Recent photo of the Stire family ministering in Albania.

On July 11, Elaine's oldest daughter, Chelle, her husband, Kris and four grand daughters (from left to right), Kaitlyn, Sierra, Breanna (in Chelle's arms) and Whitney Stire left Montgomery, Texas for Tirana, Albania to serve for the advancement of the Church through leadership training at Southeastern Europe Theological Seminary. Please visit their blog at http://www.stiretestimonial.blogspot.com/ and learn all about what their latest activities have been. Learn about the intense heat wave that they have been experiencing there and how creatively they have been to keep their "cool". See my grand daughters new friends and the fun they have had on their family adventures. Although our hearts ache to see them and hug them, yet there is for us a peace and joy knowing that the Stire family is serving the Lord with hearts full of compassion and commitment to personal godliness and training of others to be like Jesus! On Monday, August 6, 2007, they are leaving for a few days of family time to Macedonia and the lake and town of Ohrid. Here is the most recent photo Chelle sent to us via e-mail on Sunday, August 5, 2007. Please remember them in your daily prayers. Thank you, my dear family and friends.
