As we near Thanksgiving 2005, we at the Apple of His
Eye want you to know that we give thanks to God for you, our friends,
prayer-warriors and mission supporters. Because of you, we are able to
report continuing growth in our 10th year of missionary activities.
November is the month we dedicate the pages of our newsletter to bring you
news of our families and how you can be praying for them. We joyfully share
ourselves with you because we consider you an integral part of our extended
family! Together we are stronger than we could be just by ourselves.
Please remember that each of our missionaries trusts God to provide
for their mission support through YOU! Thank you - Steve Cohen
From where I sit...
I hope that you will be patient with me! it is
from where I sit that I watch daily the comings
and goings at our house. I will try to put into
words what has been happening with the
Cohen clan. They have been going through
some changes in the past year.
For starters the house seems bigger these
days. By that I mean it is more empty than it
was a few years ago as the most of the
children have grown and moved. I miss them!
Micha, the firstborn, is now serving as a
full-time missionary with Jews For Jesus in
Chicago. His bride of nearly three years, Leah, rejoiced on January 20th with the birth of their first child, Selah Joy.
Sarah, now 22, who was married in 2004.
She walked down another aisle in August –
this time with cap and gown as she finished
her undergraduate studies. She called home
one day very excitedly to say that she got her first “Big People Job” following her graduation. One of her professors recommended her for a position in the Barnes Jewish Hospital
Noah – the 3rd born – was
married to Christine Bryant in
January. Yes it was chilly
outside but it was obvious to all
that the warmth of their love will
keep them happily ever after.
Both continue their education at
the University of Illinois in
Champaign – Noah in his
undergraduate studies in
engineering,
Seth finished his first year
at the University of Illinois
on the dean’s list and nearly
a 4.0 in computer
engineering. This summer
he was at home. He worked
at an internship with his brother-in-law – Chris Born at Swank.
Lizzy is now a junior at Lindbergh High School. She is the
last of the Cohen kidlings still at home. She has been
following in her siblings footsteps playing in the High School
Marching Band. They marched in the 2005 Rose Parade in
Pasadena this year, a great honor acknowledging all their
hard work! She is in the National Honor Society as well as the
Jazz Band as lead alto saxophone player.
Steve created thirty-three new broadsides so far
this year. The subjects ranged from music to
sports to terrorism to plays. Each one serves as a
seed planted into the lives of readers who may not
yet know the message of salvation.
Well, from where I sit, it seems like life has its ups
and downs. My adopted family seems to be riding
them with the help of God and the prayers and
mission support of friends like you. Thank you for
helping to keep my doggie dish full of food, my
house warm, my family clothed, and enabling the
ministry to push forward by your past mission
support.
I know the whole Cohen clan is thankful at this
upcoming Thanksgiving season that you care and share and they pray that God blesses you greatly even as you have blessed us!
We all count on your continuing mission support now and in the future!
Woof. Woof. Woof.
