please pray that all facets of the new childcare would be done with excellence, and be pleasing to the Lord. With hundreds of thousands of people having been displaced from the north, the church in Bamako is seeking to help believers who have fled religious persecution. Many are without food, and aid organizations have not returned to the country. Pray for Gods mighty provision and that He will use this situation to draw many Malians to Himself.

Ministry Evaluations
By Jill Briscoe ....... The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. ~ Isaiah 9:2 Are you in need of a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel? Isaiah promises that even in darkness, even in death itself, there is good ground for hope, for the power of God is able to restore life to His people even when they appear to be already dead! Have you given up seeing light brought to bear in a dark church situation? Are there factions splitting people apart from each other into dark debates and despondency? Theres a great light shining! Theres a great light because a great Saviour came. Among them hath the light shined (Is. 9:2, KJV). Among whom? This prediction was fulfilled when Christ preached along the Galilean seacoast (see Matt. 4:16); the light brought promise of deliverance for Israel. A new day had come! The Saviour is a great source of comfort to us. Many live in the darkness of divorce or in the shadow of death. Some watch a loved one slowly disintegrate before their eyes. Others, in seemingly perfect circumstances, live in the deepest darkness of all depression that nothing seems to penetrate! Listen to the Good News! Theres light at the end of the tunnel look up and see Jesus standing there! Hear what He says: I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life (John 8:12).

Finally, we are pleased to announce that the renovation to our facility is slated to begin in mid June.
The choir is coming, the choir is coming! On August 5th, we will be taking time to thank God, in a special way, for His care and blessings in our lives.
