    Micah and Johanna Gelatt. Thats who we are. Homebuilders. Thats what we do. Not homes made of bricks and

    mortar but spiritual homes. That is the goal of ALL that we do as a missionary team. Last weekend (March 16-18) 2

    husbands and wives attended our first Kansas City marriage retreat. Our team was able to build into the spiritual live

    of 242 people!! We saw so many couples rekindle their romance, recommit their lives to God and to their families, a

    pledge to reorganize their priorities. Most importantly, these couples were given the teaching and tools to continuebuilding their homes. To top off the wonderful weekend, 9 people came to Christ, and now know Him as their Savio

    and Lord. Imagine the legacy these families will now leave as they focus on building up their spiritual homes!
