Dear friends,

We just returned from a week-end on the San Carlos Apache Reservation at the Gilson Wash Baptist Church. If you remember, these folks are presently without a pastor and praying for the right man that the Lord wants with them. Next Sunday, they have a man coming to candidate, so please pray with us for them.

Hello everyone!

We had a good holiday season...it sure went by fast!

We have been doing well here at the "Chapel". Our numbers have gone down since the summer of 2005. But it is good to see the faithful few who still attend the services. Our children's class has had its downsizing as well. It seems that they stay up late Saturday evening and sleep in Sunday Am. One of our SS children’s’ grandma went home to be with Jesus, so Debbie and I went to the funeral. The children have grown taller. We attended just to let them know we still do care for them. Pray for Anthony, Matthew and Angel.

Dear Friends,

II Corinthians 9:15 – “Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift.”

We do thank God for His gift, the Lord Jesus.

We have had a good year. The church is doing well. Attendance goes up and down, but a few weeks ago we had 80 on Sunday. The Sunday School classes, Bible studies and children’s clubs are all going well also. We have a 79 year old man who has been attending church for about 4 months. Last month, he accepted Christ as Savior. What a miracle for a man his age.

Dear Praying Friends,

Second Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.

Once again weare drawing to the close of another year. The Lord is good and we rejoice together that He has met each need.

Dear Prayer Partners,

“Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow”

This time of year is when we recount the innumerable blessings the Lord has showered us with. It is impossible to relate to you, our faithful supporting churches and individuals, all that the Lord has blessed us with in the measure of this past year. Following is a weak attempt.

Dear Ones in Him,

“Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee.” Luke 8:39

These were Christ's words to a man filled with gratitude after being wonderfully restored by Jesus. Reflecting on the year of 2007, our desire is to share with you “how great things God has been doing in our lives and the ministry.”

Earlier in the year we experienced some low periods. Our church van had been totaled, we didn't know where we stood on the renewal of the lease on the church building, we had lost a sizable amount of our personal support, and our Youth Pastor and wife left, feeling the Lord was leading them to a new area of ministry.

Though we didn't have the answers to these problems, it has been exciting to see how our loving Heavenly Father has worked in each of these situations.
