Pray for Charles and Sharon.  Charles is back from Taiwan however, he still is not able to practice or perform well enough on his violin.  They are trusting the Lord for guidance.

Praise the Lord that Chet is starting a new job this Tuesday.  The company is called Old Castle and it is in Napolean, OH.  They do plastic molding and make cases for underground communications.  When they first offered him a job, he would have had to work nights on Saturdays and Sundays every other week....which would mean he would need to sleep most of the day on Sunday.  He balked and told them he would need to think about it and check out another company.  When he called them back a few days later, Old Castle said they were setting him up for an interview with a M-F job at $2 more per hour.  So, we are praising the Lord for that!
Chet's wife, Mai, may be coming home soon.  Sara McIntosh has been working hard at figuring out ways her prescriptions and medical care can be covered in an affordable way.  Mai is excited and we are too!  We're thankful for the work God is doing in this family.  To have positive anticipation from all sides about her moving home is a miraculous answer to prayer!

We have had some visitors at our new church.  At times, we have had up to 31 people in the McIntosh home.  We're trusting the Lord to build the church as He wants it.  We have purchased a nice prayer stand which we need prayer for that it would be used for souls and His glory.
Tom's widow has been attending some and was in tears several times last service.  Pete (Tom's son) and Angie are still hungry and have attended some as well.  They continue to need prayer in all the decisions that come with seeking the Lord.  Their daughter, who is 11, has expressed to us her desire to live a more godly lifestyle and to be faithful to church.  She gave her heart to the Lord at Salvation Army camp a few weeks ago.  Today, we were able to take her shopping for some more modest clothes as that is one of her desires.

Jordan and Naomi are coming to visit the first two weeks of September so we are excited about that!
