Society of St. Stephen Update
Sandy received a letter from John Khushal. She wanted to share it with you:
Dear Sandy and Warren,
How are you friends? We trust all is well with you and your children.
Thanks for your continuous interest in our work and for the financial and prayer
support. We appreciate it very much. God is continuing to do his wonderful work and
many people are entering into his Kingdom. We praise God that he is using our
friendship and partnership in building his Kingdom. We also thank God for you, pray
for you and all your children.
We have been traveling continuously for the past four weeks in different cities by train
and have covered more than 3000 miles. We had conducted five Church Planter’s
conferences and have ministered to around 150 pastors. One of our objectives was
to share our vision of planting churches on every 10 miles on the Lucknow - Delhi
express highway and to recruit church planters. We have received a good response
and hoping to recruit at least 10 church planters. Please pray about it.
We love you friends and want to wish you a very blessed celebration of the Lord’s
resurrection. He is indeed risen and therefore we have blessed hope & assurance that
one day we will be with him forever. Till that time let us finish the work for which he has
saved us.
Your friends in Jesus,
John and Rebecca

A special thanks to former long time member, Eleanor Hughes, for her thoughtful
Easter gift to Wayside. She remarked on her card that “Wayside was specially good
to me”. She is home in Marcellus, NY awaiting surgery in April for the removal of a
kidney. Wayside misses Eleanor and will continue to pray for her successful surgery
and recovery.

We would like to thank everyone for their cards, calls, and prayers in the tragic death
of our granddaughter, Elle. A special thank you to those who attended the service.
She was an organ donor, so many lives will be touched. One of her kidneys went to
their next door neighbor that had been on the transplant list for three years. Once
again, thank you to our Wayside family for your thoughts and prayers during this
difficult time.

Good Samaritan News
The GSC has asked Waysiders to donate boxes of saltine crackers for the month of
April. You may drop donations off from 9am-5pm Monday through Friday at the
church. You may also bring your donations to church on Sundays. Thanks for your
continued support of this important ministry in our community.
There have been many volunteers over the years who have regularly helped the
GSC with the monthly USDA food pickup; sorting food donations from the annual
Postal Drive; and assist with setting up, sorting, and filling Christmas boxes. The Vienna
city employees continue to help drop off and pick up food barrels and deliver many
of the Christmas boxes. The Board of Directors of the GSC are very thankful for all the
volunteers. The volunteers have helped those in our community by serving and giving
to this mission ministry.
Cathy Bauman and Barbara Payton are Co-Directors of the GSC. With God’s help,
they continue to carry on the mission of the Good Samaritan Center.
Once all villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all the people
gathered, but only one little boy came with an umbrella. That’s FAITH.
When you throw babies in the air, they laugh because they know you will catch
them. That’s TRUST.
Every night we go to bed without any assurance of being alive the next morning, but
still we set the alarms to wake up. That’s HOPE.
We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the future. That’s
CONFIDENCE.
We see the world suffering, but still we get married and have children. That’s LOVE.
On an old man’s shirt was written a sentence, “I am not 80 years old, I am sweet 16
with 64 years of experience.” That’s ATTITUDE.
