Hey. It's 10:30 on Saturday night. We're working all day long to get installed in our Mission House. There's an ocean of stuff to do. We're SURROUNDED by intense opportunity to share the Message, too. Northside, Cincinnati, is totally full of Gang stuff. There are many struggling but vital ministries to the poor here, too. Many shut-ins and elderly need care.



The other day we met a lady at Kroger who took just forever to get her grocery shopping done. For her, it was a four-hour ordeal. How much it would mean to her to have a helper go with her.



As many of you must know by now, Judy's mom passed on last Saturday at 1pm. We had over a week of hospice care with her. It was an honor to be with her until the end. Judy's family has been here, four to eight of them, on and off, for weeks, now. The funeral was last Tuesday and was pretty awesome. We're all living in hope of the resurrection. There's no despair in our mourning. 1 Thessalonians 4 has a major word on this. We believe it.



So the GrubbyKupp crew is moving on, daily.



We really need help from the Body of Christ to see the mission develop here. We need an accountant or a lawyer to work with us on our nonprofit status. We need donations of time and tools to work on the Mission House. We need materials to settle the homestead, like cabinets and shelfing. We need Missionary Support for this work...



People pay homage to the idea of prayer, and I tell you all that i'm not an extremely pious man, but we need you guys to hit your knees and pray for us all, here. There are some precious souls who have recently discovered Christ and the Joy of following in obedience. We are on the cusp of major discoveries, and salvation for many, here. The churches around us are so divided. Some of them have invited me to speak or sing and play guitar. These are all ministries that care about the sick and the poor, but in the few days I've had to talk with them, they have already expressed their division from their brothers and sisters in the other churches and ministries.



Pray that we would be used to bring unity in the Body of Christ. That we could fill the gaps by washing feet. I know that there will be times of confrontation: unavoidable. But pray that we could be bringers of peace.



And please pray for Mr. Weiss, Judy's dad. He is now entering a time of singleness, after 55 years of marriage to one of the kindest women in the world. Pray that he prosper in the ministry that lies ahead for him. His years of mission work in the Phillippines are an incredible story about who God uses for His purposes. He wants to use YOU!!!



Is there anyone out there who could help me with this blog? Could you come to the house and help me put pictures and a paypal donation button on it? We live like missionaries to Cincinnati. That includes financial dependence on the Body of Christ.



Thanks for reading, praying, coming, giving. We'd love visits from you. Would you like a tour of our area? We have a youth group from Indianapolis coming in July.
