Barton Spencer update--

Here is the latest update from Barton. A decision should be made today about surgery or radiation on the brain lesion. If you would like to send Barton an email, the hospital will print it and deliver it to his room. You can click on the hompage for Forrest General Hospital below. When you get to the homepage, under featured links, click on "Email a patient". His room number is 6612. It's very encouraging for patients to receive these notes brought to their room.

Craig & Merschon Hutson...Ireland Support

We want to thank you for all your advocacy, encouragement and prayer on behalf of our upcoming mission to Dublin, Ireland. God has brought us to an exciting moment in our preparations and we are almost ready to move to Dublin!

The sale of our home should be completed soon and we are now finalizing our travel and relocation arrangements in hopes of a mid-August departure for Ireland. On Sunday, July 11th, we shared a wonderful covenant service with our sending congregation, the University Church of Christ in Tuscaloosa, AL and have their blessing to get to the mission field as soon as possible.

The only remaining obstacle is collecting the rest of our monthly financial support...and we are SO close

To complete our funding we need 40 people that will pledge $50 per month.

(Of course, no pledge is too small and if you are able to pledge more than $50 per month we will rejoice in that too.)

Hopefully you have received the mission information and donation materials in the mail over the past few months. If you have not or have misplaced it, we are happy to provide you with anything that will be helpful. We have attached to this email a copy of our support request letter. Just mail in the bottom portion of that letter with any contribution to designate the specifics of your support.

Please prayerfully consider your support and feel no obligation, only an opportunity to partner with us in God' s mission to the lost in Ireland.

Thank you for your time, prayers and support!

In Christ alone,

Craig and Merschon Hutson
