Just wanted to publicly praise the Lord for blessing me with a wonderful wife and 12 years of marriage. We are grateful for God's mercy on us and the guidance He gives through His word that enriches and stabilizes our marriage.
So much has happened in 12 years that when reflecting back over the weekend, we were stunned. To see where the Lord has brought us is amazing and to look forward and together know how much growth we still need makes us eager to seek the Lord more and more. We praise the Lord for our four daughters and soberly approach raising them in this present evil world. We are grateful for their sakes that God has seen fit to reveal Himself to us and that our desire is that they may be raised in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
My wife is a treasure to me. Neither of us will fit every mold that others may desire to put missionaries into but we are grateful for the clarity of His call, His destination for us, His criteria put forth in His word that we seek daily to endeavour to walk worthy of and the joy of fellowship and love that we share. I praise God for Stephanie.
Pro 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
Pro 31:11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
Pro 31:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Thank you to all who pray for us and our family, truly we know that it is not a vain exercise. The enemy would love to destroy marriages and publicly shame God's people, by faith and prayer we all can overcome his attacks and be the light that God would have us to be.

July Prayer Letter
Dear praying friends, July, 2008
Psa 97:1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
God is not just a national God for America but desires to be the center of worship and attention in all nations. It is our prayer that the multitude of the isles would multiply its believers and the country of the Philippines as a whole would gain the blessing that comes with being a nation whose God is the Lord. On June 22nd a powerful typhoon ripped through the central Philippines, overturning a ferry carrying 700 passengers and killing many others. Our prayer goes out to those impacted and we desire that God would use this event to stir the hearts and consciences of those in that area to consider their ways and seek the Lord while He may be found. May God’s people minister and witness amidst this grief.
Here in the states, we just finished a busy month on the road. We had a blessed time on our trip to Pa, De and NYC. We made many new friends and prayer partners along the way and our kids really adapted to life on the road well, praise the Lord. Our month began in Hastings, NY where we had a great missions conference with our brothers and sisters there. We are grateful to see God’s hand on us through our travels and we can certainly say that we learned many lessons in different areas.
We have no out of state meetings this month so we will be close our home in Rochester as we prepare it for sale between meetings. Repairs, painting and organizing will keep us plenty busy. We appreciate your support and continued prayer for our family. We would be grateful if you would beseech the Lord for us for continued meetings on our calendar, that the Lord will raise up those that He will have partner with us and that we would have many opportunities to share the gospel on the road and close to home. May the Lord bless you this summer.
For the glory of His name,
The Putney Family
