Well, “ready or not” 2006, we’re here!
We want to say what a blessing and encouragement each of you have been who took the time to remember this missionary family during the busy holiday season! We greatly appreciate your cards, prayers, letters and special offerings! Thank You!
We were privileged to be at our home church for the baptismal service of Jonathan and Rachel. We rejoice at the work of grace in their hearts and covet your prayers that Jeremiah, Abigail and Joel would also be saved and that we would “train up our children in the way they should go” and for the glory of God!
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” 3 John 4
Deputation and Ministry Updates:
We were in Missouri, Arkansas and Texas this past month. We were only able to get a limited number of meetings to present the ministry, however we preached in seven churches in all, and we pray, lifted up Christ, challenged sinners and were a blessing and encouragement to Saints. In some of the slower times we have made progress researching and learning more about possible ways of using the internet and technology to spread the Gospel in Colombia – even before we arrive. Pray the Lord would give continued wisdom and direction, and that the Gospel could truly be communicated effectively.
The work in Colombia continues to grow. We see how the Lord is using Bro. Aya in a tremendous way for the salvation of souls, the spread of the Gospel and laying a solid foundation for the establishment of local, N.T. Baptist Churches to the glory of God. One of my personal prayers for a long time was that the Lord would send me to a “prepared people.” The Lord is giving clear confirmation of answered prayer! Bro. Aya’s December prayer letter tells the details much better than I could. (You will find a copy along with this letter.) Bro. Aya has been laboring faithfully through difficulty and with the bare minimum of personal support this past year and a half. He is surely worthy of your prayers and support! If the Lord would so lead you to help toward their personal support, toward postage to mail correspondence lessons or a one-time special offering, direct it to: Mission Blvd. Baptist Church, PO Box 2935, Fayetteville, AR 72702.

Prayer Requests:
Our Deputation Schedule: – We recognize our great need of the Lord’s leadership for our time, schedule and travels in the coming year! Pray with us that the Lord’s perfect will, protection, provision and timing be realized.
Future Plans: – We need wisdom and confirmation about a short trip to Colombia to help coordinate an evangelistic outreach and get a firsthand witness of the developing ministry. I would really like for Ann to be able to go, at least for a week, to see the field God has called us to, as well as experience the Colombian culture and people. We covet your prayers that Gods will would be clearly made known.
Prayer Challenge:
“Ye have not, because ye ask not” – James 4:2b
A man once did Alexander the Great a service. Alexander the Great told him he could ask for any
type of reward he wished. The man made an enormous demand on the treasury that the Imperial
Treasurer refused to pay. The man appealed to Alexander who said “This man knows the greatness
of Alexander and has asked accordingly. We are greatly honored. Grant his request.” – Unknown
Christian, do we truly trust that God is able to do “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think?” (Eph. 3:20-21) Then let’s “attempt great things for God, ask great things of God.”
The Moores to Colombia
(Exodus 33:14-15)
