Tim’s surgery was successful. They showed his brother and me exactly what they did on the computer screen. His heart is in regular rhythm right now. He should be able to come home Wednesday. Praise the Lord!!! Thank you for praying!

Tim will be having a heart ablation on Monday morning, June 24. That will be Sunday PM EST. We appreciate your prayers on his behalf.

Kim arrived safely in Japan on May 15.  She has been resting and recovering from jet lag.  She will lead her first Ladies’ Bible Fellowship since her return on Saturday, June 8.

It has been a busy few weeks for Tim jumping back into the ministry and taking care of other things that need to be done since we have been away for furlough. He met with the cardiologist this week and scheduled his ablation for June 24. We appreciate your continued prayers for him.

Mar_April 2024

We delayed our departure to give Kim time to recover from her illness. On Thursday of last week, she was diagnosed with pneumonia and started an aggressive treatment. Today we went to the doctor to see if it would be safe for her to fly tomorrow. We thought we already knew the answer, but wanted to hear what the doctor had to say. She is improving, but she is not well. The doctor said she needed to give it a few more weeks for recovery.

Tim will be departing tomorrow as planned. He needs to take care of a visa issue that can’t be delayed any longer. Please pray for him as he travels and for Kim as she stays behind. Please pray that Kim will continue to improve without any setbacks. Thank you for your prayers and concern for us.

Kim has been struggling with a cough for several weeks. Last Thursday, she took a turn for the worse. She went to the doctor Friday and they treated her very aggressively because of our scheduled departure tomorrow. We are packed and ready to go, but today she is worse and we felt it would not be wise for her to fly in her condition. We were able to reschedule for next Tuesday, April 23rd. Please pray for her soon recovery and for all the logistics with the change in plans. Thank you!

I am writing this update as we are traveling on the highway after the last missions conference of our furlough. We are headed back to Greenville, SC where we will fly out in one week.

Thank you for your prayers on our behalf. It has been an unusual furlough for us with many challenges, but God has been faithful. With many supporting churches, it is difficult to be in every church every furlough. We are sorry if we missed you this furlough. We have prepared two video presentations you can share with your church to update you on our ministry.

Lord willing, our next update will be from the other side of the Pacific!

We have been hit with whatever bronchial virus is going around. Tim had it for a few weeks and after multiple treatments is finally on the mend. Kim hasn’t had it as long, but hasn’t quite turned the corner yet. We have a mission conference coming up and we have much to accomplish before our departure. Please pray for the strength to do what we need to do and for good health. Thank you!
