Dear Partners,
We are so thankful for all that the Lord has given us. We have health, we have our needs
supplied everyday, and we are surrounded by family and friends. We (still) enjoy great liberty and freedom that so many around the world do not. We are blessed to be able to have a part in the work of building HIS kingdom. We are also very thankful for all of you
who support us financially and prayerfully. 2 Corinthians 9:12 For the administration of
this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many
thanksgivings unto God. Many thanksgivings to you and God bless you all!
I mentioned in the last letter that we had a run of COVID make its way through the
congregation. I think we are all back to good health now and we have gotten fully back to laboring together in the work. We spend time each week door knocking and handing out John and Romans. This year has been different than years past because now we have on average two or three other families go out with us. With this extra help, we have been able to cover a lot more ground this past year and have even expanded our outreach to some
areas we have never been to before. We do try to reach Monument proper every year but now we get Monument plus. Praise the Lord. Please pray that these efforts will result in souls saved and church growth.
It has been a slower couple of months as far as visitors to the church. We did have a couple of cadets from the Air Force Academy visit us. Please pray for Ruby and Easton as they train to defend our country…and as they seek the Lord. The Lord has laid such a burden on my heart for the cadets, and we would love to reach them for Christ before they head off all around the world. Pray for wisdom and open doors in this area.
We were blessed to be a part of a missions conference in November at Penrose Baptist
Church, our sending church. We received amazing love and support from the church family and had some great fellowship with them and with other missionaries. We came out of the
conference refreshed and encouraged. Truly fellowship is something we all need and have
dearly missed things like this over the last year and a half. More than we realized.
We continue our Bible study/discipleship with Brandi. Her growth over the last year has been amazing. She has volunteered to do a children’s Sunday School class once a month and she is doing great. Brandi has a tremendous burden to reach her family. Please join us in prayer for her Mom and Stepdad and two grown children.
We also had another woman in the church step up to conduct a children’s program for our midweek service. We all stay together for the preaching service and then she takes the
kids for their time while we adults have our prayer service. It is working out wonderfully.
Pray for us as we enter into the Christmas season. Pray that the Lord will soften the
hearts of the people in the Monument, CO. They need the Lord but so many don’t think they
do. Our hearts hurt for these poor (in spirit) rich (in worldly goods) folks. Revelation 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: May the Lord help them see their desperate condition before it is too late.
We do want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas. May the Lord be glorified in and
through you this season, which may very well be our last Christmas to serve Him.
In His service,
