Dear Co-laborers;

          Gerrie and I praise the Lord for being able to continue to serve our Him. Jan is over and Feb is passing. Since Dec. we have been in MI, OH, KY, MO, AZ, NM & OK. We are thankful for God’s Grace and Mercy as He continues to use us according to His Will where ever He opens the Door in His World. We thank all or our relatives, friends, and co-laborers for their prayers, support, kindness, and considerations!
           Although we have some options for service outside the USA we will continue to visit churches and pray that we can raise extra support and travel funds. Please pray that the Lord will lead and direct for the doors that seem to be opening for us. It is a real blessing to experience God’s leadership and blessings in the days in which we live, God Help us! Pray for our country!
One old preacher put it like this, “Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics... We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'
          Continue to pray for our sons and grandsons and those in harms way, who are serving our country to keep us free! Benjamin Franklin said, "Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one."

As always we send our love and prayers and thank you for your faithfulness as you all continue to serve our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. God is Still on His Throne. Amen!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

His Servants & Your Missionaries,
JIM & GERRIE
