Hello praying saints,
 
Thanks for all of your prayers to date.  God is, and has been working.  What a great God we serve!!
 
Robert is out of prison, I mean the hospital rather,  and is at home.  Basically, not much discovered.  His heart is good according to all of the blood work and tests they did, perhaps tired, as they put it.  But, no major find for a cause.  Likely hereditary we suppose.  He is home and appreciates greatly all of the concern, love and prayers sent his way.  Pray for him to take these next couple of weeks easy and do what the doctors ask of him.  Robert needs grace to know when and how to say no to people calling, wanting fellowship, counsel and so forth.  I believe they have told him that now he has to follow a more strict diet, lose some of that over 40 belly, and get more consistent exercise.  Pray for God's grace and discipline in all of these things too.
 
Amy's dad is better too, Praise God.  He is very tired and very weak though.  The prayer now is for strength for Roy.  Once he gains enough strength he can be  transfered and begin therapy.  They need him to be at a certain level before they can get him in Therapy.  Amy says that he has been somewhat consistent in these past 3 days with eating and being coherent when he is awake, but still sleeps a lot (somewhat normal for such a brain trauma).  May God do what only he can do, strengthen, encourage, heal, bless, help and lead.
 
Negists do(g) bite is better but still is painful and has kept her off of her feet and away from her work duties for the last several weeks.  Pray for total healing of the wound and for her to re-adjust back into the groove of work etc...
 
Our meeting with the owner and his attorney was postponed today at the request of the attorney and her scheduling from what I understood.  We should see them tomorrow or Friday.  Please keep that in prayer.  Lots of little details and intricacies that only God can cover us on and give us wisdom for.  Lord willing that we should be able to sign the contract by the first part of next week, we will need to have quite a bit of cash to cover first and last months rent,  one month's worth rent for the deposit, as well as various other expenses.  So far we have seen just over half of that amount (e 4000) provided for, but still need more.  Do pray!  If you are among the few that aren't experiencing too much of a pinch financially at this time and you feel led to give, there is a special account set up at CC Boise for the building fund.
 
To those of you who support us monthly or may be helping with the building and such, I have recently been kindly corrected concerning who the checks need to be made out to.  Make checks payable to CCM with Italy in the memo.  Somehow we were missing a "C" in the CCM.  If you want it to go specifically to the building as a one time donation or monthly help on the rent, attach separately a note with "building" or "The Vine" which is our association name in Rome.  That way those funds won't end up buying supplies of diapers or something :), but will go directly to the administrative side of ministry as opposed to our personal needs.
 
We will get out an update soon.  Thanks for your faithfulness to the Lord, to us, and to CC Rome.  Please pray for the body in this time of transition.  Some, naturally, have stopped coming.  We pray it is only temporary but we know that change is difficult too.
 
If you ever have any questions regarding the ministry here please feel free to email us and ask.
