“be filled with the Spirit.” Ephesians 5:18b
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Greetings:
The days have gone by very quickly for our family on deputation. We have thoroughly enjoyed and been blessed by the hospitality, generosity and fellowship of the Lord’s churches and His Saints all along the way. It has been exciting to establish so many new friendships, but the times of fellowship are usually of necessity brief, and then it is time to say “goodbye for now.” One of the challenges we have faced is to try and remain organized with record keeping, correspondence, personal devotions, home-schooling and ministry responsibilities while adapting to the ever-changing schedules, climates, cultures and routines of life on the road. How desperately I recognize the need in my life in these days to obey the command of Scriptures “be filled with the Spirit!” Contained in this one command is the answer to faithfulness, fruitfulness, fervor and a host of blessings and benefits besides, not to mention the nine-fold fruit of the Spirit. I pray that each of us would increasingly realize the necessity of living out this important biblical mandate. Please pray for our family as we seek to saturate ourselves in Him! (James 4:14b, Eph. 5:15-18)
Deputation Updates:
Our travels this past month have taken us from Indiana to Ohio and back to Texas again. We have experienced safety, good health, abundant provision and a multitude of blessings as we have traveled and for this we are truly thankful to the LORD and to our faithful intercessors! Thank You for your part in making this possible! We appreciate the sacrifice and burden of the Saints at Morningside Baptist Church in Graham, TX and Riverview Baptist Church in Borger, TX for taking us on for monthly prayer and financial support! It is always an encouragement and blessing to us as the Lord moves on the heart of His churches to partner with us in taking the Gospel to Colombia. (Mark 16:15)

Ordained to the Gospel Ministry – Nov. 5th, 2005:
I would like to express my gratitude to my Pastor, sending church and each and every one who labored, prayed, planned and participated in my ordination service! I was especially honored to have a combination of veteran missionaries and pastors present on my ordination council who had a part in my discipleship and spiritual development. Thank you so very much!
Special Prayer Request:
Our Deputation Schedule: – It was back in February that we last asked special prayer for the scheduling of meetings and direction of our steps. God has richly answered your faithful intercession! We have sensed the clear leadership and provision of the Lord as He has directed our steps to churches with common burdens and raised up faithful prayer and financial supporters. I feel it is time to ask for your prayers once again. We would ask your special prayers that the Lord would give us wisdom and direction to fill our calendar in the coming months – beginning in January and through the coming year. Pray with us first and foremost for the Lord’s perfect will and timing to be realized in our schedule. Pray that we would be directed to those places where we could be a blessing, encouragement and the best stewards of the Lord’s time and resources. (I Thess. 5:25, Prov. 3:5-6, Psa. 37:23)
