Dear
Co-Workers: Calvary
Baptist Church of Whangarei, New Zealand has
been turned over to a national pastor. The two lay preachers which we
have been training for some time are now ready to take complete charge
of the ministry of the church. So the time was ripe to institute the
plans, which we had already set for them to take complete charge, and it
was time for me to seek another ministry elsewhere. Brother Ian Cutforth
has been chosen by the church for the position of Pastor and Daniel
Ellis will continue as youth pastor. This is consistent with my method
of missions. We have been praying for some time for the leadership of
the Lord concerning what He has in store for us as the next work. There
are a number of factors, which has brought us to Kapolei, Oahu Hawaii. I will 70
years old May 15, 2002, and do not have and cannot get medical
insurance. As a serviced connected disable army veteran I am completely
dependent on the veteran hospital and Medicare for my medical needs. Of
course these facilities do not operate outside of the USA. With my
medical history (cancer survivor and stroke survivor as well as high
blood pressure) it seems reasonable that at the age of 70, I should be
closer than 4000 miles distance from my doctors. This Island has one of
the best Army hospitals in the world. A second
factor is that here we are located mid way between the middle of
mainland U.S. and the fields (Indonesia, Singapore & New Zealand)
where we have ministered for the past 33 plus years.
Since we have a continuing ministry with these people, this
should prove to be a blessing. Also
this Island is populated with a mixture of all of the races of the Asian
& the pacific region, the very people with whom we have ministered. We have
made the move and are busy setting up housekeeping once again. We have
been invited to work with a small mission church nearby until the Lord
leads us to the exact ministry He has for us. Please
pray with us that the Lord will bless us with a few more years to labour
in the work that you have been so faithful to with your prayers and
support. Shelby
