In Memory of Bro Bobby Beach-Mission Builder

Please keep Bro Bobby's wife Margaret and family in prayer. He went to be with the Lord this past Sunday a.m. We worked on a few projects with him and he became very special to us. He will be buried Thursday in Plant City, Florida.
Dearest Bro. Bobby, we cannot wait until "That Glad Reunion Day"

Here are pictures of what they are dealing with. Our church in Reedsburg is safe as far as we know, but many have lost their homes. Pray for their continued safety as more rain is predicted,

My sister Becky lives in the Wisconsin Dells where Lake Delton is and destroyed several homes earlier this week. Our dear family and friends live here and are reaching out to the community.

Dear Church Family and Sister Churches,

You probably know by now, our favorite saying is God is good! All the time! He has seen us safely through another month of travel, building and provided our every need even with Diesel prices escalating to $4.95 a gallon. We have had an incredible month, busy but busy is good. We have had the opportunity to work on several projects this month. The beginning of May we finished the project in Banning. We then headed to Calvary M.B.C. in Santa Paula where John installed 21 light fixtures in the church building. The last two and half weeks of the month were spent at the Landmark M.B.C. in Lompoc repairing the roof, painting their building, remodeling two bathrooms and installing a few more light fixtures. John has just been lighting up our churches all over the state of California. While in Lompoc, Esther had the opportunity to speak at the Central Coast District Ladies meeting and present our ministry. They have supported us several times. Pray for us as we travel to the ABA meeting in Spokane, Washington and then come back by the Calvary Baptist Mission in Chehalis, Washington to work on their building and help with their lighting needs.. We cannot thank you enough for your support, prayers and love.
God bless you,
John and Esther Thiem, Mission Builders
