I can't believe we're almost to the fall! It is definately feeling like a new season here. We're starting small groups tonight with all the men and women. I'm looking forward to helping MaryAlice lead the women's house bible study. For the past couple of months (starting when Kent & MaryAlice were away in July) I have been helping to supervise the women. I've now officially taken the role over to help MaryAlice more and am learning a lot! I know that God is preparing Dave & I both for what he has prepared for us in the future.
As of this week we have over 200 men, women and children in the centres - Birmingham, Derby, Dublin (Ireland), Nottingham and Watford. Speaking of babies - our good friend, Brenda and Dave had a baby girl on August 10th (Brenda's due date - only Brenda could be that efficient!). Chloe Renee Cox weighted 6 lbs, 12 oz and was 19" long. Many of you will remember that Brenda suffered two early miscarriages (December 06 and June 07) so this is such an answer to prayer! I've included a picture - she's cute even with her eyes closed.
Thanks for all your support and prayers. We feel and appreciate them! Please do write when you can.
Lots of love,
Beth (and Dave)

Cheers to you across the pond! I know God is taking care of you well and I'm excited to hear the words that were given to Kent and Mary Alice for Betel. We'll pray that God will open the gates of heaven and fill you with all His resources. I dare say God is definitely preparing you for leadership. Beth, I think back to when you were a new christian and you jumped right in to leading youth. You sure ain't no slacker! I'll try to e-mail you and relate more then.
Chow for now!
