"I have set the Lord continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken." Psalm 16:8 (NASB)

*IMPORTANT NOTE: We are beginning to set our calendar for our home assignment time. We plan to be based in PA from August 2006 through June 2007. Please contact us with any specific dates that you would like us to be with you or at your church so that we can put them on our calendar. We hope to see and visit with many of you during that time.

Dear Prayer Partner,

We need to continually set the Lord before us and our plans. With Him before us we cannot be shaken, whatever difficult times we might go through. Please continue to lift us up before the throne of grace:

PRAISES
1) We praise God for a great CAM Mexico Partnership Forum in January. We hosted Daryl and Jenn Martin from Christian Fellowship Church, New Holland, PA, for this time of seeing what CAM's ministry in Mexico is about and how to be involved. People from various US churches came down to Mexico for this forum, and we praise God that it went very well.
2) We praise God for the home assignment seminar we were able to attend here in Mexico in preparation for our time in the US on home assignment coming up later this year. It was a very helpful time of eye-opening and planning. We learned very much and got some goals and plans in place.
3) We praise God for more people getting involved here at the New Birth Bible Church. The transition seems to be going in the right direction for our departure.

PRAYER ITEMS
1) Please continue to pray for our transition for home assignment. Pray that our children would adjust and do well as we hope to put Kendra and Tara into the public school system for that year. Pray that our housing situation would be concreted in the Lord's timing. We praise God that we have a couple of possibilities now. Pray for the church here to continue to transition well.
2) Please pray for our time with family this month. We praise God that Bryan's sister, Rebecca, and her husband, Yoshioki, and their boys, will be here to visit us from Japan this coming week. We look forward to spending time with them and for the cousins to be together, along with Grandma and Grandpa Smith.
3) Please pray for the people and families that we continue to disciple, two families specifically: Margarita and her teen/adult children Mauricio, Mariana, and MaryCarmen, for unity as a family, and lives that reflect Christ's love. Isela and her children Ivan, Gaby, and Diana. Pray for Isela's husband, Oliver, to trust in Christ and be open to studying God's Word with his family. Pray that we would be able to finish out our discipleship opportunities well before we leave at the end of June.

As always, please visit our website for pictures and more news. Read and see how Tara lost her two front teeth, and find out why all those plastic chairs are chained to the fence: http://www.smithconnection.com/
