<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Hi
everyone! <br>
<br>
Glad to talk to you again - thank you for all your prayers! It's been a strange
time, starting back in January up until now. Everything is moving so fast! It seems
like Christmas was just a couple of weeks ago...<br>
<br>
I can't really report any amazing new happenings in my ministry at this moment,
other than the fact that I'll be going out with Petra once again this summer!
It's been five years since Petra retired; we've had festivals ask if the band
could make a few special appearances, and so we agreed. <br>
<br>
We (myself, Bob, Greg and a different drummer, since Paul is out with another
band and is unavailable at this time) will be performing at these festivals and
whatever other dates the Lord brings our way. It will be a great time getting
together with the guys again, so watch the <a
href="http://johnwschlitt.com/fans/tour.htm" target="_blank">tour schedule</a>
for upcoming dates.<br>
<br>
As far as my own solo ministry, I do believe there are big things coming. I'm
seeing things on the horizon; even though I don't know exactly what they are,
I'm sensing them.<br>
<br>
I can say I had a fantastic vacation in Aruba with my wife Dorla and some
important friends the second week of March. I'm still feeling the aftermath of
that, including sun burns! But praise God for providing the heating source of
our world, the sun. And thank God for providing the ULTIMATE source of all
things: His son, Jesus Christ.<br>
<br>
I just thank you all for your prayers; if God puts me, my wife and my family on
your heart, don't hesitate to pray and we'll do the same for you. Let's work
together!<br>
<br>
