Dear Family & Friends, Jesus had much to say about giving and serving. One principle drawn from the many passages is that you cant out give God. God loves to reward good works, just as we parents do to our children. The verse above reminds us that even the smallest gift or service, in Jesus name, is rewarded. He especially blesses those who bless others in the body of Christ. It is a cycle of service that anyone can be involved in that encourages and strengthens other believers.

This month we have several Mobile Unit meetings scheduled. Last week Joe McDonald (photo above) brought the 5thWheel Unit by for some maintenance/repair issues and tires in preparation for his upcoming Mexico trip in a couple of weeks. We also still have a few more repairs needed on a couple of Mobile Units here in preparation for summer ministry. Right now it looks like we will have more Units on the road this summer than in previous years. This, plus office work, contacts, travel, mowing, and working at the new property, keeps us busy these days. The behind the scenes work is time consuming but necessary for the ongoing and growth of the ministry.

Family News
This month we have birthdays for our granddaughter, Allie Faith, who turns 4 on April 2nd, and then Jennifer turns 32 on the 8th. We always look forward to any occasion to get together as family! Last month we all went bowling for Oscars birthday celebration. AnnaMae will go to Wisconsin to visit her family for a couple weeks leaving the two boys and me here to enjoy man-time (or should I say frozen dinners). Stephen is making plans to return to Romania this summer and has added his support letter to the back of ours. Samuel will finish his first year of college next month and will once again be serving with Child Evangelism Fellowship this summer. He will be sending out support letters soon. We do appreciate your interest and support of our family! Your gifts and prayers each month refresh and encourage us more than you know. While it is necessary for our continued service, we know it is a loving sacrifice given in His name for His glory. We are blessed! May He bless you abundantly! In His service together, Mike, AnnaMae & family
