Dear Friends and Family,

This week has been wonderful and filled with many marvelous blessings... On
Tuesday we finally made contact with two warehouses within just a few
hundred miles that we will be able to get supplies from. But also, we made
three other good contacts which include manufactures of various items,
building materials, and a truck at a reasonable price!

But the most wonderful blessing of the week I wanted to share has to do with
you...

Tiffany and I made the decision just shy of three years ago to make the move
to Selmer, Tennessee to help grow this ministry with a warehouse for
supplies to be stored and shipped to churches and ministries across the
country and around the world to use these items as tools to share the
Gospel. Well, after many miles traveled, visits made, prayers, tears and
sweat... The building will be here Saturday! We are so excited!

We have had a tough 2 1/2 years; we have had some pretty discouraging times,
but that's ok, our God has continued to be faithful and kept His hand on
this work, Praise the Lord! But this is not the end, just the beginning. The
building will take about 2-2 1/2 weeks to construct, then we will have the
electricians come in; some last minute concrete work will be done; security
system installed; doors erected; racks installed; and then we will begin to
bring in some supplies. Pray for good weather, and that no one gets hurt in
the whole building process-  we should have some supplies inventoried in
just a few weeks, and Lord willing, we will be shipping by mid-July.

Also, please pray for us this next week, we have a trip scheduled to the
Pittsburgh area. Tiffany's cousin is getting married, and we will be
visiting two churches en route, and also visiting one of the warehouses we
have contacted for supplies. We are looking forward to the trip, both to see
Tiff's family, and also to meet with God's family at the churches along the
way! I am excited as well to meet with the folks at the warehouse and see
what may be available through them. Please pray for safety and travel
mercies; we thank you for your continued prayers for us and this ministry.

This morning I was reading in Psalms 1:1-3
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands
in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his
delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and
night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings
forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and
whatever he does shall prosper.
"...its fruits in its seasons..." I am truly grateful it is His fruits in
His seasons. I cannot control that which is His plan, but I can control my
obedience to His call. His Word says don't walk in ungodliness, nor stand in
the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful; but it does say,
feast and be filled on His Word and in His time His plant (that's us!) will
reap a great harvest for Him.

No withered leaves here!
In Him,
Jim Fredrickson
