Greetings from the City of Eternal Spring

We haven't posted anything for nearly 3 months, but that doesn't mean life has been uneventful.  Just the opposite--we're busier than ever.  Stan has been serving as the interim pastor for a local church in crisis in addition to his regular busy schedule.  It is a congregation that is full of dear people wanting to serve the Lord and to develop leaders from the laity.  The NILI semester is a large group of traditional university students and NILI Professional students.  God has blessed us with a great group of students who make our jobs a lot easier.


Sherri continues to homeschool Landon and is enjoying getting to know her son better and watching him blossom.  He is writing a full-length novel and has written 6 chapters so far.  Mary continues to do well in school and stays busy with school activities:  choir, band, drama, soccer, ministry, and the list goes on!






We celebrated Carnival at the end of February.  It is called "playing carnival" and by the pictures I think you'll understand why.





God always provides--He is faithful to our needs and He continues to protect us every day.  Sherri had a fender bender with a bus last week.  Not a lot of damage but, since it was her fault, it could have been very scary.  But within a few short minutes of the accident, Pastor Rodrigo, one of national leaders and head of security at the Seminary, happened to be driving by and pulled over.  He was able to negotiate with the bus owner and deal with the situation far better than any gringo could have.  Some would say that his timing was a coincidence--but we know better!  God is good.


Sherri's computer had some issues lately.  In December, she discovered her battery was faulty and it stopped working, and she was able to get a new one without cost.  Then in February her hard drive crashed.  Guess what?  It was still under warranty, so she was able to get a new one without cost.  We don't have current funds to replace an expensive item, so we were thrilled that God provided yet again.


We will be on Home Assignment this year from June 25 until August 18.  As usual we will be traveling across many states.  We would love to come and share our ministry with your church.  We still have several dates open depending on where you're located.  Email us at stanleyrhall@gmail.com if you'd like to schedule something.  We do Sunday and midweek services, Faith Promise conventions, zone rallies, camps, youth meetings--whatever you need.


Thank you for following our ministry and for praying for our needs.  We appreciate you!
