PRAISE
“But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.” (Philippians 4:10) We praise the Lord for His loving watch care over us during our furlough in the States. All the churches we have been in have received us warmly. We have enjoyed the preaching of God’s Word and hymns and fellowship with God’s people.
One of the greatest highlights of our furlough has been being able to spend time with three of our adult children and our two GRANDCHILDREN, Elijah and Willow! This was our first time seeing our granddaughter Willow face to face. I just can’t imagine two greater grandchildren than mine! Of course, I could be just a little biased in my opinion.
PRAYER
Please pray for us, as we are laboring to obtain our Dominican Residence visas. The process to obtain our visas is one of much patience and changes along the way. My family and I are going to the Dominican Republic to spend time with our church family; please pray that it would be a fruitful trip for us. We truly miss them! We will also be taking care of various responsibilities with our church, house, immigration lawyer, etc. We leave from the Orlando airport on December 8, and we will return to the U.S. on December 21, for the purpose of submitting all of the necessary completed documents. We are trusting in God’s promises and provision throughout this process.
GRATITUDE
My family and I are very grateful to each one of our supporting churches for their faithfulness in praying for us and investing financially in the ministry God has entrusted to us. I would like to take time to write about one of our supporting churches in particular and give thanks unto God for them. Pastor Worley and the faithful members of Freedom Baptist Church of Eastover, North Carolina, have again been a tremendous blessing to our family and ministry. They recently sent us a love offering in the amount of $2,000.00 for our expenses in obtaining our residence visas! My family and I are overwhelmed in how God greatly has used Pastor Paul Worley and his generous people to bless and encourage my family. Thank you, Pastor Worley and church. Your care of me (us) hath flourished again!
For souls,
