Just a note to let you know that we are praying for you today. Hope all is going well for everyone in the family. Praying for growth in your worship/church inspirations. God loves you and so does Russiaville Friends in Indiana. Still thinking of the changes each of you are facing in this commitment.

Our meeting, Cedar Square Friends in Archdale, NC has been given thousands of socks from a hosiery mill close out. My husband and daughter will be visiting Belize in about 2 weeks. Could you use socks for the boys?

Dear Mr. and Mrs.Barber, I just wanted to thank you for answering God's call and coming to my country. My son is at your school and for the first time in a long time he is actually enjoying going to school. He looks forward to going each day and makes sure he leaves home early. He is excited about what he learns and works hard so he can be rewarded at school and at home. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND DON'T GET WEARY IN DOING GOOD.God bless you and your family.

I realized a few things this week. One is that middle school boys are middle school boys. Two it is possible to have at least 4 levels of reading with major gaps between form pre reading to 8th grade level. Three it saddens me when I see parents use their children to get things for themselves. Through it all, God is good!

We will be in Belize from July 9th - 20th seeking God's will for our lives. We are emailing existing ministries the Lord places on our hearts to hopefully visit sometime during out stay in Belize. We are renting a vehicle, so will have some flexibility. This is a discovery trip for us to get an overview of places we might serve as the Lord leads. Would someone be available to meet with us and give us an overview of ministry opportunities? Also, if you could recommend lodging in the area for 6: my husband & I, my grown daughter and her 3 children (14 yr. old daughter, 11 and 9 year old sons). Thanks so much for your assistance. Blessings! Jan Johnson :)

Hi! Glad to hear the earthquake didn't cause any big problems for you! Look forward to hearing more from you on a regular basis so I can share with the church and better encourage their financial support. This week May 31-June 5 is our VBS and we're using the FUM summer mission project. So it would be great if you could email me a story or two about the boys who will be attending the school, or about what is taught, age levels, how they pay, etc.; to pass on to the kids in our 3 minute mission talks at the beginning of VBS. The more info. I have the better the kids will connect and be excited about helping by giving their money. Thanks in advance! Blessings and prayers...Margaret

Hi, Praying for you as you travel. Wondered if you could mail some photos of your family to me to display at Bangor Liberty. I'd like to make a bulletin board about your future work in Belize and know photos always attract more attention. Would appreciate anything you can send.
Great to meet you last night. All of you are in our prayers as you make these monumental transitions in your life. (And I thought our life was crazy!)
