Dear praying friends, March/ April 2008
Hello World!
Our precious baby, Ashley Hope, made her grand entrance into this world on February 20, 2008. As Mom was crying for joy and Dad was grinning from ear to ear, we both gained a greater awareness of the miracle of life. God had laid on our hearts the idea of reading a portion of Scripture to Ashley at her arrival. We chose Psalm 78:4,7.
We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
Please pray that as new parents we would properly train Ashley to set her hope in God and keep His commandments throughout her life. (To view pictures of Ashley, visit http://www.johnsons2dr.org.)
Home Grown Missions Conference
Before returning to language school we had one final meeting, the missions conference at our home church, Temple Baptist in Herndon, VA. This year was unique as all of the missionaries in the conference were sent out of our church. We could never put into words the range of emotions that filled us each night as we watched the video presentations of our friends that have been called into missions. In the last 5 years there have been 6 families sent out, and another family is about to begin deputation. What a blessing it has been to see our church give of their finances and people to world missions! It is impossible to thank the Lord enough for the faithful people at Temple as well as all of our supporters who have given abundantly so that we can reach the world for Christ. We are truly overwhelmed by your generosity!
