Dear Loved Ones!
Fremont 1This has been a busy season for us! Since our last newsletter, we have been involved in fixing up our house to sell, hosting several worship seminars, leading worship several places, speaking at churches, and visiting our grandkids!
When we returned from Europe, we gave eviction notices to our tenants, who moved out Antioch 12in February. There was much damage to our house, and we spent the next month and a half repairing everything. We had a good friend help us, as we needed someone who knew construction. We listed our house at the end of March, and in one week it sold. We praise God for his grace on us, and we now pray for the escrow to go through with no problems! We are praying for wisdom for where to eventually relocate.
Antioch 1In February, Bruce led worship for the pastor’s gathering in Fremont; He also led worship for Calvary Chapel Livermore. They have no worship leader, and Bruce was able to encourage them. The next week, we led worship and Bruce taught at Calvary Chapel Crossroads in Antioch. We met a lady there whose mother we knew well in Germany! Small world! One of the women there came up to us afterwards, and said she had never experienced worship like that. God had delivered her from a lifestyle of addiction and mental illness.

When we were in Europe, we prayed that she wouldn’t go while we were away. Every year, we wondered if this would be “the year.” We “happened to be in town , and Bruce got to be by her side during her dying process. Our kids were able to join us for her memorial service. Teresa sang some songs for the service. It was a glorious, yet sad time. She is in heaven with her husband of many years.

Afterwards, we went up to Harrisburg, OR, to host a worship seminar. Oregon is where we came to Christ in 1972, and holds many good memories. We saw people that we had been in ministry with, and God moved in a powerful way during the seminar. After Bruce taught on Sunday, the pastor with tears in his eyes, came up to us afterwards and said that he had never seen his worship team move like that. The whole church was so responsive, and thanked us profusely for coming. We were so blessed to be able to release their worship team and equip them.

The next week, we traveled to Dayton, NV, to host a worship seminar. It was a beautiful drive over the Sierra Nevada's. We stayed with their worship leader and family; we had a delightful time, meeting new friends, and enjoying their kids! Both Calvary Chapel Harrisburg and CCDayton had extremely talented teams. We basically just encouraged them, and empowered them to go for it! Biblical teaching brings such freedom and joy.
The seminar was great; there was a gathering from several churches in the area. The pastor had Bruce teach, and invited us back to teach at the church when they go on vacation.

Next week, we will be leading a night of worship at Mayflower Church in Pacific Grove. They are joining with Lighthouse Christian Fellowship. Although it will be a women’s night, Bruce will be playing! We look forward to all that God will do, setting the captives free!
In two weeks, we will be traveling to Appleton, WI, to lead worship for the Calvary Chapel Midwest Pastor’s Conference. We haven’t been there for a while, and look forward to seeing old friends.

We pray you had a joy-filled Resurrection Day, as we all celebrated our savior’s resurrection. Because He rose from the dead, He promises new life to us~ we are eternal beings, living in this temporary dwelling until He calls us home. Our lives are filled with His joy, because He lives inside us! May God pour out on your lives, filling you every day with the power of His Spirit, to live for His glory!
Thank you so much for standing with us in prayer and support. Our fruit is your fruit as well!
Bruce and Teresa Muller

Praise be to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of jesus Christ from the dead.. 1 Peter 1:3
