Serving the local churches and their missionaries December 2016 Dear faithful friends and supporters, Once again, it seems like Christmas has come “all of a sudden.” And yet it reminds us of when Jesus came “when the fullness of the time was come” (Gal. 4:4), though few were looking for or expecting His arrival. Every year when Christmas comes, we are reminded that Jesus arrived right on time the first time, and He will come without delay the second time! And while we wait for His return, we remain busy for the Lord: October: All four of us drove north to attend the WBF Semi-Annual Meeting in Connersville, Indiana. Pastor Tim Billups and the folks of Connersville Baptist Temple were very hospitable to those who attended the meeting. The preaching was challenging and the fellowship was encouraging. We were then able to spend a day in Canada before circling back to Michigan to preach at Open Door Baptist Church in Midland, Michigan. We had a blessed time there before heading back to Texas! At the end of October it was a privilege to preach at Victory Baptist Church in Seagoville, Texas, and to speak to their Awana Kids Class on Wednesday night concerning missions. We are grateful for these opportunities to challenge young people to serve the Lord! On the last day of October, God provided us with a vehicle for Emily! This is a great help with both Julie and I working every day. God is good! November: I had the privilege of filling in to preach at a church in Greenville, Texas, while they search for a pastor. We frequently hear of churches across the U.S. who are in need of a pastor. Please pray that God would send forth laborers right here in the U.S. to pastor these churches that are so vital in the Great Commission! I also had the privilege to preach in McGregor, Texas, for Pastor Charlie Brown at McGregor Baptist Church. It was a blessing to fellowship with those faithful folks! December: During this month, I will have the opportunity to preach at Northside Baptist Church in Carrollton, Texas, and the rest of the month we will be faithful in our church, Pleasantview Baptist Church, as we celebrate the Christmas season. Since our previous prayer letter, we had another church take us on for support! Praise the Lord! Please continue to pray that we will reach our needed level of support soon. PRAYER REQUEST: WBFMA Office: Please pray for us as we make some technological upgrades to provide greater efficiency and benefits for those we serve. We hope each one of you has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you for being such a blessing to us! Serving the Lord together,
