Ministry Team Partners!
We are excited as our summer continues to take shape and form. Rose is preparing this week for her TBGM Women's retreat this weekend June 6-7, 2008 in Nashville.
There is still room if you know a woman who may benefit from time to reflect on her relationship with the Lord.
Rose will lead another retreat in Los Angeles and will be leaving for that retreat on June 18th - 24th, 2008. Pray for her safety and for God to move powerfully in the lives of the women as they minister one to another.

| Italy and United Kingdom Trip |
| |
Yesterday, while at a church service where we normally attend when we are not speaking somewhere, I left the worship service after about the 3rd worship song. I kindly excused myself from the pew and went outside. I sat on an old wooden pew that reminded me of the ones in the Methodist church I grew up in years ago. I took in a few real deep breaths of the outside air around me. You could tell it was the beginning of summer by the sights, sounds, and smells of the outdoors.
Then I asked the Lord, "What next ? Where do you want me to go? What do you want me to do?" Just after asking the Lord that question a lady came out of the doors of the church, seemingly struggling emotionally, with the word "Italy" written across her shirt.
Another lady came alongside her and began to minister to her. I knew immediately in my spirit that it was time to go to Italy as we have been praying about. In fact, I just received another email asking me if I had any more confirmations about Italy. So in July I am planning to go to Italy and the United Kingdom to take the simple Gospel to people in need of the the message of true life in the Spirit.

| Kenya Ministry Opportunity |
| |
I received a call today from pastor Isaiah in Kenya, Africa that would like me to come and see the work they are doing their and how we can partner with them. They have a church of around 120 people and work with orphanages and widows in need. They aim to make disciples of all nations in Kenya. The Pastor has already offered the invitation and is ready to ask the Government for a visa for me to come into the country. |

| Ukraine Ministry Opportunity |
| |
In addition, I have a burning desire to go back to Vinnitsa, Ukraine and continue where I left off in March 2008 of this year. I have talked with them today and sent an email to a translator I worked with in March. There are many opportunities to minister to the people who are in need, spiritually and physically. After talking to several people today, they are excited for me to return and bring with me things that will help them grow both spiritually and in the natural. |

In October we anticipate returning to Israel. We have been offered to take over a ministry that provides food and clothing to people in need in the Northern Galilee region where we live. We are excited to pick up where this wonderful couple who have been serving for five years in Israel have now passed the baton. |

| We Need Your Help |
| |
The invitations are in front of us. The needs are there. We are willing and ready to go. So, what next?
We need to buy some plane tickets for July to begin the travel. We need your partnership as we launch out into these countries and do the work of the Lord. Our funding all comes from partners like you. Maybe you know of an organization or Sunday School class who would like to sponsor one of these projects, helping us preach the Gospel in all the world.
At some point we would welcome you to be part of a team that travels to one of these countries. We need your help in laying the groundwork for the future. If the Lord is speaking to you to travel with Todd on any of these trips don't hesitate to contact us at info@tbgrace.org |

Speaking Engagements
We would consider it a privilege to visit your church or organization and share with you what the Lord has been teaching us. During our time each day with the Lord He has taught us about faith, the importance of His Word, how to rest in Him, being patient in waiting, relationships and other topics. The importance of Israel in todays season of life and society is also on our hearts.
