Dear Friends,

Our Lord Jesus has said, "the night cometh when no man can work. yes">   John 9:4

Well, the work certainly is not finished so we are happy to serve God as long as He sees fit to use us.  We go where we are asked to go.

Since we wrote to you last in February we have been from March 7 to 16 to visit briefly supporters, friends and family in six localities of Florida.  We don't often get to make those kinds of trips so that was a special blessing.  March 17-20 was mission conference at our local church here in Sumter, Bible Fellowship Church.  We had a veteran missionary couple, the Dyes with SIM, to stay with us in our home during that conference.

April 22 to 27 we had our CEF Director for East and Central Africa, Joseph Kavuli to stay in our home while he spoke at our local Han Sem Korean Evangelical Church that supports him monthly.

May 4 to 9 we drove up to Asheville, NC for CEF's International Conference.  There were over 1,000 CEF workers from the USA and around the world that attended that conference, including 42 of our Korean CEF workers from Korea, accompanied by a 12 member Korean childrens choir.  You may well imagine how exciting a time that was for us.  It was also good to reunite with so many of the CEF missionaries and national leaders that were trained and others we worked with over the years.  God is so good!  We want to share two comments that were made to us at that conference.

From the director of another mission organization,  I want to thank you for the teaching

many years ago at a conference in Europe on the Christian father.  At that time I was not

yet a father but I kept your teaching notes and they have been a great help to me now that I am a father.?o:p>

From a CEF director,  about twenty years ago you were the missionary speaker at a camp

in Mississippi.  At that camp a little boy heard you and made his decision to serve God with

his life.  That boy has finished seminary and is now a great preacher in his town.  He still

keeps your prayer card from back then, asks about you and prays faithfully for you.?o:p>

 Coming now in June we are anticipating our CEF Director for West Africa, Richard Acquaye and his wife Becky being in our home from May 31 to June 6.  One other local church in the area supports the Acquayes monthly..

Three days after their visit we will be flying off to Korea.  For about three weeks we will be involved in meetings and several counseling sessions with the Korean national staff and local areas.  Also, during that time in Korea we will make a ministry trip up into Outer Mongolia along with one of the local Korean CEF directors.  Korea CEF has a very fine missionary family serving in that country.  We are privileged to be invited to visit and minister with Korean missionaries in their different mission fields.

We will be traveling again, God willing, to Ghana, West Africa and then back to Korea before the year ends.    IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU ON OUR TEAM.  We can not serve without you.  Thank you for your faithfulness.        

So that's what's cooking with the Cooks.?o:p>
