New Chapter:

A couple of weeks ago we received permission to make the following announcement.  Our Pastor, Doug Williams, read it at the morning services of Covington Bible Church:

Kathy and Howard Merrell are applying to be missionaries with Leibenzell Mission USA.  As such, Howard

will become a part-time employee of LMUSA.  He will serve in two roles:

1.     Teacher and Director of the Palauan extension of Pacific Islands University.  This will require residence in Palau for about four months per year.

2.     Assistant to the Director of Global Outreach, Liebenzell Mission USA.  While this ministry will require periodic travel the Merrells will maintain their home in Covington, working from there the other eight months of the year.

Kathy will assist Howard in this ministry, and will use her gifts and abilities in serving both in Palau and here at home.
Upon approval as missionaries with LMUSA, and under the direction and authority of Covington Bible Church, the Merrells will be seeking a support team to pray for them in this endeavor and to underwrite the expenses of this ministry. 

We have been working on this for some time, now.
In fulfilling this role I am expecting to travel to Guam and Palau for a short trip this fall, and then Kathy and I will be moving to Palau for January - April.

Stay tuned.
