Tim & Pam Darling –
Missionaries to Spain Baptist Mid-Missions

May 2022

As we shared in our last quick update, we had plans to begin our furlough June 9th “But God” has made it abundantly clear that we will not be able to stick with those plans. Almost, from one moment to the next, our teammates, the Romaine family, discovered that their seven-year-old son Ian has an aggressive stage 4 tumor in the brain stem called DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma). Ian was playing ball on Easter Sunday (Apr 17) and the following Saturday (Apr 23) was flying out to Cincinnati, OH to a children’s hospital via air evacuation. The prognosis is very poor for this disease… “But God…” This news has forced us to rethink our furlough plans. It has also affected our other teammate’s, (the Burdetts) furlough plans which were to begin in September. One of Pam’s favorite Bible stories is found in 2 Chronicles 20 and part of Jehoshaphat’s prayer states: “…neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.”

At the following link, the Romaines share the happenings regarding their son.  https://mailchi.mp/ed8ea5b1974a/pray4ian (picture of Team Logroño included). We would appreciate your prayer support for the Romaines and without a doubt, they would too.

An English day camp project has been planned for the end of June between the Romaines and one of their supporting churches. Even though it appears that the Romaines will not be here, the church wants to continue with the project. Therefore, it would be good for us to remain to help the Burdetts.

First, we need the Lord’s direction to decide when it would be best to leave for furlough. Next, help from God for the change in our tickets, which were purchased back in January at a very good rate, before the war broke out in the Ukraine and before the gas prices went up. 

It is very comforting to know that our God is in control, even when we do not know what the future holds.

We look forward to visiting many of you, as the Lord permits, during our furlough, whenever that may be. Thank you for your prayers on our behalf.
