January 2009

May we begin by wishing all of you, our supporting churches and friends, a very Happy New Year 2009. Trusting also that you had a Very Merry Christmas like we did. It was again a joy being with our son and family, especially with our grandkids at such a wonderful time of the year.
God has been so good to us in so many ways. We're especially grateful to each of our supporting churches. The special Christmas offerings sent to us by some of you have helped us get caught up on some of our bills and have made our Holidays a little bit more enjoyable. Thanks a bunch.
With the economy like it is being portrayed by some, and the unemployment rate as the media tells us it is, "so high"...(Europe is already in double digits)...right now, it may seem hard to be overjoyed at most anything. However we as believers in Christ, servants of the Most High God, know that He is still on His throne, and our hope is not in man but in Him. We have so much to be thankful for, and so much to rejoice in still.
Oton, the man we led to Christ earlier last year, has finally gotten well enough to come to church again, and we trust he will  be baptized soon. Lupe has been given a clean bill of health by the doctors...no more cancer in sight. and she is coming regularly to the services.
One of our young men who had earlier thought his ways were better than God’s, has returned realizing that he was not really saved, even though he had made a profession of faith at a very young age. After he trusted the Lord and really  was saved he asked for baptism and membership in the church. That has taken place and he is rejoicing in the Lord, Amen?
The college course I took  ended the second Monday in December. During the course I was able to paint the church van, a paint job valued at $4000.00 for less than $500.00 and the paint job on my car valued at around $3000.00 for less than $500.00 also. However we did not realize that at my age the extra stress and the labor that both vehicles cost me,  would afterwards cause me to be laid up for some time with shingles, and I am still not fully recovered from the pain  that  this virus causes. Please remember me in your prayers. But thanks to my Lord for allowing me to meet and be a testimony to several college students and to the professor. We have not seen any visible spiritual results yet, but we are still praying.
