George & Karen King

April 2011 Update

NEW GRANDBABY!

As I write this, Karen and I are in Evansburg, Alberta with our new grandson Simeon Wierzbicki. He arrived at 8am Monday morning, just as we were leaving for the airport to fly out to Alberta from Toronto. He weighs in at 7lbs, 1oz and you can view his pics on either Karen’s or my Facebook. Since leaving England one week ago today we have also been able to meet our other new grandson, Ransom King (“Handsome Ransom”) and get reacquainted with his older sister Ebony. Later today, I will get to meet Simeon’s older sister, 17-month-old granddaughter Sophia Wierzbicki for the very first time.

MARRIAGE, MINI FURLOUGH AND MANY HOME PROJECTS

May 14th is the day our youngest daughter, Angelie, marries Aaron Hamill in Kitchener, Ontario. We look forward to this special event!

We plan to spend quality time visiting friends and family, and speaking in churches for the next 3 months before returning to England. We also have several overdue home repairs, renovations, and upgrades to do while we are in Brantford. The list includes fixing leaky faucets, replacing a dead washer and dryer, drywall repairs, preparing the house for possible renters, and on top of that, obtaining a reliable vehicle for inter-city ministry travel.

WEBSITE WOES

Speaking of renovations… we are undertaking a major revitalization of the Al-Kitab Scripture Research Institute website which has been crippled for some time now. It was cutting edge technology ten years ago when it was launched but now it is woefully behind the times. We have already paid an initial deposit of over $2,000 to get the regeneration work going, and are trusting the Lord for an additional $6,500 to complete the project. We hear from new inquirers on a regular basis even with the problems the site is now experiencing, and believe that it is important that the work continue into the future. If you would like to donate to this specifically, just include a notation that it is for the Kings’ website ministry.

SUPPORT LEVEL

Speaking of donations, God has met our needs continually through the generosity of his people. Our monthly support level is officially at 89% translating to a deficit of $775 per month. We thank the Lord for our supporters and those who pray for us. God takes good care of us through you. We continually sense the power of your prayers in our lives and ministries. Thank you!
