"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us." II Cor. 4:7
We are simply humble jars of clay but the message of the gospel we have and carry to the world is the greatest of treasures.
It’s been a while since we have been in touch.
We’ve had a summer busy with different responsibilities than usual. We continue with the ongoing assisted living for Susan’s parents. Her dad’s health is declining and we are endeavouring to keep him comfortable and cared for in his own home.
We also decided that it was time to relocate. We put our house on the market, sold it the first of the summer and moved back to Kingston.
A couple of weeks ago we had the privilege and fun of being involved in helping with an outdoor wedding.
Most of all we wanted to let you know that once again we are beginning to return to the prisons for “in person” ministry. As of September Robert has been back inside the institutions and it has been great to see the men face-to-face again. Beginning in the month of October we will resume Sunday evening chapel services in four institutions as well as one on one visits during the week. We praise God for these recent opportunities and truly hope they will be able to continue. Letter writing and phone calls have kept us somewhat in contact with these men but what a joy to return and see them.
God’s Spirit reaches where we cannot go and we have been humbled to realize how the Holy Spirit is able to keep these men growing in grace and faithful in their walk with Him without our presence. God doesn't need anyone of us. He will get it done; He just gives us the privilege of being a part of it.
They have the same “treasure” in their jars of clay!
Please continue to pray for us and the men we minister to inside prison walls.
Serving our Lord and Saviour together,
Robert and Susan
