These past two to three months has been very busy. We traveled a lot and when we would get home, I
would work hard to finish all of the print jobs I needed to do. It has been such a blessing to start to realize my
burden come true as I print in my small print shop. Another thing I am excited about is that I have worked
very hard on compiling the Books of John & Romans. Many churches have asked for them and I want to be
able to provide that. I also designed a nice cover for it and also enclosed marked salvation verses in the book.
We will be excited to get a bunch of those done and provide them to churches and put them on our display
table as we travel.
When on the road, I have had many opportunities to preach and the family sings extensively. We just
stand back in amazement at all the opportunities God allows us to serve Him! We walk through the doors God
opens and try to make a difference for Eternity in as many ways as possible. Revival services, camp meetings,
Vacation Bible School, etc. are just some of the amazing opportunities God gives us to serve Him while on the
road. We are thankful that July and August are slower months as far as travel goes though so that I will have
more time to print in the shop and the entire family enjoys the time serving at our “home” church. There is
just… “No place like home”. As we have been in various meetings, we have seen souls saved, for which we
rejoice! Nurie (our oldest) had prayed specifically that the Lord would allow her to lead someone to the Lord.
She led 3 girls to the Lord in VBS. Praise the Lord for answered prayer!
Recently, we went to a fireworks display and when it was over, almost our entire family went around
and passed out hundreds of tracts. Satan was at work discouraging us right from the start though because as
soon as Jill began to walk around, she was uncomfortable at the gawking men and she also stepped right on a
cigarette butt through her flip-flops - giving her a burning blister on her foot. We persevered though and our
claim is the verse that promises that God’s Word will not return void.
What an honor to serve our King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Thank you for your faithful prayers and
support. God bless you all and enjoy your summer.
1Co 15:58 ¶ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the
Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Ac 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me
both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Dear Family & Friends,
July/August/Sept. 2016
It has been a busy spring & early summer for which I am honored to serve our loving Saviour!
I sometimes have to pinch myself (to assure myself of reality) at the pure joy I feel at the life that God
has blessed me with! Twelve beautiful, stair-step children (as you can see in the picture below...smile) and a wonderful, loving and godly husband leave me feeling blessed BEYOND measure!
I have tremendously enjoyed my beautiful home (when we are home) and most importantly, I am
awed at God’s awesomeness and love towards me!! He NEVER ceases to amaze me as He continuously draws me to Him with His tender and perfect love! I feel constantly “undone” and falling
VERY short of the glory of God! What a mighty God we serve!!
My children bring me MUCH pleasure and constant joy! My oldest four will be heading out
to Christian Camp next week and I will miss them tremendously, but I hope they have a wonderful
time, drawing ever closer to the Lord. It blesses my heart to see them growing in the Lord as I see
them reading faithfully through the Bible, tithing and giving to faith promise, increasing their prayer
life, giving to others, being obedient to their parents, etc. NO, they are not perfect, but they do bless
my heart with their desire to do what is right with their lives!
The other day, Olivia (4 yrs. Old) noticed that her sister Sadie had a bigger cereal bowl than
she had. So, she proceeded to tell Sadie that she (Sadie) had an “older” bowl than hers!!
In our traveling & absence from our house, we have begun to struggle with mice in our house.
So, since getting home, Timothy has
been diligent to set mouse traps and has
caught 7 in the last week! It appears the
problem is nearly defeated. However,
the other day when they were still boldly scurrying around, Sadie (2 yrs. Old)
saw one on the counter and she
screamed….”Ahhhh!!!” We asked her
what was the matter and she responded,
“I SAW A BEAR!!!” It was hilarious!
Serving Jesus With Joy,
Jill Rodrigues
