Dear Family & Friends, Happy Easter. I hope this Newsletter finds everyone well. I traveled to Turkey on March 4th, and it was wonderful being able to minister with some of our teammates for a 3-week period. However, at the end of week 3, my sweetheart contacted me to let me know she was not doing well emotionally. Consequently, I made the decision to return home on March 24th. With one remaining week in Turkey, a couple on our team was able to quickly step up and cover the remaining week. My sweetheart is doing somewhat better, because I am home and the doctor has made an adjustment to her medication. I hope you enjoy the newsletter. He is Risen, Mark & Pat Dear Family & Friends, First, we would like to wish you all a Happy New Year on this last day of January. Our holidays were wonderful, filled with family time with different members coming to Arizona from Texas and California. Our transition to Arizona has been pretty smooth. One big prayer request that we have is that we will find a "home church" in the coming month. Since the visa ban in Turkey has now been lifted, Mark will leave for Turkey on March 5th. and will be there 3-4 weeks followed by a week in Ukraine and a week in Slovenia. Please pray that our team's ministry time abroad will be fruitful, and safe for all that participate. We hope you enjoy this month's newsletter. We send our love and prayers, Mark & Pat Dear Family & Friends, September to November has been a blur. We closed escrow on our home in Leander, TX on September 18th and traveled to Surprise, AZ on the 20th. We looked at 7-homes on the 22nd of Sept. and made an offer on the 2nd home we looked at the same day. The next day. Sept. 23rd, our offer was accepted, and on the 18th of October we closed on the new house. We moved into our home almost 5-weeks ago. Two weeks after we moved in we were able to have guests from Austin come and spend the night. Their visit was way too short. In this month's newsletter, you will read about how Haven of Hope is meeting a real need, and the ripple effects are felt thousands of miles away! God touched a couple in Turkey through our ministry there so profoundly that it has led a couple from Malaysia to request a spot at our time in Istanbul in March 2018. Praise God! As we continue to expand our ministry to Eastern Europe and beyond, the finances are not keeping up with the need to host couples in the countries we are going to.

We wish you all a blessed Christmas and New Year. We send our love, Mark & Pat |
