We stand amazed at God’s continued blessings and provision for Wild Child Ministries. He has blessed us with YOU — our prayer partners and giving partners — and has answered so many prayers along the way: recently bringing Wendi back to better health, opening new doors of ministry, and providing strength and wisdom for daily responsibilities. We cannot thank you enough for your prayers! WE LOVE EACH OF YOU, and PRAISE GOD FOR THE LOVE YOU HAVE SHOWN US.
Our hearts are burdenedNot a week goes by, but that we hear from anguished mothers and fathers of children caught in the world’s web of deceit, the seeming “thrill” of wild living having captured their hearts (Christian and non-Christian alike). Yet, we know – we have seen – our powerful God, full of love and mercy, does step into the chaos of sin and rebellion to bring a prodigal back home. What a joy! What a testimony to God’s grace! We encourage each of you to pray regularly (by name) for any struggling teen of which you are aware . . . for, prayer avails much! (James 5:16).
September officially ushers in fall (at least on the calendar), and the resumption of school and classes. For Wendi, studies for her Masters began late August – she is already nearing the completion of her first class (Thanks again to everyone who showered her with cards for her B.A. graduation.) Please continue to pray for Wendi as she follows this path of God’s leading in her life.
The summer afforded many opportunities to share our book, Wild Child, Waiting Mom, and to counsel and encourage prodigals and their families. We continue to interact with parents facing the heartbreak of wayward children, and in this, we deeply appreciate your support and prayers.
TEN YEARS! As I pause this summer to consider my life, I realize that this December will mark ten years of living in Michigan – the place where I was changed forever as I let go of my rebellion and gave Christ control. And it is here, in Grand Haven MI, that I now live each day with a renewed passion to reach the lost. God continues to open incredible doors of outreach with many opportunities to witness right here where I live and work.
Speaking Engagements for Wendi English:
May 3 – New Beginnings Church – Six Lakes, Michigan
Sunday a.m. – Testimony and Q & A
Sunday p.m. – “Getting inside the Mind of your Prodigal”
God brought Wendi to this church during a hurting time for their youth, since the week prior to her speaking, a teen had committed suicide. Tender hearts and questions gave Wendi a wonderful opportunity to encourage and stir their hearts toward not only being aware of hurting teens, but the importance of keeping the doors of communication open.
