"For
ye have not passed this way heretofore. And Joshua said unto the
people, Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders
among you."
Joshua 3:4b-5
Just like the children of Israel, as we begin a new year, we will
be going ways that we haven’t gone before, but we are expecting
God to do great things and wonders among us! January started off
with a bang. We can’t believe how busy God is keeping us,
but we are so thankful that he sees fit to use us. During the month
of January, I helped several churches with their Mission programs.
I also spent a number of days in Arizona. There were two young preachers
and a pastor that went with me. We saw several towns and cities
with no Bible preaching church. The need is so great! Please pray
that God will work in the heart of these young preachers. We also
visited and I preached for one of our missionaries Brother Luther
Quintana while we were in Arizona. It is such a blessing to see
how the Lord is using he and Mrs. Sandy and their family there!
The latter part of the month, Jan and I were in Florida with two
of our missionaries, Brother Ben Millican and his wife Mrs. Jeannine
and Brother John Proctor and his wife Mrs. Rebekah and their children.
I preached for Brother Millican while I was there. These men are
doing a great job with the Hispanic Migrant Workers. I feel honored
to be a co-laborer together with all these men in helping reach
our own country.
During the month of February I will be helping some pastors with
their Faith Promise Missions Programs. I will also be helping my
pastor and my home church to ordain Brother Kim Harris. Brother
Kim and his family will be leaving for Idaho in just a few days
to begin church planting. Please remember this family in your prayers.
During the last few months of the year, we lost a couple of missionaries.
Brother Chuck Bradley will be taking the pastorate of a church.
Brother Roger Morgan was seriously injured in an automobile accident
and is not able to travel on deputation right now. Please pray for
these men and PLEASE help us pray that God will give us some more
good men to help us reach the United States with the gospel.
You will find enclosed a flyer for the Southeastern Conference
for World Evangelism. This meeting is hosted by my pastor and my
home church. This is the third year we have had this meeting and
each year many pastors from several different states have come and
been helped. I hope you will come and be with us this year. I know
that you will be glad you did.
In closing, thank you for your faithful financial support and for
your prayers! We do not take it for granted. |
