Dear Friends and Family,
I hope you are having a good summer. Earlier this month, I visited my daughter Sarah and husband Matt in Cody, WY.
Matt & Sarah (Sheryl’s son-in-law and daughter), Sheryl and Dixie Hunter (Matt’s mom) enjoy a hamburger at Yellowstone Lodge.
Matt, Sarah and Dixie Hunter cool off at
Yellowstone Lake. “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the
work of his hands.” Psalm 19:1
Everything in the beautiful state of Wyoming is BIG –
waterfalls, lakes, bison, even Old Faithful.

One of the most stunning sights of all was Old Faithful, a cone geyser in Wyoming in Yellowstone National Park, named in
1870 and called the most predictable geographical feature on
earth. Apparently, Old Faithful’s eruptions are becoming increasingly more
frequent.
As I walk this journey with you who desire to see the Gospel reach the uttermost parts of the earth, my prayer is for “Capax Dei: Increase My Capacity for God”. This doesn’t just happen. Capax Dei is the result of experiencing God’s faithfulness. Psalm 145:13, “The Lord is faithful to all of His promises.”

God’s faithfulness is enough for me –Our great God is a defender
of widows and a father to the fatherless (Ps. 68:4-5). He gives strength, hope,
encouragement and wisdom to me in my widowhood and as a single parent. I depend
on Him to deliver me from my disappointment and loneliness. I count on God for
wisdom in working with our ICM USA office, national missionaries, African
country directors, partners and local ICM 2012 banquet team. May you experience
“Capax Dei” and an increase of opportunities to see God’s faithfulness.
Thank
you for your prayers and financial support as we walk this journey together.
Glory to God! And much love to you - Sheryl
