Dear Family and Friends,

BETTER IS LITTLE WITH THE FEAR OF THE LORD

When we find ourselves thirsting for more in this life, Proverbs 15:16 delivers to us a valuable lesson, “Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.” If God has blessed you with much…fear the Lord, and don’t trust in uncertain riches. If you have little…fear the Lord, and keep resting in your Great Provider for provisions. You can also add Proverbs 22:4 to the mind, “By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honor, and life.” 

TAKE NOTE: This will be our last mail out until MAY 2023 due to travels and being away from access to our office. You can still receive our monthly updates via email. Those emails have a link to a printable copy. If you are receiving monthly updates in the mail box and wish to fully move to the email updates permanently, let us know to remove your address and then go to our website and sign up to receive our monthly updates by email. Thank you for your attention to this. :)

Rachel has been asked to make our friends, supporters, and other churches aware that we have started a fund for getting her next music CD recorded. If you would like to contribute to this need, please write “MUSIC CD” in the memo.

Dear Family and Friends... The Work of our December ministry was exciting and extremely blessed by the Lord!  Our hearts are full, and we are marveling over our Saviour's birth! We are rejoicing over so many things to report...first, thank you for your faithful prayers, love and support. NOTES:  We ARE CURRENTLY in Alaska visiting family and ministering the Word of God through the first week of February. Please take note that any support sent by mail may take a little longer to be deposited. Also, our envelopes need to be reprinted due to an old address on them. If you don’t know it already, please take note of the new address for correspondence on our website. We will attempt to produce an annual “report” newsletter after the first of the year, but this may not be accomplished until we return from Alaska the first part of February. We shall see! REJOICE POINTS: 1. We were gifted a trip to Branson!  We got to meet and fellowship with the lovely people of Calvary Baptist C...
