Dear co-laborers,
What a joy to serve the Lord Jesus and have a part in His plan
of missionary giving, going, and
growing! As I write this, my family is in a missions conference

Family News: from Sharon
A huge hello to all of our
supporting churches
and praying friends!
We are so thankful for your involvement in our ministry! What
we do could not be possible without your prayers and faithful support. We love you all!
The Raub family is staying
busy these days, and it has been
exciting seeing how the Lord is
working not only in our ministry,
but in our lives. We have been in
North Carolina for 2 years in October, and while I can definitely say
that I miss traveling and being on
the road, being in one place to
start a church has been an adventure all its own! It hasn’t been
easy, but seeing God work makes it
all worth it! I love serving Him!
The family is doing great, with everyone growing up (I can’t believe my
little sisters are teenagers!) and God
opening new doors for our lives.
Mom and Dad celebrated their 30th
wedding anniversary in January, and
got to spend a few days on a second
honeymoon in the mountains.
Volleyball in the rain! I love my church
family!
We’re so thankful for our amazing
parents who have stayed faithful to
the Lord and raised us right!
I’ve gotten to visit each of
my oldest siblings, Kathryn, Jonathan and Stephen, this year — love
my brothers and sisters! Stephen
and his wife Jessica celebrated
their 2nd wedding anniversary this
summer and are expecting a baby
boy in January — we’re so excited
for them!
The rest of us Raub kids
have had a great summer, and now
Lydia (15), Johanna (13), and Jason
(11) have started up school again. I
(Sharon) am staying busy doing
some traveling and building my
business, and I can’t wait to see
what the Lord does in our family
and in our church in the months to
come!
