that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.”

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your many notes, letting us know you are praying for us! We need God’s wisdom and blessing every day, that we might be pleasing to Him.
We have spoken with the Kinney family several times since they left for their “round-robin” mission conference in Maine. They are headed to the next church today, and things are going well.
Sunday here in Auburn was a very enjoyable day of worship, learning, and fellowship with the church. Noah led the music for all three services, and we both shared our testimonies in the morning. In Pastor Kinney’s absence, one of the growing men in the church preached two very good messages from Deuteronomy 6.

We have already enjoyed the gracious hospitable spirit of the people here. The Wells, an older missionary couple also serving here, brought us lunch on Sunday, even though they are in the middle of unpacking boxes in their new home. Another older lady from the church took me (Lois) shopping yesterday, so I could learn where the stores are. We will also be joining her and her husband this evening for supper. And tomorrow I have been invited to come visit with another, newer attender at the church. Please pray for my time with her, as we are not sure of her spiritual condition.
Noah has decided which Scripture to preach from for his Sunday evening messages (1 Corinthians) and is getting busy with studying. He would appreciate your prayers for his sermon preparations and delivery. He also will continue leading music whenever the Kinneys are out of town, and we are working on special music. The church is very excited about the upcoming Vacation Bible School, and everyone is jumping into the work of preparing the VBS float for Auburn’s July 4th parade, studying lesson plans, preparing craft supplies, etc. Please pray for the Lord to prepare the hearts of us teachers, as well as the children and teens who will be attending.
Thank you again for your support and prayers. Let us know what specific prayer requests you have also, as we try to remember you on a daily basis.
Until next week,
Noah & Lois Kelley

May the soil of people’s hearts here in MA become fertile for the seed of God’s Word!
