Greetings Friends and Family,
Pastor Kevin,
daughter Cloe and Alisa Rodgers get to know Ben during a recent gathering at
the Rodgers’ home in Poway, CA.
Thank you for your prayers and support of God’s work in
Africa and the Middle East. It is my joy to serve God alongside of you and our
African partners. But I couldn’t do the work without the support of the local
church. El Cajon First Baptist has now joined my monthly financial support
team. Thank you to Alisa Rodgers, wife of Pastor Kevin, who initiated
submitting my support needs to their missions committee. “You have made known
to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal
pleasures at your right hand.” Psalm 15:11
Ben and Sheryl enjoyed an evening with the Rodgers’
-- Sam, Elijah, Cloe and Sophia – it was fun to be in a home filled with such
joy and love, plus good food!
Ben met Megan Vaughan his senior year at UC Davis, a
fall wedding is being planned.
We are very excited for Ben’s upcoming marriage to Megan
Vaughan. Thank you for your prayers during the time of preparation and
planning. Pray for Ben and Megan’s relationship to maintain solid footing on the
Lord Jesus Christ. After the wedding, the couple will continue living a long
distance apart until Megan graduates from UCDavis in June 2013. Proverbs 18:22
says “He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.”
I thank God for Megan Vaughan – I’ve prayed for a
wife for Ben since his birth!
Megan, Sheryl and Miriam (Paul’s mom) celebrate at
Megan’s bridal shower – three generations of Mrs. Giesbrecht! Glory to God!
Thank you for your prayers for our ICM 2012 Banquet team as
we finish the final preparations for the Africa
Rising banquet next week. If you would like tickets, please call our
office 661-832-9740 as soon as possible. With the ICM 2012 Banquet budget fully

Fund. You don’t have to attend the banquet to donate to the fund. Just call or
email me at sherylg@icmusa.org.
Much Love and Prayers,
Sheryl
“He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me
because he delighted in me.” Psalm 85:19
