Justin and Angie Arender – Missionaries to the
Dear Pastor and Church,
The month of August has definitely been a trying one. It seems like satan is working extra hard this month. We have had some trouble with our van this month. When we are going down the road it starts jumping or it has no power. When we come to a stop it either wants to go dead or it wants to take off. It just can't seem to make up its mind which one it wants to do. We have taken it to three mechanics and they don't even know what is wrong with it. We have definitely put some money into our van this month, changing all the sensors and doing everything they have told us to do to fix the problem and nothing has worked. Not only that but we have also discovered that our gas tank is also leaking on our van. We are really asking prayer that our van will make it until we get ready to leave for the
Angie and I have started homeschooling our girls this past month. This is our first year homeschooling so please pray for us. It can get trying at times. But the girls have adjusted really well to us teaching them. Lauren, our middle child, had a birthday August 30th. She turned 5 years old. Angie and I have been very proud of our girls through deputation. Yes, they get a little hyper sometimes from having to sit down a lot and not being able to release a lot of that energy they have, but over all they have done really well.
We had four churches cancel their meetings that we had scheduled in August. But the Lord still provided for us more than we could have asked for. It seems like sometimes when it rains it pours but I know that we serve a Might God and that through Him we can overcome anything that satan may throw at us. We just have to put our faith and trust in the Lord and He will see us through.
Please keep my family and I in your prayers as we continue on deputation. We are looking forward to becoming apart of your mission program.
Love in Christ,
Justin, Angie, Laken, Lauren, and Laci Arender
