Fall 2011 Update
October 29, 2011 4:00 pm Be EncouragedThe busy days of summer are behind us and crisp air has arrived, both in Michigan (Wendi’s home) and yes . . . even Florida (Karilee’s abode). We are so blessed by your prayers, support, and love as we continue to minister to hurting families.
HIGHLIGHTS:
WCM parents’ retreat—a wonderful, relaxing time, as hurting parents came together Sept. 9-11 for encouragement and fellowship. The excellent accommodations and superb homemade food at Oak Forest Center in Frederic, Wisconsin set an uplifting tone as attendees enjoyed music by Josh Calhoun, a former “wild child” himself. Dan and Wendi each taught sessions and Karilee joined in for Q & A. Look for another retreat: Fall 2012
Wendi’s Schooling & Work—nearing the finish line! Wendi has finished her “Practicum” of 100 hours and is one-quarter of the way through her “Internship” hours (700 needed), working at the Webster Youth House in Muskegon, MI, an outreach to troubled teens, and at Every Woman’s Place, where she works with domestic violence clients. Wendi will take her final class next semester and will graduate in the spring of 2012. We thank everyone for their prayers on Wendi’s behalf.
Even though her schedule has been “crazy-full,” and chronic infections still flair up regularly, her liver-function seems to be improving. With all that is before her, God continues to give Wendi sufficient strength and ability to work, study, counsel, and speak. (This month Wendi spoke at a parolee event, where she was able to share her story of God’s grace in her life.)
Wild Child, Waiting Mom Book Reprint—thank you, each one who donated toward this project. We are happy to announce that our reprint will take place the first part of November . . . and none too soon, as we are almost to the bottom of our supply. What a joy it has been to see God meet this important need through you.
Thank you, dear friends in Christ, for supporting Wild Child Ministries through gifts, prayers, and love. May you sense our Lord’s presence and guidance each and every day – and may His deep love encompass your hearts and minds with His abiding peace.
“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise; be thankful unto him and bless his name.” Psalm 100:4
