Family Update

Family picture at Crater Lake

All is good with the Walter clan. Summer is flying bye, and because of the unusual cool weather here, it has not even felt like summer has begun. This summer we have seen our oldest turn 17 (Anders), and our youngest turn 2 (Adalyn) . In a week we will be heading to Canada for summer vacation to meet up with Sarah's folks just outside Jasper National Park, in BC. Summer has kept us busy with berry picking, hiking, and trying to be outside as much as we can because we know soon enough the dismal northwest rains will begin. I am excited to be heading to Wisconsin in September to meet with a supporting church of ours, as well as in October I will be heading up to teach a week on evangelism at YWAM Discovery Bay, WA. The kids are all doing great, each so unique and different in their own ways. Sarah keeps the ship running and afloat, and I buy groceries. We are truly grateful for all of the prayers and financial support we receive from you all. No words can express our gratitude enough. Thank you so much for believing in us, our calling, and our ministry. We are forever grateful!  Some of you have asked about me being more specific for needs and prayer requests. Twenty years in missions, and it is still always tough for me to make our needs known...pride can be a not good thing at times! So, here are some major needs we have...three in particular at this time.  First, we unfortunatley lost a large supporter and presently need to raise funds to compensate for what we lost. So please pray for provision in this regard. Second, we still need to raise about $700 for the rest of our homeschool curriculum, and third, we are in need of a new computer. Our old one is essentially done, so I am relying on using my work computer at home...not the best option. Those are our two major "needs" at this time, and thank you for praying for them!  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check out our ministry website to see all the ins and outs of what we are up to. God is doing some great things!! https://www.gospelfocusministries.com/
