Keeping Up with the Joneses MAY 2015 “…blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20: 29 Dear Family and Friends, This month we begin our 15 th year of fulltime ministry with DriveIn. In all these years we have been privileged to have a part in many thousands of people coming to faith in Christ. Many of you have supported us during these years and are part of that too. May we all continue to be faithful and diligent for our Savior until He returns. ************************************************* Last month I traveled to Haiti to talk to a potential ministry partner. The trip went well. Later, I towed an old stepvan to Dover, Florida (near Tampa) to partner with a Hispanic church ministering to migrant workers. While in Florida, I visited with a supporting church and also talked with missionaries who served many years in Senegal, West Africa and are requesting DriveIn to partner with their ministry. Then, I ended the month hosting Timothy Ojo and family, the Pastor and Director of Safe Harbor Baptist Ministries, one of our new partners in Nigeria.

Keeping Up with the Joneses MAY 2015

“…blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” John 20: 29

Dear Family and Friends, This month we begin our 15th year of full-‐time ministry with Drive-‐In. In all these years we have been privileged to have a part in many thousands of people coming to faith in Christ. Many of you have supported us during these years and are part of that too. May we all continue to be faithful and diligent for our Savior until He returns. ************************************************* Last month I traveled to Haiti to talk to a potential ministry partner. The trip went well. Later, I towed an old step-‐van to Dover, Florida (near Tampa) to partner with a Hispanic church ministering to migrant workers. While in Florida, I visited with a supporting church and also talked with missionaries who served many years in Senegal, West Africa and are requesting Drive-‐In to partner with their ministry. Then, I ended the month hosting Timothy Ojo and family, the Pastor and Director of Safe Harbor Baptist Ministries, one of our new partners in Nigeria. They are in the States for a few months raising more support. (photo below)

May 1st, AnnaMae returned from Wisconsin in time to enjoy the Ojo’s a few days before they left.

May 11th, Wilfred and Shirley Johnson, missionaries in Guatemala (and the DI Board Chairman), will arrive and on Friday (15th) the other four Board members and wives will join us here for the spring Board meeting through the weekend. *****************************************************
