The Websters have been involved in a doctrinal challenge that came to a head in March. The individual involved was part of the church since its early days, which caused deep sadness in several long-time members. Yet there has been an increasing recognition that the future health of the church depends on commitment to sound doctrine and biblical faith. They are thankful that only 3 people left the church over the matter. Mike plans to teach a series on their church doctrinal statement in the future. Pray that the folks will continue to grow in understanding that emotional attachments cannot take precedent over being true to God’s Word. Their son Jonathon, who had never been to Europe, was with them for 3 weeks. This month they will, or have already, returned to North Carolina to meet with family to address matters related to Mike’s sister’s passing last year. Melanie’s parents’ 70th anniversary is in August. Mike was declared cancer-free in April but please pray for his vision, especially with driving. Melanie still struggles with health challenges regarding air quality.
