Fall in New York - A Time of Travel and Blessing

Last time we wrote it was a time of quiet and rest for our family. God saw us through meetings in Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin this summer. But for the most part we were home in Indiana and used our time to further purge and pack our belongings in anticipation for our eventual move to West Africa. Some of the churches that we visited this summer are longtime supporters of the Marshall family. In one church we ran into people who remember Joseph as a small child! This time of connecting with God's people in churches across the northeast leaves us encouraged and determined to keep pressing on!

We are currently in upstate NY for the next 8-9 weeks. Our schedule is full. We just finished 5 days of meetings at Perth Bible Church in Amsterdam NY. Their heartbeat for God's work around the world is amazing and we were humbled to be a part of the missions conference there. Once again our family was loved from the first moment we arrived and encouraged to stay the course!

This coming weekend we will travel to PA where we have meetings booked for the next two Sundays. After that we return to New York to continue with meetings here.

God has provided again for our housing by placing our family at Sacandoga Bible Conference where they have graciously offered one of their A-frame cottages for our family's use. Everyday we are awed by God's creation as we rise and look out upon the fall beauty. The air is crisp but we have been warmed inside by the wood burning stove. Our family time is sweet and our time in and out of churches all the sweeter.

We are thankful for the days and weeks and pray that we will continue to be faithful through out.

• Please pray for us as we travel and speak in Pennsylvania over the next 2 Sundays. 
• Please pray for Joe as he connects with a contact in Maine who is knowledgeable in the Agricultural world and we believe will be a strong resource for Joe as he develops the vocational training school's curriculum. 
• Please pray for our boys as they continue with their studies on a daily basis!
• Please continue to pray that God would connect us with churches who would allow us to share the burden He has laid upon our hearts for Benin and West Africans.
