Mackinaw City Bible Church and Calvary Baptist Church in Gaines, MI |
 The last two weeks of our traveling year were busy for
the Galkin team! After our meetings in Charlotte, we headed north to Mackinaw
City, MI, for a week of meetings with Pastor Reid Nelson at Mackinaw City Bible
Church. From the beginning, we enjoyed sharing in the blessings of preaching
and fellowship with the church family. Through the different nights with
emphasis such as Mother's Night and Servicemen Appreciation Night, we were able
to see many visitors come to hear the Gospel, and several were saved! Josh,
Caroline, and Reba enjoyed working with the four teen girls in the youth group,
and rejoiced when a teen visitor received Christ as his Savior on Friday night.
As this week was our last full week of meetings, we enjoyed a special time as a
team on Mackinaw Island. The kids and adults alike enjoyed the butterfly house,
carriage ride, food, and ferry trip on Friday morning! For pictures from this
week of meetings, click here.

 …… Check out the
great size of those periods. It makes me think of the verse “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed,
ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall
remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you”. (Matt. 17:20). FAITH. It
must be easy to live by if you just need a little bit. …..Nope. I have been
moved in asking the Lord to “increase my
faith” (Luke 17:5). The last several weeks, I have become frustrated in
certain areas of my life where I thought that if I did everything just so, I
would get my desired results. Right? Isn’t there a “magic pill” that will make
my life more convenient and easy if I follow some easy 1-2-3 steps? In the
midst of parenting Ella and realizing that I have the selfish desire to be the
perfect mom that produces the perfect child, I’ve ended up becoming somewhat
frustrated. The desire to have a perfect marriage without problems. The desire
to have a smooth and certain future. But alas, this is not the case….either the
consistent mom, the angelic cherub of a child, the perfect marriage, or the
concrete future. I thought that if I tried to do everything that the books say
and follow the advice of all of those that had gone before, that things would
turn out the way that I had
planned. Isn’t that how it’s supposed to work? If I am asking God for wisdom in
training Ella, and yet I still wonder if I am doing the right thing, am I
really believing that God is granting my request?

The New Trailer - by Caroline |
 Last week, we had the opportunity to share with the Galkins in an
exciting time--the arrival of their new trailer! I hope this article
will answer many questions that people have about the trailer...I
couldn't even fully comprehend it until I saw it, but it is amazing!
The trailer and semi together are about the same length and height as a
regular tractor-trailer. The trailer is a beautiful white with navy and
sky blue detailing, which matches the semi perfectly! (an added bonus
for those of us on the team who prefer color-coordination. :) When you
walk through the front door, it is arranged much like the previous
trailer. The kitchen is straight in front of you and goes to the left.
The master bedroom and bathroom is up two stairs to the right. With
seven slide-outs, this trailer is much more spacious than the previous
one (which is a blessing for a family of seven).
