MINISTRY UPDATE

It was a blessing to have been with pastor Jeff Cook and the Beech Avenue Baptist Church this past Lord's Day. This was my first occasion to have been with this dear pastor and Church. I greatly enjoyed preaching. The people were very open and receptive. I don't think I have been anywhere where the people showed so much interest in Native America. After the services, I was asked many questions by the people about Native America. It was a refreshing day in the Lord to have been with this pastor and his people.

As we approach a New Year, I am believing God for many things. Over the past month, I have spoken with three people who have expressed interest in serving with Native American Ministries. One of my constant prayers is that God will call forth workers to help us reach Native Americans for Christ. I ask you to pray that God will call workers into this great work.

Unless one has been on a Reservation it is hard to comprehend the great need that exists. I am in this work because of the great need and God's call in my life. Maybe you will help us reach those who have largely been forgotten.

I am thankful for the past year of blessings, but anticipating the year ahead. Thanks for all your prayers.

Yours for Native America

WEEKLY UPDATE

The past couple of weeks have been busy as usual, but blessed of God. Sunday week I was at the Shenandoah Baptist Church in Cleveland, Tennessee and pastor Jason Grubbs. This was my first opportunity to be in this Church. I was greatly blessed by all I saw and felt. There was a good crowd present and a wonderful sense of God's presence. Brother Jason is doing to good job and I anticipate great things in the future for this pastor and Church.

This past Sunday morning I was with Pastor Keith Purser and the New Birth Baptist Church near Clarksville, Georgia. It was also my first time to be in this Church. My heart was encouraged by the openness of the people and their response to the preaching of the Word of God and the needs of Native America. On Sunday night I was with Pastor Jack Lawson and the White Plains Baptist Church in Jefferson, Georgia. My heart was overwhelmed with the response of the people to Native America. They were very generous in their giving to a special project we have going. Sunday was one of those days that I will cherish in my heart.

I received the call the other day about a 23-year old Apache boy who died from complications from being an alcholic. I am grateful that one of our missionaries led him to the Lord about 2 weeks before he died. His story is one I hear almost weekly. There is no people on the face of the earth that is more needy of the story of the Lord Jesus who can saved them and set them free from the chains that hold most Native Americans in bondage. Thanks for all who help us pray for Native America.

Yours for Native America
