Update Sept 29th 2009 :)

We met at Chris and Mary Currier's home tonight for our monthly care team meeting. We discussed all the different things that support teams do for their missionaries. Jerry and Gelina Guiles spoke to us, and encouraged us in ways to send us out. Then we prayed for all the needs. I love our care team . They are so supportive and encouraging. We couldn't do all this without a family of support behind us. The cool thing is how we all get the same portion of fruit; the senders and the sent. We all need one another, and we ALL are the body of Christ together.

I just got back from WI where I shared music at a couple churches. The first one was CC Appleton, where I did special music for their annual prophecy conference. It was wonderful. I had the opportunity to share about our Worship school adventure as well. CC Manitowoc asked me to share for their midweek service. After a few frustrating moments trying to get the keyboard to sound, everything went well. People were very interested in the worship school.

After being home two days, I did a women's retreat in the Santa Cruz mts. Now I'm home for a little while, taking a breath of fresh sea air, and catching up with everything I didn't do!!!
Update on the mission: We have 4 churches that have taken us on as their missionaries, praise God!!! Several people have commited monthly support. We have about 1/4 of our 80% (needed before we can leave). Everything being donated goes into a fund held by Saving Grace Missions.
When 80% of it comes in, then we go to Germany, and they release the funds. So people can start donating now, and it will acrue towards the goal.
Our son Nathan, is deploying to Afghanistan very soon. He's with the air force, and going to a very dangerous place. I'd love your prayers for his safety and good health. I'm so proud of his self sacrifice for our nation.
Our other son, Simeon and his wife Alli, are expecting their first child in May. We're very excited for them, and us!!! We're keeping her pregnancy in prayer.
This coming Saturday night, we'll be doing a worship concert and slide presentation on our worship school at Calvary Chapel Monterey Bay @ 6:30. It's being put on by the misson fellowship in the church. We're looking forward to sharing our vision with the community.
In a few weeks, Bruce and I will be going to So. Cal. to speak and play at several churches. We're excited about the open doors that God is orchestrating. He's so faithful to meet all our needs.
We're doing well, and keeping the faith . Every day gets sooner to His return, and there's such a needy world out there. Every moment counts!
So glad you're in our lives. We appreciate you more than you know!!
In Jesus,
Bruce and Teresa

S. Cal. ministry trip

Bruce and I just got back from S. Calif, where we dropped Jonathan off at Azusa Pacific University. He's very excited about going there. Afterwards, we went to San Diego to minister

at a few different churches. Two of those churches have expressed a desire to help support us, and take us on as their missionaries. We're very excited about what God is doing.

While we were there, we also had the opportunity to lead worship for a beach outreach in Oceanside.

There was a BBQ, worship, and a converted Samoan gang member, (now preacher) sharing the message. Many people came by and listened. It was a sweet time of ministry.

October 3rd, we're having an evening of worship and school of worship presentation at Calvary Chapel Monterey Bay. It starts at 6:30. Come by if you live in the area, and join in the fellowship and food!!

Thursday, I'm leaving for Appleton , WI, for the prophesy conference. Please keep me in your prayers. I'm going to do special music, as well as share about the S.O.W.

I'm praying for some other avenues to minister in music and share, while I'm out there.

thanks for keeping us in your prayers. More people are sharing our vision, and getting on board to support the work. We're so grateful for the provision God is bringing. We are so grateful for you.
