The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places....

The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.




Psalm 16:6-8

For the Reillys, 2009 has been a year of new ventures and praises. Although hard ground had to be conquered, we saw the Lord’s guidance and care, and look forward to that same promise as we enter 2010.

Praises and Prayer Requests. Please rejoice with us in…
…Kaitlyn’s opportunity to minister in Honduras with the Concepcion family: she helped home school families, worked in a children’s home, and played guitar in the church worship team. In the US she transitioned into Central State University and left with a 4.0 in her first semester (parents are allowed to brag). Please pray as she works into her second term and continues in her two part-time jobs.
…Sean finishing a second year at Cedarville and ROTC, and then in his marriage to Christina Stanfield in August. Please pray for Sean and Christina, as they transition into full-time army life and even more importantly, into full-time parenthood.
…Colleen and Tara’s help in ministries at the Costa Rica church and mk school; in both finishing up a good year of school in Costa Rica, and transitioning into life in the states at school and youth group here in Cedarville, Ohio.
…Kevin and Tia’s finishing up a term at Sojourn Academy—rejoicing in having met many of the goals we had in place for the school five years ago, and also happy that an interim director was willing and able to take over when we had to return to the U.S. for medical leave.

We also praise the Lord for the excellent and financially-provided-for medical care through the Veteran’s Administration which meets Kevin’s health needs on every front. We praise the Lord for the progress in healing and adaptation to his prosthesis.
We praise the Lord for opportunities for Tia to teach Spanish in a local Christian school; she will also have the opportunity to travel to Chile this year on a ministry team to the ABWE missionary kid school there in Santiago. She also praises the Lord for the chance to work on her masters and is in the home stretch; please pray that she will be able to finish this year.

As a family, most of all, we request prayer as the Lord leads us back into ministry. As Kevin finishes up medical leave and we enter furlough, we look forward to reporting to as many churches as possible between now and July. As the Lord leads us back to Costa Rica, we may work in an area slightly further away from the capital; we will minister with a young church plant, and if the Lord provides ministries to use our education background, we will be ready!

With faith in Him,
Kevin and Cynthia "Tia" Reilly
