Jan. 2017 Dear Friends in Christ,             The family “secretary” was away for over 4 weeks attending the weddings of 2 grandkids, as well as our annual family get-together for Thanksgiving.  Thank you to those who were praying as we traveled and “yes” the weddings were a good family time. We are so pleased that […]

Nov 2016 Dear Friends in Christ, Thanks for your prayers for the second trip to Alaska this summer.  The footers are now in place and the weather was good for the work.  However, while in Alaska, we found that a septic needed to be installed and while there, the inspector was brought out and steps […]

Oct. 2016 Dear Friends in Christ, A Christian contractor from Alaska has given us a fair bid on the building of the radio station building and was willing to adjust it so we could stay within our budget and not go into debt on the project. However, he suggested that it would be better to […]

August 2016 Dear Friends in Christ, Our great grandson, Peter Chick was born last month and we asked prayer for him.  Thank you!  2 weeks after his birth, he was finally released from the hospital and is doing well.  We are now praying that he will accept Christ early in his life so that his […]

July 2016 Dear Friends in Christ, About every 3-4 weeks, Janet goes to a local nursing home to visit one of the ladies from Tuba City.  Because of the age of this lady, she doesn’t speak much English, so Janet takes a Navajo Christian  (Helen) with her to translate.  Together we sing in Navajo and […]

Dear Friends in Christ, So what do we do now that we are no longer pastoring?  Glad you asked.  It’s quite diversified and yet in so many ways similar to what we were doing when pastoring in a single church. Many of our week-ends are busy with pulpit supply; mostly on the Navajo Reservation, but […]

Dear Friends in Christ, Last month, we shared with you about a Navajo Pastor, Albert, who we had visited in the hospital as he was dying.  He was on pain medication for several weeks (months) and is no longer suffering pain.  The Lord has taken him home.  His funeral was this last week-end but we […]

February 2016 Dear Friends in Christ, January ended with several deaths of elderly people that we knew.  Some were believers and others left us uncertain as to their relationship with the Lord.  Once again, we were aware of the difference it makes when you know the Lord as your Saviour, both in the one dying […]

January 2016 Dear Friends in Christ, During the holidays, we received many cards from you and many of them with personal notes. Due to the expense, we don’t send many cards other than within our family circle, so please don’t feel slighted if you didn’t get one from us. We do try to stay in […]

December 2015 Dear Friends in Christ, Once again we are back in Arizona. We had a nice visit with our family in North Carolina with 3 of our daughters and their families, as well as “face-time” with Sam and Amber’s family in Alaska. This is an annual event that we look forward to each year. […]

November 2015 Dear Friends in Christ, As we stood with the family beside the body of a brother in Christ who had just left us and is now with the Lord, we were reminded of another death last month. Last month, the man’s salvation was uncertain and his mother was the only one who seemed […]
