March 10, 2009

March 10, 2009 Harry's mom, Helen Hyde at 96 years of age went from her sleep to eternity with Jesus. No matter how much we might know with our minds that death could come at any time it is still a shock and sorrow to our hearts. We as a family will miss Mom Hyde but know she was ready to meet her Savior and we look forward to one day meeting again in eternity. Harry flew back home for her funeral. We are thankful for his brother Jerry and our sons and their families who were there to celebrate her homegoing with him. Also to so many other family and friends who came to share and support them in their sorrow, thank you!

March, 2009

Praise and Thanksgiving:
1. Lynn was able to spend 20 days of February in Indiana. We had 2 new grandchildren born in January, Daniel Grayson to Jeremy and Gwen Hyde on January 4 and Melody Joy to Jonathan and Abby Hyde on January 30. These were really special days for Lynn as she spent a week with each of these families and then the weekends with our other 2 sons and their families. Harry continued teaching his classes and work here in Venezuela and endured a quiet house till Lynn returned.
2. Praise for the classes on finances that Harry recently finished. He hopes to be able to teach this class this fall in the Dominican Republic.


Prayer Requests:
1.Wisdom for Pastor Armando on the next steps and vision for the future of the house church in Guatire. Will the house church continue as such or begin to develop into a regular church? They are outgrowing the space of the pastors home.
2. That we might be able to encourage more young people and male leadership to participate in the classes that the Center for Ministry Development is offering.
3. March 24 Harry will start teaching a class on using Inductive Bible Study with Romans as the base.
4. Easter Sunday outreach in Miranda Park with our 3 churches participating in a united service and doing some evangelizing in the park afterward.
