Special Thanks!

Our family and especially Kathleen would like to say a big thank you to two special Ladies’ groups who gave special offerings to get some of our appliances replaced!! Although the dollar is very weak right now, the Lord blessed! A major appliance store in our area was having a big renovation sale and we were able to replace the washer, dryer and dish washer.

Baptism
We were able to baptize a young lady from Zimbabwe in July. She is such a great addition to our church! She is an Au-pair for a german family. She travels on the streetcar/bus for half an hour to get to church every sunday morning!





More health Updates!
Our 18 year old son, Stefan broke both bones in the lower part of his left leg while skateboarding the 4th day of his summer vacation. He had to have surgery, two pins and a plate in his heel, as he chipped off a piece of that also. He was in the hospital for 6 days, but was allowed to come to church on the sunday he was there. He is on crutches for the next 6 weeks with physical therapy to help strengthen the bones again.




Kathleen’s Father, Jim Garrison went in for an appendectomy on Sunday, July 12th. During surgery, they noticed that he had another infection on his Intestines. The day after surgery, his kidney shut down and his blood pressure sank dangerously. He was admitted to ICU in St. John’s hospital in Springfield, MO. for about a week, until they could get him stabilized once more. He was moved to a regular room and then was able to come home on July 22nd. Praise the Lord! Please continue to pray for his health. They have scheduled a colonoscopy in three weeks to determine the source of the other infection that he has. Please continue to pray for him to regain his strength, so that he can continue to report to his churches.

Thank you so much for all your prayers and financial support to support the Lord’s work here in Darmstadt! Please pray that many churches will have the ability to raise our monthly support or to start supporting us financially.

Serving Together,

William and Kathleen Busch
