As I write this I am getting ready to head to Mexico to do the wedding of Bethany Snyder and Jonas Cortes. My wife is coming with me and I am elated. The only problem is she has been watching documentary programs on parasites and is worried. I am sure the Lord will protect us and we will not be foolish in what we eat or drink. Jonas and Bethany are great people and really reflect our heart for missions as a church. For years we have sent missionaries overseas and now are reaping a beautiful couple to come and lead our youth ministry this January. I cannot help but think of the scripture “cast your bread upon the water and after many days it will return to you.” We have sown to the mission field for years and now a beautiful couple from the field is coming to us. Bethany’s parents are missionaries in Mexico and she grew up there. Jonas father is a pastor in Acapulco and is very musical. Now this couple is coming to us from the field for two years. Praise the Lord!!
I also really enjoyed the testimony of Neil Monteiro last Sunday. During our season of prayer and fasting in January, Neil had asked for prayer for a job in Rochester. He and his family live here in Rochester and Neil was commuting to Manhattan every week and trying to come home on weekends. He asked for prayer in January and praise the Lord he has a job now in Rochester. We will be doing a three day corporate time of prayer and fasting starting Tuesday July 6, 7 and 8. We will be letting you know more and you can submit your prayer requests.
In closing take some time to enjoy the summer, winter comes only too quickly. God bless,
Pastor Phil

I was speaking with one of our members after our Sunday service last week and he mentioned how much “life” he could see at Word of Life. We have members witnessing in local parks. We have members going overseas for short term missions opportunities. Harry Vellekoop is heading to South America to minister to churches he is related to there. The Chapman’s and Case’s are returning for a few weeks this summer from the mission field and will be with us to share. James Blake is with us this month but returns to the road to minister throughout the Northeast in churches for another year. I am in the process of planning to go to Mexico to officiate at the Wedding of Jonas Cortez and Bet Snyder. I am also trying to go to Brazil with my daughter Elizabeth this August to do medical clinics and visit some missionaries there. We have a marriage retreat this weekend with 16 couples signed up. Our outreach task force is setting up opportunities to serve local ministries. The appliances arrive this week for the kitchen just in time for our annual members meeting potluck on May 2nd. Also on May 2nd there will be an opportunity for water baptism. The mission’s task force is reaching out to our missionaries monthly.

All these things are great and they are not even a full list of all the life that is happening here at Word of Life. God is inhabiting everything that is going on. His blessing, grace and favor at times are tangible in all these things. I am thanking the Lord for his presence as we are Loving God, Loving People and Loving the Nations.
