Where We've Been

As Becky and I laid Josiah in his crib at about 10:30pm, he whispered "...Nigh, Nigh..." "You said it!" I told him. The last few weeks have been real busy but profitable! We took part in three back to back missions conferences:

October 28-29th Raymond Baptist Church
November 1-5th Calvary Bible Church, Derry
November 6-12th Merrimack Valley Baptist Church

We did everything from visiting Spanish and grade school classes, preaching in chapel times, and sharing our presentation. A lot of time was spent just getting to know people which was great.

Last night (Nov. 15th) I went on a solo mission to Twin Mountain Baptist Church, in Twin Mountain NH. It was about a 2 hour car ride. I raced home from work at about 4:00, showered, shaved and hit the road at 4:20. I got there at about 6:15 and set everything up for prayer meeting at 7pm.

November 18-20th - Old Saybrook, CT

Praises:
God's Provision: We are overwhelmed by the generosity of God's people. It is really humbling, knowing that the King of Kings never leaves us hanging but provides abundantly.

Many Meetings: A full fall and winter schedule in New England!

Prayer Requests:
A neighbor in our park lost her home in a devastating fire. Pray for her, that God would work out all things together for good.

That we would abide in Christ and our ministry in churches would challenge and bring about change.

A friend's mother who is battling cancer, pray for healing.

Thanks for your faithful prayers!
-Steve, for the Diem Family


On the random side of life:

Steve, Becky, and Josiah,

Great post, as always. I really miss seeing you guys regularly. I saw Becky the other day, but I haven't seen Steve in like forever. No fun :(

Hey, Twin Mountain NH is beautiful! My family and I spent a weekend up there early this fall. It was a great spot to watch the leaves turn color and praise God for His amazing creation.

God bless you guys!

with love,
