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 […]

Sam & Janet Grammer Jan 2016
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 […]
Sam & Janet Grammer Dec 2015
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. […]
Grammer’s November Letter
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 […]
Sam & Janet Grammer October 2015
October 2015 Dear Friends in Christ, The first class of the Bible Institute was started this month. The pastor who was organizing this was healing from surgery on a detached retina, so we started a couple of weeks later than we had hoped, but definitely in God’s timing. The first class had 11 students with […]
Sam & Janet Grammer Sept 2015
September 2015 Dear Friends in Christ, God plans our schedule for us and often we travel on week-ends to minister in different Churches on the Navajo Reservation. For a few weeks, we found ourselves in Flagstaff and asked the Lord to provide opportunities to give out His Word. Recently, a Navajo lady brought her mom […]
Grammer’s July 2015 Update
Dear Friends in Christ, Psalm 116:15 “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” A couple of weeks ago, we received word that one of our dear friends, Carl Filer, left this old world and is now with the Lord. Carl and Esther have been behind us in prayer and […]
Grammer’s Prayer Letter May 2015
May 2015 Dear Friends in Christ, Greetings from Arizona. Yes, we are home once again after 6 weeks on the road. We knew we were getting close to home when we say road-side sales for “fry-bread” and “roasted pinions” rather than “maple syrup”. After over 6,500 miles, it is good to be home. Thank you […]
Grammer’s Feb 2015
Dear Friends in Christ, We are sending this letter a couple of weeks late for a reason. In mid-March, we will be driving back to the east coast for Sam’s mother’s memorial service. We also plan to visit a few of our supporting churches before returning to Arizona. Since we will be on the […]
Sam & Janet Grammer Jan 2015
Jan 2015 Dear Friends in Christ, A few months ago, Sam’s Mom had to be moved from her home on a Maryland farm, into a nursing home. She never really enjoyed this move and seemed to struggle with colds and various viruses that she was now exposed to. On Jan. 10, she finished this earthly […]
Grammer’s Christmas Letter 2014
Dear Friends in Christ, We had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving time this year. First, we were able to be with the Cedar Ridge Baptist Church for their Thanksgiving meal where Sam was asked to speak. Janet played the piano for the special day. At present, they have a piano but no pianist. One of their […]
Grammer’s Fall Update 2014
Dear Friends in Christ, We plan to be enjoying our annual family get together for Thanksgiving at the end of November, so we’ve decided to send October’s news out a bit late and include the month of November. Our last day as Pastor at Navajo Fellowship Baptist Church in Page was very encouraging. We were […]
