April Letter from Grammer’s

Sam & Janet Grammer March 2016
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 […]
Sam & Janet Grammer Feb 2016
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 […]

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 […]
