Happy Easter !!

“He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come see the place where the Lord lay”. Matthew 28-6. NKJV Diane and I have had the great privilege of seeing “The place where the Lord lay”. It is indeed an empty tomb! As we celebrate Our risen savior let us all be reminded of the great price that was paid for our sins, the cross (death) was the penalty the resurrection (Empty tomb) is the victory. We would like to give a big thank you to Mid-way Baptist, Raleigh, NC for allowing Diane and I to stay in the Jeremy house during our furlough. You just don’t know what a blessing it is to missionaries. We were so blessed. We would like to extend our prayers and love to Mid-way for the loss of their beloved PASTOR, our prayers for the entire church family and Pastor Staubs and family as he takes the reigns. After returning to Eswatini (Swaziland) from our short but very blessed furlough we literally hit the ground running. All the kids and adults were eagerly awaiting the start of bible clubs and adult discipleship classes to continue. We will be talking with the children who accepted Christ before we left and there will soon be a baptism before the weather gets cold. We were blessed to receive many donations during our time in the states, clothing, socks, money. The money we raised will be to build a church building for one of our ministry partners’ this is a location we have one of our preschools, bible clubs and adult studies. The “church” has struggled over the last three years to build a building. Praise the Lord God provided the funds not only for the building but donations to purchase chairs for the church, at this time they sit on dilapidated benches. Thank you to everyone who donated !! One of the Deacons (Mark) from Piney Grove is coming to oversee this project, we are so very blessed and thankful to Mark for taking time from his work and come over to help. We have been busy buying, delivering the materials for the building. May 10 we will begin construction. Diane’s bible clubs continue to grow, she had to have three clubs in one afternoon because of the number of children that wanted to come. The adult study is going well, the adults are really growing in the the Lord. Our three preschools are doing wonderful, we have 20-25 children enrolled at each one. We have purchased P-K small books for them to work with. God Is Good!! As the weather will be getting cooler at night, we have been giving out the socks and will start giving blankets this week starting at the hospital in the Pediatric ward.
