“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6)
It has been nearly six months since my stroke, but the Lord knows I’m busy trying to get back what I have lost. I called my pastor, John Wilkerson, and he told me to live until I die. That is good advice for anyone who wants to give and serve. So we keep on going for the Lord.
The first week of November, BEST had their 47th container of Scriptures arrive in Bangkok. Tan organized the group of people to help him unload the container. I thank the Lord for all Tan does to make sure the Scriptures are unloaded and distributed. There were 672 whole Bibles, 1,824 New Testaments, 46,000 John & Romans, and 7,100 Gospel tracts distributed by BEST during the month of November. You folks who give to BEST have a part in that. Thank you so much.
One of my converts went to Heaven the last week of the month. I was able to preach his Homegoing service, and I was able to encourage his family to keep doing his work. What a blessing it is to serve the Lord in a time of need.
I started home healthcare and therapy once again. Please pray that I can get back to normal again, whatever normal is. Please pray also for a vehicle that I can drive my power chair into, which a good friend purchased for me, and pray that I would be able to drive again.
This is the greatest time of the year. We get to celebrate the birth of Christ! Where would we be if we did not have a Bible? Yet over half the whole world does not have a Bible in their language. Most of the world does not celebrate His arrival—what a shame. He is the reason for the season.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
(Isaiah 9:6)
Thank the Lord for His providing us poor lost sinners with a Saviour, and thank you for making BEST Missions one of the few ministries providing many folks with their very first Bible. Thank you and may the Lord continue to bless you and your family in this NEW YEAR!
Into all the world,
Brother Bowen
