Sarah Elizabeth Miller Graduates!

Hi, Everyone!

We just got home from a wonderfully exciting weekend in Chicago with our son Jim and his wife Sarah. She graduated on Sat. morn. from Xavier University, with a major in English, Suma Cum Laude, which means with highest honors. We are all very proud of her!!!

We are also excited because we have had 2! invitations to share in churches about our trip to Africa. We will be sharing on Sun. eve., June 5th here at the little church we attend and then at a friend's church in Ft. Wayne on June 12th. Praise the Lord. It is all begining to flow. We also got to fellowship with and share with some sweet brothers and sisters in Christ while we were enjoying Sarah's grad. party on Sun. They want Jim to get them some of the financial forms that we use for support. PTL.

Please pray for us as we head into a very busy week of homeschooling and working. sometimes it is a bit overwhelming. Pray specifically against a spirit of strife and that we will all put one another's interests ahead of our own. thanks so much!

blessings to you all!

love,

Rebecca and the rest of the Miller gang!

How's THIS for a Suggestion...?

Greetings to you all in the Name of our precious Lord & Saviour! Grace, mercy, and peace be yours in abundance.

We have received numerous responses to this new blog-site, and we welcome each one with great joy! The only problem: for those of you who choose to sign in anonymously, we have no idea who you are unless you choose to add your name or initials at the end of your note. This is a good tool for us to use to stay in touch with all of you. But it's also a nice way for us to know who's out there reading our letters, if you give us a hint. Thanx SO much!

We Millers are still waiting to find out if we'll be able to rent this new apartment, or whether someone else will get it - it's all in the Lord's hands - so we try to patiently wait to see if this is the place He has for us. In the meantime, one way or the other, we need to PACK. Some things must go into storage - this house we have been in is a big one - but we also need to sort out what will go with us to Tanzania, and what has to remain behind. Only a very small amount can fly over with us, so there are a lot of hard choices to make (especially parting me from my books)! May God grant us the wisdom to choose wisely....

Love and Blessings to you ALL, DL

Keeping on the Move

Greetings, All. Staying busy is not a problem for us in the Miller family. The problem is knowing what to say yes to, and where to fit in the time to do it. We are in the process of moving on from the house we have known for 2 1/2 yrs now, because the church who has lovingly allowed us to live here wants to get an assistant pastor, and want to use this house as a "draw". Good idea! So now we're looking - we think we may have found a place in nearby Montpelier, OH. I want to change jobs, and things are extremely hard-up, financially, in the nw OH/ne IN areas, so it's rather hard to find a good job if one isn't especially talented in some area, as I'm generally not. Jehovah Jireh - God will provide. I think I may have found the place, though, on first shift, and not too streeful. We'll see....

Thus far we have focused almost exclusively on sharing our Missions Vision to serve in Tanzania with churches with whom we have had some sort of past history. This needs to expand and change! There's not enough funding coming in from using this method. So we will begin contacting different churches, as well as area businesses, to leave that paradigm behind and move on to new and different ideas. We truly think the Presentation Notebook will be a wonderful tool, to help us in this regard!

Keep us in your prayers - that we can find and follow the Master's will in all these things - and we pray that friends like you will share any ideas of churches or businesses with us, via blog responses or email. May the Lord bless you richly!!!

Presentation Notebook

We are so excited today! Our eldest son, a "computer geek" by his own admission, is also a gem, by our estimation. He helped us design a wonderful title page for the new Notebook, with the flag of Tanzania on it, a few pictures from the Arusha area - the city out of which we'll be working, our Pamoja team photo, and maps of Africa/TZ, so people can see at a glance where we'll be going. It's outstanding, and we are so thrilled as the presentation piece comes together. All we await now are our Prayer Cards, which are even now in print (we hope and pray). Between Rebecca and I, we designed a really nice piece, I sincerely believe, and Jim helped set the tone on the Title page for what lies within. "May God bless us, every one...."
