“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”Ps. 34:1

God has brought us to the end of this wonderful semester. It has been a time of sweetness, growth, and richness with the students, staff, and activities. We will surely miss them all!

We had a bittersweet graduation; filled with joy for those graduating, but sad because this was our last semester forCCBC Siegen. We ended the ceremony with a BBQ and picnic on the church grounds. Afterwards, the students went back to the Villa; and what did they want to do for their “grad party”? They wanted to worship and pray…and that’s what they did. It was a precious sight to behold. After a semester of investing into their lives the love of prayer, worship, and adoration to our God, we witnessed the fruit. These students were very passionate for God. It makes it all so worthwhile!!!

We just finished the EU worship conference held in CC Siegen every two years. Scott & Madie Cunningham, Tom Lane and Chelsea Moon, were flown over from the States… We both taught two workshops, and Bruce closed the conference with the last main session teaching on worship from God’s
perspective. The Holy Spirit poured out on the conference at the end, and people were so touched by the Presence of God moving. We heard feedback from everyone, how God have moved so powerfully; they are very hungry for the Spirit of God to move in their congregations as well. We have been flooded with requests for teaching on  worship, afterglows, and training.

Needless to say, our hearts are very encouraged, as we are witnessing God’s hand in stirring up the church. Revival comes through prayer, and worship is the result of hungry hearts for God. We believe God is preparing the church at large here for a time of harvest.

 Bruce was asked to teach for the next two Sundays, all three services, at CC Siegen on worship. Pastor Alex wants us to lead an afterglow, (a time of extended worship, waiting on the Lord, ministering in the gifts, etc,), on June 14^th, a Friday night. Please keep these things in prayer. It’s only by God’s Spirit empowering, that anything fruitful can come.

We are leaving June 20^th for England, to meet two of our sons in London. We will all be working at IMATS, the international Make up Artist Trade Show. Our son ,Simeon, works for this company, representing the movie makeup industry internationally. After we all work there, we will attend the York (Great Britain’s) pastor's conference. Then we will go on a small vacation, seeing England & Scotland (birthplace of Bruce's grandmother &great grandmother). We’re so excited to unite with even a part of our family! We wish they all could be there! We’ll be staying with friends along the way! We will end our tour through England by preaching at our good friend 

Bob Claycamp's church in Exeter. Then fly back to Germany and begin presenting our seven Weekend Worship Seminars.

We are living in exciting days; they are sometimes very dark days, as evil is progressing in the world. But where sin abounds, grace abounds more, like the scriptures declare.

As we share the good news of Jesus, and trust in Him, we will see His faithful hand.

He’s always been faithful, and will continue to be!!!

We are so grateful for you, your support, your prayer, and your relationship in our lives. Thank you for standing with us. We believe we are on the verge of a pouring out of God’s Spirit here in the EU and beyond. Let God be glorified!!

“We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!
For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.” 

Psalm 75:1
