Merry Christmas!
We would like to wish each one of you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Let us boldly share with others the true gift of Christmas – the Good News that Jesus Saves!
Reflections:
We are nearing the end of another year. Praise the Lord for His mercy, longsuffering and goodness to us over the past year! While we “know not what a day may bring forth”, we look forward with anticipation to the many opportunities yet to come. About this time of year, I begin to reflect on the past, and pray concerning the future. Please pray with us that the Lord would give special wisdom as we seek to set some ministry goals for 2005. Pray that we would be sensitive to His leadership day by day! (Psa. 90:12)
Deputation Progress:
We thank the Lord for the saints at Calvary Baptist Church in Jacksonville, TX, who have taken us on for monthly support following a visit to their church. Please pray that we would have the Lord’s special direction as we seek to schedule additional meetings this coming year. Please pray for the safety and health of our family and divine appointments as we travel. (1 Thess. 5:25; 2 Thess. 3:1)
Ministry Progress:
Ø We now have passports for the entire family. Starting next year, we would like to begin the visa application process. There are a couple different ways we could approach this, so please be in prayer that we would have the Lord’s direction and discernment.
Ø A small classified ad in the national newspaper of Colombia “El Tiempo” brought in a number of new students to the Correspondence School.
Ø Please pray for an evangelistic outreach in Cartegena in January. Bro. William will be showing Gospel films, handing out tracts and witnessing in hopes of enrolling more students in the Correspondence School.
The Time is short ….
Flooding in and around the city of Cartegena, Colombia has resulted in many deaths recently. It is a reminder to us of the lateness of the hour, and how great the need is to get the Gospel to needy souls before it’s too late! (Jn. 9:4)
Continued Prayer Needed:
"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the
Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour
is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Cor. 15:58
Please continue to pray for an open door with the Postal Service in Colombia where we would have opportunity to put a Gospel tract and postcard for a free correspondence course in every Post Office Box in Colombia. Please join me in praying specifically for permission to be granted by the government officials and for the Lord’s perfect timing and provision. (James 4:2b, John 14:14)
The Lord bless you richly as you serve Him today!
Thank You for support received for December 2004
