Dear friends,
Our
new year has begun with being newly situated in the Northwest. The week before
Christmas we packed up our things in Springfield, MO, and began our trek to
Washington State, where we will be living until the end of May. We praise the
Lord for His blessing of safety and the open window between bad weather on the
mountain passes. We did have one scary situation with icy roads, however. God
spared us from an accident as John saw up close the rear license plate of a
truck as it spun into a ditch beside us on the freeway.
John has traveled about twenty-five
thousand miles since August reporting to churches in Ohio, Georgia, Florida
and Louisiana. God's grace was in abundance in the travels as he had no
problems.
Neila and the girls had a good stay in
Springfield for the fall. The girls enjoyed the experience of a classroom
setting, but are now happy to be back to homeschooling. Where we are now
living, there is no Christian school close by for the girls to attend.
We have a few prayer requests for the new year.
* John is still scheduling for spring and summer. We are still in need of an increase in our support level, so please pray he'll get into several new churches. Please pray also for his travels.
*
Neila and the girls need your prayers for getting back into the
homeschool routine.
* Please pray
for our family's health.
* Please also pray for the Cato family and the ministry in Caxias do Sul,
Brazil.
The news is really encouraging from the
field. There have been a few additions in attendance, replacing those who have
moved away or quit attending. There is also news of spiritual victories such
as souls saved and people getting more involved in the work.
Thank you all for your prayers.
In His service,
John & Neila
