Helping in PA & NY

Hey all,
Just a note to update you on our delay in going out west. I have been asked for some continued help at both Pinebrook Bible Conference and on a building project in upstate New York. I will be in New York from August 3 - 8 and again at Pinebrook from August 16 - 20. I just want to keep our donors updated as to when we'll be heading out again. The donations we have received so far have only come to about 2 weeks of financing, so the Lord has provided some work opportunities for me. Once there is enough money in the bank to last a month or two, we will be able to head out. Our departure date appears to be around August 22. This will keep us in the northern half of the United States for a much shorter time than expected before we head south for warmer weather. I have done some research and found that Ohio has many first-time homeless in their population, because of the terrible economy. So Columbus seems a possible destination. Please continue to pray for the Lord to make our path clear. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
This verse is one I am reminded of as we seek His wisdom in where we will go, and serves as a great tool to minister to those who are homeless for the first time.

Peace & Grace
Doug & Family
