“Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,” Ephesians 5:22,25 (NKJV)

This month we attended the Mid-Winter Couples’ Retreat  where we were reminded of and refreshed in God’s Word. This year of deputation has been filled with blessings as well as struggles. Sundays are no longer days of rest anymore and each of us has expectations of how deputation should go. Needless to say, it feels like this past year we have had more conflict in our marriage than at any other point. It was a blessing to be reminded of our roles in marriage as well as, “where wars and fights come from.” (James 4:1) We were reminded to continually check the condition of our hearts, because that is where the conflict begins. One of our biggest areas of conflict has been loading the van. We are learning to minimize this by packing early and setting up travel bags in advance.

This month, we shared our ministry at Community Regular Baptist Church in Bussey, IA; Harmony Baptist Church in Galesburg, IL; and Bethel Baptist Church in Carroll, IA. Finally, we are praising God for five months in a row of increased support. This month He provided increased support from a supporting church. Thank you for your continued prayers and encouragement.

Fulfilling the great commission together,

Brian, Brenda, Amanda, Luke, Nathanael and Rebekah Krueger
