Dear Friends and Supporters:
This morning I was reading Psalm 72 and verse 17 was impressed upon my heart. "His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in Him; all nations shall call Him blessed." This will finally take place during the 1000 year reign of Christ on this earth but we can praise His name which is everlasting, even now, and we desire to do that with all of our hearts, because He has done so much and is doing so much for us.
This summer has come and gone so quickly that we hardly know what happened. The trip to Europe is still very much on our minds, it seems like yesterday I was in Poland, Czech Republic, and Germany with Voltaire. What a great time we had. As we mentioned, our two sons Bobby and Brent were ordained on July 20/2008, we had a wonderful family reunion after that with many of our family, as well as John Parschauer's family from Sandusky, OH. The reunion was held at Judy and Chuck's farm just outside of Cleveland, OH.
It was so much fun just being together after not seeing each other for so many years. The grand kids, moms and dads and grand parents all enjoyed horseback riding, four wheeling, driving tractors, target shooting, playing in the hay loft, and every night sitting around a camp fire, singing and fellowshipping with each other. WE told stories to the kids and watched the sun go down. It was like our own little summer camp as a family. I hope it won't be too long until we can do that again.
After returning back from Florida, I had much to do to catch up with all the office work and have been involved during the rest of the summer with setting up the next tours for our European teams.
Our next tour will be from October 17 - November 9, 2008 with Concert Pianist Gregor Breier and our Word of Life Bulgaria director Sergii and Tania Tyshchenko. We are asking the Lord for $30,000 in offerings and pledges during the tour. We would especially ask for you to pray for the people that we will be ministering to. I would ask for strength for me and that the Spirit of God would use my messages to challenge hearts towards missions. There are so many needs all over the world and especially now, we need your prayers as the economy is hurting and people are being very careful with their finances. We will be doing about 25 concerts and would ask that you look at the schedule and pray for us especially during this time.
Right now, Betts ans I are at our son Bobby's watching over our three grandchildren while Bobby and Jen are ministering in Austria. After they return, we will go to the Cancer Treatment Center in Philadelphia again for Betts' "Six-Month" check up. We appreciate your prayers so much regarding this.
On October 3rd, we will arrive home in order to do the last minute preparations for the tour and begin preparing for the next tours.
Thank you again so much for your faithful support and prayers for us. We could not be doing this work without you. Please send us your prayer requests as we pray for you all every week.
Our Love and Prayers,
Bob & Betts Parschauer
