Happy New Year praying Friends and Family! May the Lord’s blessings, guidance, and provision be with you throughout 2016!
Thank you to all who have prayed for Carol’s and my health. We both have recovered. However, I do really sense that my many bouts of malaria are taking a toll on me physically so your continual prayers are appreciated for ongoing health and strength to carry on with the beautiful calling the Lord has given to us…and YOU…our prayer and financial supporters.
This newsletter will be short, the goal being to provide praise reports as well as the needs before us.

Thank you for your ongoing prayers and loving sacrificial support. We are sowing and watering together and God is giving the increase!.
“What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his wages according to his labor.For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.”
1 Corinthians 3:5-9 ESV (Emphasis mine)
The Grace of the Lord Jesus be with you!
