Steven will participate in the commencement exercises at Bob Jones University at 9:00 AM, May 3. He will still need to complete 4 courses in Summer School, but the end of the road is near. He has requested a schedule change at his job to accommodate the classes. His plans beyond graduation include marriage. No date has been set, but they hope to get those details worked out within the next couple of months. Diane is from the Greenville area. Her family attends Mt Calvary Baptist Church.
Keep praying for the Lord's direction in Steven's life. He feels inclined to a career in business, but needs the Lord's direction to find that niche that he should fill. Thank you for your continued prayers.

Return Date Set
After conferring with Dr Mark Batory at GFA, we have set June 6 as our return date. After just over a year's absence, we will finally be headed home. Everyone is excited by the prospect of unpacking our suitcases and living a more normal life than furlough affords. We have enjoyed our travels, but there is no substitute for being where God has appointed you to be.
In the interval we have meetings in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Pray with us that the Lord will use these meetings in a special way to touch the hearts of His people and to call the unconverted to Himself. Pray also that these and other furlough contacts will be led of the Lord to join our support family so that our income will be adequate to our needs.
As you know our past term was rather trying in financial terms, but the Lord has allowed us to make up ground during our travels. We still lack about $450 per month to reach 100%. We will be contacting some churches in Ohio to see if we can participate in a few missions conferences in the Fall and/or Spring to help see our support need met as well.
The Lord has provided tickets for us at just over $150 per person (all taxes and fees included). However, since there are six of us, we will still spend over $900. Another $900 will be spent in shipping our van from Jacksonville, FL to Puerto Rico, $95 more will be spent on a one-night hotel stay in Jacksonville, and $250 on a one-day van rental to take us from Jacksonville to Orlando. Nothing is free, but the Lord always provides what is needed.
