Dear Friends in Christ,
Once again this letter will be short. We are still staying close to home-but not in isolation or quarantine. Our county has allowed “non-essential” businesses to open back up but requiring masks when in public for all over the age of 2. However, we have 21 Indian reservations in Arizona and many of them are still pretty locked up with curfews each night and “lock-downs” each week-end. It does seem that our Indian folk are being hit the hardest with this virus. Pray with us that we will soon have a decrease in deaths and the reservations will open back up.
During this time of stress, people need to have a personal relationship with Christ to sustain them. How thankful we are for technology today that some of our missionaries are able to use to continue to teach and preach. It has been exciting to hear some of them share how they are able to lead others to Christ-even using technology when they can’t be physically together. God’s plan won’t be hindered!
Various ones have called to see how we are doing and thankfully, we can tell them that we are well and God has met all our needs. Some of the calls show that they, themselves, are struggling and they need encouragement and prayer. Thank you for continuing to support us so that we can continue to have access to emails and phone calls. It may seem minor to you but it is important to our ministry-especially at this time.
The trip to Alaska is still planned. We have volunteers coming from Virginia and N. Carolina with possibly a young man from Arizona considering joining in the construction. Pray with us for safety as they travel, safety in the work, and a good time of fellowshipping as they spend time in God’s Word together.
Though this letter doesn’t have a lot of new news, we did want you to know how good God has been to us. Thank you to each of you for your prayers and financial support.
II Cor. 2:11 “Ye also helping together by prayer for us.”
In Christ,
