March 6, 2010, Saturday we had "I Thirst for God, the Living God" Psalm 42:2 - Deaf Women workshop, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Hosanna Church in Marrero, LA.

Nine of us, deaf women went out to eat at Ryan's for luncheon and fellowship. After luncheon, we all went back to Hosanna Church for Deaf Women workshop. What a wonderful time!

Regayna Rester led the worship service.

Cheryl Ragas shared the word, based on John 4:4-26: it is about a woman at the well. She wanted us to see how much we all can relate to her and we all thirst for the living water. Jesus is the Water of Life. What a time of encouragement - what a refreshing time for our souls.

Carla Miller led Q&As for all of us to share what we learned from the story of a woman at the well.

Regayna, Cheryl and Carla received positive feedbacks from six deaf ladies - they are very blessed and touched by the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Jesus!

The MADMR retreat in Halifax Pennsylvania was coordinated by Chris Hughes and supported by several local pastors, including; Byron Skidmore as treasurer.  Ken Bell was the special speaker for the weekend and did a terrific job ministering to the men.  His encouragement to Grow and Change was presented very well; and it was well received.


A special offering was taken on Saturday evening for Ken and Chris to give to local ministries in the Dominican Republic this summer.  Although the men paid for their registration and gave an offering, they still had plenty in their hearts to give an additional $600.00 toward this special project.  Way to go MADMR's.

Naomi Pfinister, from Oregon, and I will be flying to Abuja, Nigeria on March 5 – 23, 2010. The Lord has opened a marvelous opportunity for us to participate in helping the Nationals design their training program for their Deaf pastors. We would covet your prayers!
