Email Update 5-10-13

Greetings Everyone!
Attached you will find our latest prayer letter. I usually get these out at the beginning of the month, but I wanted to make sure a special event made the cut. On Wednesday, May 8th, Amy graduated with her master's degree in Bible Exposition. We give God all the glory for this amazing accomplishment!
I still have one more class to go in July. Last summer, we had the privilege of going to Australia to help the Maldoff's for three weeks. Because of this, I missed two classes I was required to take. I made one of them up at the beginning of last semester. However, the last one is only offered in the summer. Being able to serve the Lord in Australia that summer was far more than worth it and I gladly pushed off graduation for that opportunity.
We are gearing up for an action packed summer. We will be helping two churches with their Vacation Bible Schools. This past week, I practiced one of my Australian lessons with our children at our sending church. Dressing up in full safari gear, I took the children into the outback looking for kangaroos and learning about what God can teach us through them. We're excited for what God has in store for this summer.
As I mention in the prayer letter, June 2nd marks our first meeting on full-time deputation. We are in a church almost every Sunday from that point until December. Please be in prayer that God would work in lives, that we'd be able to be a blessing and help to churches, and that we would raise our support in an efficient and timely manner. We know that with God, all things are possible.
Your prayers and support mean the world to us. Thank you so much for the encouraging emails, kind letters, and wonderful gifts that you have given to us. You are a vital part of our ministry.
In Christ,
Traver Freeman
