I just wanted to let you know that “Sprout” (a.k.a. David Jachin Mutter) was born at 5:09 pm on June 10. He weighed 7 lbs. 15 oz. and was 20 inches long. He and Julia are home from the hospital now and are doing great.

Dear Sis. Julia and Bro. Ryan,
Congratulations! The birth of a baby is a miracle of life, and a mystery. It is also a gift from God, showing His continuing love for man, and His willingness to offer that love, once again, to a completely new life.

Your child is a special child, like Samuel or John the Baptist, who should be dedicated by righteous parents to the service of Yahweh.

May “Sprout” grow up to be a great tree, planted by the river of life, who bears fruit in season, and whose leaves are for the healing of the nations.
