The calendar says it\u2019s spring!?\u00a0 But it\u2019s a bit questionable.\u00a0 We had 12 degrees one night and then it was in the 60\u2019s and no need for a jacket when walking outside.\u00a0 What fun guessing what to wear each day.Last Sunday we had another baptism.\u00a0 A SS teacher used Easter Sunday to once again explain what it meant to accept Christ\u2019s gift of salvation.\u00a0 At the end of class, she told her students to come talk with her if they had any questions or wanted to be saved.\u00a0 Her own son responded and\u00a0 the following day, in their home, she led her son to Christ!\u00a0 He seems to be quite aware of what happened and wanted to be baptized.\u00a0 What a privilege for any parent-especially one that has brought up his name for prayer for the past couple of years!We have recently had new prayer cards printed and have sent a few to each supporting church.\u00a0 If you didn\u2019t get one, but want one, please send us a note.\u00a0 Also let us know if you need more for your church.<\/p>\n

Sam has completed his 9th oral surgery and presently has no bottom teeth.\u00a0 The surgeon has told him not to return until he\u2019s had his dentures and then just for a check-up!\u00a0 We are so thankful that he still has good speech with only an occasional\u00a0 lisp for his \u201csh\u2019s\u201d.\u00a0 He also doesn\u2019t have much swelling or discoloring so is still able to preach and teach.<\/p>\n

God is good and we\u2019re thankful that He never leaves or forsakes us. God provided a surgeon who gave us a 40% discount-but still the cost to this point was over $4,000.\u00a0 Just over $3,000 was given to help us with this financial need! Thank you to each of you that have helped us. We don\u2019t know just what the dentures will cost but confident that God will continue to keep His promise to supply all our needs. Thank you so much to each of you who have been used by God in supplying. We are looking forward to the end of this \u201cjourney\u201d.<\/p>\n

We are very aware of your part in our ministry and thank you for both your prayers and your gifts.<\/p>\n

In Christ,
\nSam & Janet<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
