From July 16 - July 28, Cheryl Jenkins will be in Guatemala on a short-term mission trip. During the first week, Candie and her will develop a dental brigade in two communities in Guatemala City. The expectation is to have 100 people coming to the clinics for extractions and fillings. Please pray for both, two other dentists participating and all the planning work needed.

The second week, Cheryl & Candie will be visiting, chating with various students in Guatemala, El Salvador. We'll develop: (1) a f-2-f session with Leadership Ministry students in Garbage City, and (2) two evangelistic activities for Women with Salvadoran churches (where 2 students work as pastors). Please pray for safe driving, wisdom, strength as we prepare all this trip.

Recently, I asked your prayers for José Miguel & Dámaris Orozco. They are facing challenging times due to Dylan's (5 year old son) diagnosis of Autism Level 2. Both parents have collected all information requested by the neurologist and waiting for a response for medical treatment.

Please continue praying with them.

This past week, God graciously provided the funds needed for the MENA project at the Morocco Workshop this August. This was a special grace of the Lord to provide now, as facilities that were safe and very private needed to be rented now in order to meet in August.

There will be iTEE University students who are pastors and leaders from 4 MENA countries for five days. Mark and Michele Engel and Chandee Ulch (our intern) are going there to serve our brothers and sisters.

Most often, I am sharing prayer requests for our students and co-workers, and sometimes for Linda and me. Today, I want to share a request from my daughter. She and her family desperately need God's intervention. The note will be self-explanatory. It is lengthy, but purposefully for those who will pray.

Letter from Aimeé Williams our oldest daughter.

-------------------

I need to be a little vulnerable and open right now. This may be a long post so feel free to skip if you need to.

I’m a special needs mama and I love being my children’s mom. Each and every one of them is a gift, a treasure that I wouldn’t trade for the world. Loving them like I do doesn’t necessarily make daily life easier instead I would argue it’s actually harder. Harder because you hurt every time they hurt. You want answers but there aren’t. You need support because you want to what’s best for them but it just isn’t out there. So you carry it. Often very isolated because others do not truly understand. It’s not a judgment it’s a reality, it’s the reality of most SN parents. Why do I share all this? Because of what has been happening these last few weeks needs to be acknowledged and the glory given to God.

Many of you know by now we are moving. We have been hit with setbacks by setbacks. We have been living half moved half stuck for the last month. It’s very hard on all of us but especially our neurodivergent members.

You may also know that our main transportation (accessible van) for our oldest child broke down a few weeks ago. We still don’t have it back. Then his his wheelchair, which has been falling apart for a while finally broke in a way we couldn’t patch it up. Things just keep falling off/breaking. Right now all that is holding that chair to together is prayer.

So house, van, wheelchair, etc…. Seems like a lot. Yes, it is! I am going to be honest and say I was hitting rock bottom this past week. Eric and I are beyond exhausted. Mentally, physically, emotionally, it’s all at the bottom. My anxiety and my fears were spiraling and breaths away from a breakdown. That is where I have been. Trying to keep everything together for everyone. Keeping things regulated for those who need it, keep others physically safe, trying to keep my own self safe and it’s not sustainable.

This is where God gets all the glory. I was doing laundry, when am I not, and in tears and God’s Word came to me. The Lord is my strength and my refuge, The Lord is my shield and my defender, The Lord gives strength to the weary … and more. I clung and I mean clung to those promises. Did every thing get better? No. I am still exhausted and overwhelmed, but I am reminded that I am not doing this in my own strength. I love the children’s song Jesus Loves Me because HE is Strong when I am weak.

It’s not over I heard two not one sermons yesterday that brought not only conviction but also encouragement. (Thanks TW Davis and Steve Cullum) God had been hearing my prayers and He was always there. He brought a few conversation with friends and messages from His Word and sermons to remind me of His goodness and His faithfulness. I am by far from over this trial and season in life but I will choose to remember God’s faithfulness. I will choose to be vulnerable and allow God to use me and use others for His Glory.

Can you help? Yes, please pray! I kid you not knowing that many were praying and reaching out telling me were praying kept me going. Also if anyone wants to bring a home cooked meal in the next day or two (we leave Wednesday for camp), I won’t say no. We have packed up most of our kitchen and won’t even have a table after today. If anyone wants to come over and help entertain the boys tomorrow (Tuesday) or help with the end of packing or cleaning I won’t say no.

Here are some praises: 1) we should have a working loaner chair for Elijah tomorrow afternoon. 2) even with all the added stress, loss of sleep, and not great eating the last few months Eric and I have been healthy. 3) even though we won’t have our van in time, we have found a way to use our other vehicle to get to camp.

If you have stayed and read the whole post, thank you. Thanks for praying!

Praise the Lord for providing an HR director and a team of volunteers to assist. Pray for meetings that Beverly, Stan, and George will have this week to review HR and plan for the future of this important part of our ministry. Pray that God will grant us clarity and confidence in the directions we will be taking.

Praise the Lord for His constant and faithful provision for the ministry. Last week, the Lord supplied enough funds (only eight days after starting the fundraising project) to ensure that our MENA team will be able to conduct the evangelism and apologetics workshop, which includes leaders from three different North African countries. While most of the funds are in, and James and Mark are fairly sure the workshop planning and logistics can move forward, about $3,000 is still needed. The brothers in MENA are planning to raise those funds. Pray that God will powerfully provide for them!

Please pray for Alfreno Duffene who ministers in Haiti serving as a pastor and working to help meet daily needs in a refugee camp. He has connected with iTEE and tried to take courses, but with very limited internet, and constant turmoil in Haiti, it has been too much. They are in need of food and basic resources to feed people and then have opportunities to share the Gospel. They receive some support through a state side ministry, but the needs are great and continual. Pray they will be able to get the resources that are needed and that they would find encouragement and hope through Jesus.
