Steve & Sherry DeFord ~ January 2012 Update

I Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Dear Praying friends and Faithful supports,

You have, no doubt, spent much time over the last couple of weeks reflecting on God's blessings and wondering where the time has gone. As we face another New Year Paul's words to Timothy, given through inspiration of God, seem more timely than ever. Time does fly, God does bless, but we also see more and more need for God in a world that increasingly rejects Him.

The highlight for our family over the past year was the marriage of our daughter Jackie to Mr. Jon Cook. We were blessed to see family, visit churches, and make new friends during the whole wedding experience.

The work at Peach Springs continues to overwhelm us with God's working in our lives and the lives of our Hualapai people. Steve has recently begun a new Bible study with one young man and an institute class with another man sensing God's call on his life. Sherry has also begun counseling one of our church's wives. The Sunday before Christmas we presented our annual Christmas program and had an attendance of 112! We have been seeing between 75 and 80 on a regular basis. We pray that 2012 will see an increase not only in these numbers, but also in the strength of our walk with Christ.

Thank you for your prayers, support, and special gifts during the Christmas season!

For God's Glory-the Steve De Ford family
