Dear Friends and Support Team,

When the Crouse family sits around and reminisces about fun times we've had, inevitably someone will bring up a previous family vacation. It's probably true in your family as well. We trust all you are experiencing some great times this summer with your families.

We think of you as our extended family, and in the summer you are especially in our thoughts and prayers. We thank God for you and for the ministry you have to us and through us. We could not exist without your prayers, encouragement, and support. We covet the personal contacts, letters, calls, and e-mails. Our day is made when one of you writes or calls with a word of encouragement, or a word of wisdom. We want the ministry to be effective and bring glory and honor to the One we serve. Believe me, we covet your insight.

Income to the ministry has been at an all-time low this summer. There have been moments of desperation. On these occasions, we certainly pray more, and question what we are to do that we are not doing, or whether or not we should change direction. The bottom line is that we want to be in a ministry where God wants us. Sometimes God chooses to speak to us through you. If that is the case, we want to hear from you.

Enclosed is part two of our briefing on the Gift of Tongues. The complete version is now available on our web site and at the Christian Interactive Network. If you want a hard copy please feel free to request it. Part one has been slighty revised and updated. If you are new to our mailing list, please note that a complete copy is enclosed.

Major prayer requests are for: personal support for staff, general support, the need to update computer equipment, for ongoing research projects, and continued interest in our web site world-wide.

For Christ and His Kingdom,

Bill Crouse, President
