Correa Chronicles

Robyn and I are still in Florida, busy with meetings. Robyn’s father was involved in a car accident recently. Thankfully, he is okay and sustained no injuries. This has changed our schedule some and has delayed us getting back to Michigan. Please continue to pray for Robyn’s parents and for Robyn, as she helps care for them on a regular basis. Our oldest daughter Kendalle is graduating from college in May and will be getting married in September. I am excited about our upcoming Missions Conferences in April and May. We are excited to organize another Scripture assembly at our home church soon. We are still searching for a Challenge Champion Three-Knife Cutting Machine. Should you know a source where we can obtain one, please let us know.

SETTING THEM FREE IN ZAMBIA

March 20-30, 2023

22 Team Members • 60 Professions of Faith • 67,592 Scriptures Distributed

The missions trip to Zambia has been such a blessing that it is hard to express. When I was a teenager and heard messages of surrender to the Lord, I would never fully surrender my life. I was convinced that the Lord would send me to the mission field or to college, and I refused to do either of those things. I had a distorted image of God and saw Him as a bully in the sky instead of a loving Father Who only wanted the best for me. The Lord has gotten ahold of my life; now I understand that He is my loving Father, and I want to please Him. When Wings Bearing Precious Seed came to our church in October 2022 and I found out about the opportunity to go to English-speaking Zambia, I had such a desire to go. I started praying about it, and the Lord kept opening doors to go and provided the funds. It has been such a blessing to share the Gospel with the Zambian people. They are hungry and open to the Word of God. It makes me cry to hear them read God’s Word. It is so exciting to see God give me liberty to speak freely to them. We serve a great God, and I am so privileged to add fruit to God’s kingdom. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow.

– Testimony by Karen Blake

Mark Philbrick took his two oldest boys on our 2012 Canary Islands trip. His goal was to take all eight of his sons on missions trips before they left home. In Zambia, he had his two youngest sons (for the first time), along with one of his oldest two from the first trip. Each member of their family has now been on at least one Wings Bearing Precious Seed missions trip. What a blessing it is to see a family investing in the cause of Christ for the glory of God!
