Living in the Present

                               
                               Hello from the small town of Pottstown, Pa!

     It's so good to be back! What with the birth of our little girl and daily life, posting had been put on a back burner.


Back in December of 2014, Adam spoke to the elders here at Coventry Hills and asked if we could stay for a few years. I prayed, asking God to show us (through the elder's answer) what we should do pertaining to Tanzania and how we should go about getting back. They asked us to stay. We have not set a date for when we wish to be back in Tanzania. The reason for that is because living for the future takes the joy out of living for the present. Always thinking " I can't do that because of Africa" made putting pictures on the wall or hanging curtains seem like a waste of time and money. We can make a home here for the time that we are here. And when we decide to move forward, we will. That doesn't mean we aren't trying to do what we can while here in America. We have received the translated version of Adam Cozort's "The Christian Graces- God's blueprint for the development of complete Christians" ( a total of 65 pages) and plan to print and bind between 10-20 copies. This allows us to send several copies to the Andrew Connally School of Preaching for the Swahili students and keep the rest for Parker Memorial. Money wise, we just don't have the resources to print 30+. Sure wish we did! We still continue to press forward in accomplishing what we can for the library. We ever work to see that the Tanzanians receive great material in their own language. Thank YOU for being both patient and supportive as we figure out how to move forward.  




     Jubilee is now 5 months old (where has the time gone?!) and is a constant source of joy. She has several nicknames, the main one being "Bitty". Born weighing just 6.9 pounds, she remains in the 30th percentile.

     On August 22, Coventry Hills is planning a big clothing give-away focusing on families that have "Back to School" needs. Adam has already put a lot of thought into how it is to be organized and orchestrated. Staff t-shirts, packets of information, and I'm hoping to work with the ladies on having refreshments available. We are both very excited and hopeful that this opens Coventry up to the community in a way it hasn't in a long time.

Till Next Time,

The Rymons

The Lord's Providence is Amazing!

Beautiful Mount Meru                                                                         Greetings!            This post is ridiculously overdue and I ask for your forgiveness. I have been preoccupied, as you will see. While I have not been as focused on the library itself as much, what I am about to tell you is going to effect the library tremendously ! I will not go into all the details, as that would make for a very long story. I will try and just give the information that is necessary, while still making it interesting.      Back in August of last year, I met Adam Rymon at Polishing the Pulpit (a week long lectureship held in Pigeon Forge, TN). We talked for about ten minutes, basically...

Potter Children's Home

   What a wonderful season Christmas is. Pretty lights, the scent of pine trees, delicious goodies and time with family! You want to hear a funny story? Adam has needed a new office chair for quite some time. Recently, I sat down on it with him and crack! I broke it. The poor thing would lean to one side when you sat on it.  So, I bought him the exact same one, brand new, for Christmas. It arrived today and I secretly began trying to put it together in the laundry room. After about two hours, I gave up. I decided to let him have it early so he could help me finish putting the pieces together (smart, huh). Well, he gets to looking at it and discovers I've placed the armrests on the wrong sides. Fix that, everything else goes in place. Ta-da! All finished. Get it into the office and it won't tilt back. Adam fiddles with the chair, sits back down, and almost falls face forward because it's leaning the wrong way! We had a good laugh over it. But I've learned m...

Bibles to New Converts in Uganda!

To all my few but faithful readers, I hope you all have had a fine Sunday! It has been a good one here at Coventry Hills. Around the time we were finishing up gathering Isaya Bwile's needed school funds, Richard Olwenyi (a old school classmate of mine from the Andrew Connally School of Preaching) asked if we might help him out in procuring funds for bibles for the new converts in his area. He preaches for a small but growing congregation.  You know me, I'm all about books and education, so I said we'd see what we could do. The Lord blessed our efforts! Enough money was raised to buy 105 bibles! I thought that number would be 107, but Richard had to use a little bit of the money in order to travel some 4 hours there and back to buy them. You know how you stress out about doing something you've never done before and you realize, "Boy, that was easy. Why in the world did I spend so much time worrying." That's what I did when it came to sending the mon...
