Dear Friends,
Our God is alive and working
in and through His people in many beautiful ways! Here are some things He has
done in answer your prayers. Glory to God for His love!
Twins Adoption Finalized! Grace and Ward are officially
the parents of Will and Fred Bearden! After two long years of an on-again, off-again
emotional roller coaster ride, the boys were adopted July 6th. They
are excited, relieved, and grateful! Thank you for standing with us in prayer!!
Now, at last, we can also show you photos of the twins.
Here is a photo of Beatrix Nelson at her 1st birthday party
last week. Such a happy girl growing up in a loving family! Danelle and I officially
have 20 grandchildren to love and pray for! Merry is due next month with number
21 – Yes, another boy! (14-7!) The other photo is of Merry, Elijah, Nathan, and
grandmother Danelle.
Steve’s New Book – God is answering your prayers for, What Is Better Than Free?
“Restoring The Lost Work Ethic” Today, Steve gave Jade a copy. She is the coffee
shop manager who inspired the title of his new book. She said she was eager to
start reading it as we discussed again the importance of a good work ethic and how
she became a good example. Pray that she, and many others, will come to know
Jesus personally because of reading this book. Maybe you know someone who would benefit from
reading it. It is a great tool for parents too! You can find it on Amazon in
paperback and as an e-book.
Fellowship With Old Friends Recently I met our friend, Park Ashley, for lunch at
the Varsity as he and his son drove through Atlanta. Park was a student at
Georgia Tech who was part of our campus ministry many years ago.
Danelle and I took our friend, Martha Cornette, to her favorite restaurant
-Chick-fil-A! We enjoyed rich fellowship with both of these dear saints who
continue to love and follow the Lord Jesus Christ!
Prayer & Praise
I love the
Lord, because He hears my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined
His ear to me, therefore I shall call upon Him as long as I live.” Psalm 116:1-2
1. Bearden Twins - Pray for Grace and Ward to parent well - with God’s grace, strength, and
patience. They have their hands full with these two active boys! Pray for all 7
our children to raise godly grandchildren who come to know and love the Lord Jesus
and then learn how to others.
2. Merry’s Baby Pray for a safe delivery and healthy son for Merry
and Nathan. Danelle plans to assist in the delivery. She is due August 11th.
Thank you!
3. New Book – Ask God to use Steve’s book to bring Jade and many others to know Jesus
Christ. Pray for God to raise up more faithful, hard-working young people as
powerful testimonies for Christ.
Thank
you for being our prayer warriors!

Danelle
