Less than 2 weeks ago, we returned from travels to spend Thanksgiving with our family. It was a good trip. Not counting potholes, the roads were clear and the weather dry. 4 times we had traffic slow and even stop because of accidents ahead. Once we drove past an accident that occurred only moments before that had severe injuries, It was a reminder to us of God’s protection and keeping us from being involved in any of them. We did have a flat tire-but again, we saw God protecting us and providing in various ways. Being just after Thanksgiving we were able to get all new tires at a good price; saving us a few hundred $’s. (He even protected our home while we were away and we are thankful for neighbors that watched for us and brought in our mail.)
Thank you for praying for Janet’s knee. Recovery is slow, but steady and we are thankful that no surgery seems to be required.
While in NC, we were able to meet with some of our volunteer crews on the Alaskan Radio Project and make plans for this coming summer’s work. Please continue to pray for us for:
1-electric to be brought to the property so generator power will no longer be necessary and broadcast hours won’t be restricted.
2-The right missionary to man the station and the financial support he will need.
3-Supplies and costs of supplies needed to complete the building. (This past summer, we were unable to obtain the needed cedar siding. This is now being cut and hopefully ready for us when our work teams are there.)
Janet presently has 3 piano students and 2 of them are being trained as church pianists. The 3rdis a Mormon girl that she is hoping to witness to. She would appreciate your prayers as she teaches each one.
Sam is presently taping a teaching of the book of Titus. Pray that these recordings will be helpful to future students.
Due to the increase of postage costs, we aren’t sending many Christmas cards this year. We hope you are rejoicing with us that our Creator loved us so much that He took on Human form and came as a baby, knowing that He would have to die a painful death so that we can spend eternity with Him. The best Christmas gift of all time!!!
Once again, thank you for praying with us and being a part of our ministry to the Lord.
