Dear Friends and Fellow Servants of Christ,

We trust this letter finds you and yours doing well and encompassed by God’s most wonderful blessings. We thank God for each of you and how each of you has been so interwoven into the fabric of our lives. As God has caused our paths to cross, and we have affected one another for God’s glory, our lives have been enriched.

Well, God is at it again. There is a small congregation in Summerville, PA that needs a pastor to lead and care for them; just as God brought each of us together so that we might meet each other’s specific needs. He is taking Valerie and I there. Summerville is 1½ hours east of Pittsburgh, PA and is a town of approximately 500. There are several towns that connect, and will bring ministry opportunities as well. Though the congregation is small, these are people whom Jesus loves, and who love Him, and they are highly prized of God. They are praying for the best pastor in the world, however they will settle for me (LOL). We will be leaving Rochester, NY on August 26th. We have 27 days to finish our packing, and then we will load the truck.

Thank you very much for your help in getting us this far. There are several needs that are upon us now, and we appreciate your continued help, Here are several ways you can help us:

1. Pray for the people of Summerville, and us, as we take up our calling amongst them. We are ready to “Preach the Word, and love the people”.

2. Pray for our relocation.

3. If you feel lead of God to help with our move we are in need of additional finances. You may give a special offering to help with the move.

We want you to know how special you are to us, and how important you are in the ministry to which God has called us. May the Lord and His wonderful grace keep you in the center of His will, where His greatest blessings will ever be yours.

Serving our gracious Lord together,

Daniel and Valerie Waugh

Village Missions

Dear Friends,

We are happy to communicate with you to share the news– we are going to be posted in rural Pennsylvania. While it’s not written in stone, this is the latest news we have. We will be replacing a retiring Village Missions missionary. We should arrive on the field by early to mid-August. There are several things we would like you to pray about:

1.) Raising additional funds for this first move. (As you may recall, Village Missions will pay for all our subsequent moves, if necessary),

2.) We need to have our partners (friends) to assist us in the expense of our move. If you can please send whatever monetary assistance you can to Village Missions, specified for the Waugh’s moving expenses.

3.) Pray for the physical portion of our move. It is an exhausting job to pack and relocate.

It is great to see God’s hand at work. He brought Village Missions into our lives, then he brought each of you onto our team to pray and support us, and now He has given us a place. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

By way of other news: Valerie and I have reached our 37th wedding anniversary. What a testimony to her endurance and perseverance.

Again, we want to thank all of you for prayers and support. We have come to feel that you are more than on our team; you are family. God bless and keep you.

In His service,

Dan and Val Waugh
