June Prayer Letter from the Rader Family

June 2012

Dear Praying Friends,

June has been jammed full of blessings and infallible proofs of God’s grace. We must begin by thanking David Norton of Williamsburg, IA, for buying us a radiator. We also would like to thank Brother Steve Herrmann of Merrilville, IN for helping us to replace the radiator and fix a tail light. In addition, we owe thanks to Brother Ivan and Paul Baker for replacing our water pump and giving us date money to eat out while our van was in the shop. Thank you to the Joshua Kent Family for deciding to support us monthly. Thank you to the Bob Jones family not only for the place to stay, tire, oil change, alignment, and over-all car check-up, but also for your decision to support us monthly. Thank you to every church we visited this month for spoiling us rotten! These and so many other friends have helped us along the way. Our God is AWESOME! His servants are wonderful people.

During the month of June we were able to present our work at nine churches in seven different states. Our mission board did an excellent job this month providing a full week of vital teaching and training of need to know facts for missionaries during Missionary Candidates’ School. What a pleasure to see old friends while increasing in wisdom and knowledge.

We were blessed to see four saved this month. One afternoon Sarah flagged a young Hispanic man down who was out selling popsicles. After purchasing a popsicle and inviting him to church, she was able to share salvation’s story with Christian. Now that he has invited Christ into his life, living up to his name will be possible. The profit he made from that stop was much greater than what he got from selling a popsicle. Amen! Another one of those saved this month was a fourteen year old mother living in a shelter with her son. My heart melted while hearing her story because my grandmother also stayed in a shelter with my Dad when he was a small baby. So many people of our country need the Lord and His wisdom. God bless you as you reach out to them.

Please pray for our vehicle and safety. We will be driving many miles in July. We are truly traveling on the grace of God. We are partakers of the profits of your prayers. Please pray for our teammates already in Peru, and those preparing to depart shortly. Please continue to pray. We need you. Thank you for your prayers, support, and love. God bless you.

His for souls,

Mark, Sarah, Savannah, and Paul Rader
