Dear Supporters, Family and Friends,
We are saddened by the news that a very faithful member of the East Side (Cleveland, TN) congregation has died very suddenly. Ken Simpson was 46 years old and died suddenly Thursday evening of a heart attack. He had just that evening received an award from the city Police Department where he held the rank of Lieutenant. Please keep his wife Linda, and their two sons Josh and Jacob, in your prayers.
We had a good team meeting in Moshi yesterday. The men gathered at the home of John Hall to discuss the events of the upcoming June campaigns and Leadership seminar. Afterward we all went over to the Jensen home (who are always so very hospitable) for a very good meal where we all officially welcomed the Samford and Hochdorf families. Much good is being done and the future is very bright with the team that we have in place. Please pray as plans for this summer are being made.
The ACSOP is going well. My plans are to add a picture and short biography for each student to our blog. I will do this slowly so please be patient. Also, please take note that I will not be sending many more e-mails to tell you of updates to our blog. What you will need to do is go to the blog and look for a link on the right side of the “Home” page which says “Subscribe to Gee’s in Tanzania Weblog by Email.” This will take you to a site which will allow you to sign up to receive an e-mail whenever I post an update. That way I am not flooding people’s e-mail boxes who may not want to hear about it each time that I update it. So, if you wish to stay informed about such updates, you should go to the blog and subscribe. As soon as I figure out how to do it I may also set up an RSS feed. Again, the link is: http://jandtgee.wordpress.com/
Also, please keep Cy and Stephanie Stafford in your prayers as they travel over the next three months. They are going on a furlough as well as reporting to many congregations.
In family news Todd is having his 16th birthday on Thursday. His e-mail is geekids@bol.co.tz if you would like to drop him a note. His big birthday present is going to be delayed until August or September though. It seems for his birthday he wants to climb Mt. Meru and I am going along with him. At present I am in no shape to do so, so the trip will be later in the year to give me time to get in shape. I certainly need your prayers on that one! J Thanks for all you do to make our work possible. Without you we could not be here!
In Christ,
Jimmy and Family
