Cindy's Health

My wife Cindy recently began experiencing episodes of numbness and tingling in her lips, tongue, and sometimes her cheek. She gets nauseous along with these other symptoms. We took her to the doctor in Springfield. She had an MRI done and the doctor has referred her to a neurologist. There are no available appointments to see the neurologist until about a month from now. The MRI revealed that it's possible that she had a "mini-stroke" but they aren't sure. Please pray for her. We will have our 25th wedding anniversary on June 17. I love her and covet your prayers for her health. God bless you!

Please don't forget about doing what you can to help towards Leah's Romania mission trip in June. She needs to raise $3,000 and has $250 as of today. $2,750 to go! She'll be doing evangelistic ministry among the gypsies of Romania.

Also, we still lack about 1/2 of the $4500 we need to fix a serious plumbing problem in the orphanage. They cannot flush a single toilet on the property and have to shower with the water hose outside. Pray that we can get the funds to get this fixed.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and gifts!

Help Leah Go To Romania

This summer, our daughter Leah, age 16, will be going on a mission trip to the Eastern European country of Romania. She'll be going with a team of youth from International Bible Baptist in Miami, Florida. The ministry is called T.I.M.E. We hosted a T.I.M.E. team in Cambodia last year and it was great. Leah has been asked to go and she is thrilled! She'll be working with the Collico's, missionaries to the Gypsies for the past 13 years. Among the things she'll be doing is helping to present the Gospel through Christian evangelistic skits and dramas. They'll ministry to Gypsy children, teens and adults in Gypsy churches as well as at Camp Joy.

Leah needs to raise $3000 for this trip. Please help her get the money required to go on this mission. You can send funds to us through the missions office.

Instructions:

1. Make check payable to BBFI Missions.
2. Include a note or write on the memo field of the check that it's for "Haas/Leah/Romania"
3. Send to BBFI Mission Office, P.O. Box 191, Springfield, MO 65801.

This is a great opportunity to be a big blessing to an MK (missionary kid)! God bless you!
