Becky is still being seen at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. She has had a couple of appointments and has gotten LOTS of information; actually she is in information OVERLOAD!

There was an error in scheduling her MRI, so that will be done on Monday the 27th at 10:00 a.m. They will be injecting a dye to get better images. She will be seen by the surgeon that same afternoon. They are also running a series of tests regarding her failing eye sight, “curtains” of grey that black out her vision from time to time, as well as why she has fallen or tripped so often over the past year or so.

Please keep our family in prayer. First, pray for Becky’s health as well as wisdom for the doctors. Pray for our family- we don’t do well separated! The kids are having a hard time with Mom being gone! Becky hates being alone as well! It is hard for me, because I am torn between multiple responsibilities; supporting my wife, caring for my kids as well as the ministry here in Peru!

On top of all that is the stress created by the financial pressures! The Lord has laid on our hearts to contact a handful of Pastors to pray about helping with this need. We have never asked for help for personal needs, but I guess that is why we have “supporting” churches! We are truly blessed to have such a tremendous group of supporters! Please pray for God’s will to be done, in His timetable.

One last item… please pray for a major evangelistic program we are planning with a group from Faith Baptist in Tacoma, WA, August 13-24. We have been praying and preparing our workers for a great harvest of souls. We are tentatively planning 4 different children’s outreach programs, 4 revival campaigns in 4 different cities, as well as passing out thousands of tracts! Please pray for God’s perfect will to be done.

Feel free to call or write to us here in Peru, or contact Becky at becky@earnharts.com I know she would appreciate your words of encouragement. She is staying with my parents in Rochester.

Just a quick note to ask for your prayers for Becky. In February she took a fall down the stairs and got her arm caught in the railing. She has had consistant pain since that time and lately the pain has become more intense.

We had had Xrays taken as well as a MRI here in Peru. We have sent the images to the Mayo clinic and we are in the process of getting an appontment for Becky. Becky will be traveling to Minnesota this Thursday at midnight (12 am Friday).

Please pray for... Becky's health and wisdom for the attending doctors.
... Family (everyone does poorly when Mom is gone!)
... Finances, well, right now there arn't any!
... Future, wisdom to do what is right.

You can email Becky at becky@earnharts.com , call us at 760-466-7684. Once Becky gets to Minnesota she will activate a cell phone and I will pass along that number.

Greetings from Peru! Today actually finds Jonathan and me in the capital city of Lima. I'm posting this blog from the very plush and comfortable chairs of Starbucks! We have taken a few days to 'come apart' and enjoy each other's company as we celebrate 18 years of marriage. It seems like only yesterday we were travelling together on a singing team representing our college. Those days were so much fun...that we've chosen to 'travel together' 'til death do us part :-) I am so blessed to serve alongside my best friend. Not everyone can say that, you know!

We're enjoying the slow pace and are looking forward to catching up on some reading as well as much needed rest. We hope to visit an incredible park with huge fountains of water that have laser displays and synchronized music ...it's quite romantic, I must add. We've also made reservations to see a free play tomorrow night. I know we'll enjoy these few days together and it will be a wonderful opportunity to renew our commitment to the Lord and to each other.
