| Dear All, Thursday’s Bottom Line: The “Better Together” marriage seminar was small but mighty. Scott will present his “Raising Champions” parenting seminar on Saturday, preach at Wilson and Angelica’s church on Sunday, and begin his trek home on Monday. Thursday’s Prayer Requests: 1. The Holy Spirit’s guidance as Scott searches today for the right Filipino publisher for his book. 2. The couples who attended the marriage seminar to transition the information they learned into practical actions and ongoing habits. 3. Parents to come to Saturday’s “Raising Champions” seminar with open minds and leave greatly encouraged. |
| Thursday’s Details: Scott’s book, Raising Disciple-Makers, is now at the publisher (hooray!), so U.S. readers will be able to order it soon. He’s also looking into having it printed in other nations for local distribution; that would be more cost-effective than shipping books overseas. Since he’s not scheduled to teach anywhere on Friday (Thursday night MO time), he’s planning to meet with some potential publishers in the Villasis area then. About Thursday’s marriage seminar, he said, “Small crowd, but big impact. I think there were 6 pastoral couples and a few others.” |
 My man is an engaging speaker! |
| There was a special time for each couple to find a quiet place alone and use the Ten Most Powerful Words. |
 Forgiveness and reconciliation |
| On a much lighter note, Scott sent these two pictures and asked, “Ever wonder where bananas come from?” |
  |
| I’m pretty sure “Walmart” is not the answer he was looking for. I’m going to hit “Send” on this update and then go eat a banana, but first, would you please take a moment to pray for Scott today? Thank you! Blessings, Patty |
