Upcoming
There are certain things that only the Father knows. The future is one of them. Nevertheless He chooses to reveal to us that which we need to know in order to rest in His hands. Chapter 29 of Jeremiah has some details to relate to us about this vital portion of our intimate relationship.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (verse 11)
When we place our confidence in who God is and respond to His Truth He brings about amazing results.
“Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity.” (verses 12-14a)
Lifework Forum is committed to seeking the Lord for His plans and following as He opens the doors. One of our guiding principles is, “Have invitation and provision, will travel.”
USA – mid-April to late May
There is a long list of responsibilities that are making it necessary for the Lovelaces to spend an extended time in the states. Thank you for your ongoing prayers as Curt and Sandra seek the Lord for His priorities and schedule. If you’re interested in keeping up with their developing time table, you’ll want to check here regularly. We’ll post commitment updates as soon as we know them. Psalm 37:4 Thank you.
11, 12 May – The Lovelaces are excited to announce that Lifework Forum will have a booth at the annual convention of the Christian Homeschool Association of Pennsylvania. Their website communicates the breadth and depth of all CHAP has to offer. Curt and Sandra would love to see as many friends as can attend this dynamic event at the Farm Show Complex, Harrisburg PA. Click on 2012 Convention on their home page to Register.
18, 19 May – Sandra will be speaking at a ladies retreat on the topic of “Praising God in the Hard Times”. (See Grand Cayman, below.)
26 May – Doc and Marmee (aka Curt and Sandra) will attend the annual recital of the Southern New Hampshire Dance Studio. It will take place at 1pm at St. Anselm College in the Dana Center Auditorium. There’s no doubt their granddaughter Caroline Mae will be one of the stars!
TBA – visit with Immanuel Family Fellowship (IFF) in Troy, Missouri; stop over at P. Graham Dunn in Dayton, OH; other? E-mail us your desires and requests.
Grand Cayman – May 2012
Sandra will be the guest speaker at the very first Ladies Retreat for the Presbyterian Church of Boatswain Bay. She is especially thrilled by the invitation as it will allow her to reconnect with her precious sisters from the Lovelaces’ first call after seminary, 30+ years ago. Please pray for the preparations being made as the date approaches, that God will be glorified in every aspect of the event, 18-19 May. Psalm 103:1 Thank you.
Ukraine/Russia – TBA
LWF continues to pursue the invitation to offer a retreat for homeschool moms in Ukraine as well as opportunities to reach out to two individual families quite isolated in Russia. Curt and Sandra are following up on these expressions of interest and need. Timing and organization seem to be the issues. Please ask God to reveal His plan for outreach into these areas. Psalm 24:1,2 Thank you.
BHC’12 – postponed
The Lovelaces have hosted this three day BHC (Blessed Home Conference) event in Sarajevo, Oslo, Amsterdam, Tirana, London, and Bucharest. Due to the necessity of traveling back to the USA for a time this year they’ve had to postpone the offering. If you would like to invite them to your ‘neighborhood’ in the fall, e-mail LWF right away. Please join us in asking our Sovereign King to make His purpose known for this outreach. Philippians 2:12 Thank you.
Norway – 15 to 17 June 2012
The Lovelaces will be enjoying a long weekend camping with Christian homeschool families. Curt and Sandra are excited to be part of the second edition of this event. It promises to be a delightful time getting to know each other in the light of Scripture. If you’d like to be part of this newly organized gathering, e-mail LWF and we will be happy to put you in touch with the folks in charge. Please add your prayers to ours for a truly divine experience. Matthew 18:20 Thank you.
England – 29 June to 7 July 2012
The Lovelaces will be spending a week with homeschool families who will gather at Rora House Conference Centre in Liverton, Newton. They are expecting to learn and grow as they take in the various details of this annual time of rich Christian teaching and fellowship. If you would like to take part in this family camping experience, e-mail LWF and we will put you in touch with the Registrar. Please ask the Lord to prepare and use Curt and Sandra to encourage the families they meet. Proverbs 3:6 Thank you.
Invitation – Open Ended
The Lovelaces are overwhelmed with the provision of the Lord concerning their apartment/flat. There’s ample, private space for friends to visit – to relax, sightsee, fellowship in the Lord. If you think some time in Prague is just what the Spirit is directing, e-mail LWF today. Please pray with Curt and Sandra that the Lord will send the people of His choice and oversee all the arrangements for His glory and the sake of the gospel. Proverbs 3:6 Thank you.
Spring/Summer 2013 – it’s not too early to plan
Have you been a-hankerin’ (that’s a term from the old west that means a-wishin’ or a-hopin’) for some quality family time? Would you enjoy meaningful fellowship in a relaxed atmosphere with like-minded believers? Would you be encouraged by some fresh input for your walk with the Lord and some Word-enriched activities for your children? The Lovelaces would like to assist you in the development of family camps in your area. Contact us if you would like to explore the possibilities.
