November Update

This has been a busy month (yet again!) REVIVE has broken all records and is keeping Trev on his toes! One of the highlights was getting to know 'Jessie' and 'Bud' - a father and son, who were homeless and without employment. They spent 2 or 3 weeks in the store, each afternoon and we were able to help them in a number of ways practically, until we paid for their tickets back to Missouri (where they came from originally). They also came along to church a couple of times which was great. God is really stirring us in the area of reaching out, practically, to the needy in our community and we hope to be starting an initiative next year, which Tracy will be very involved in setting up...exciting!!!

Rhiana is still experiencing bad headaches, nausia, and severe pain in her neck and upper back. She was recently put on some strong medication for migraines, however, her neurologist is now pretty sure that the headaches are not migraines and that she is experiencing pressure on her brain. He has ordered a full body MRI for Monday (next week). We should get the results of those next Thursday and then learn where we go next. We would really appreciate your on-going prayer for Rhiana, since she has not been able to go back to school yet and life for her, right now, is quite difficult. Saying that, she remains cheerful throughout and most people would never know the pain she experiences!

The rest of us are doing good. We are now running a Community Group (mid-week small group) and meet 3 times a month, once for bible study, once for prayer and once on Saturday to serve breakfast at REVIVE. There are about 5 groups meeting now and we are looking forward to seeing what God has in store for us and hope to see these groups really grow and have many come into the Church through them.

Jubilee continues to grow steadily and we excited to see what God does in and through us over this coming year (we can hardly believe that we are entering our 3rd year here!)

We send our love to you all!
