Greetings to you all once again in that name which is above every name, the name of our blessed savior the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you all for your prayers on our behalf. He, by His grace, has brought us safely into South Carolina where we will be staying for about a week. We left Chicago on January 15th and traveled to West Virginia for the weekend. What a beautiful trip through the mountains. We arrrived in Hinton West Virginia, nestled into those beautiful mountains, on Saturday the 16th and were greeted warmly by Harry Pilkington who has lived and served the Lord in that area since the early 60s. We learned in our discussions with him that the Lord, by His wonderful grace, used that small assembly to send out over 50 men into His service full time over the years. That is quite remarkable, and stands as a testimony to the faithfulness of the Lord and to the faithfulness of His bondservants. We were privileged to share from the Word of the Lord on the Lord's day there, both morning and evening. We much enjoyed our time and the warmth of their hospitality to us.
We left the Hinton on Monday to head for South Carolina. The continuing trip through the mountains was absolutely breathtaking. We arrived in Lancaster SC late in the afternoon and will be staying with Joyce's brother Dale and his wife Lois for a week or so. The Lord in His grace, has provided opportunities for us to share in the assembly in Winston Salem on Wednesday night, then in Charlotte NC on the Lord's day both in the morning and evening. Then we have a Wednesday night meeting in Greenville SC where we will have opportunity to visit with our good friends Joe and Romona Marquez, mssionaries to Paraguay. Then we are off to Georgia for a missionary conference in Augusta on Saturday and to speak at the assembly on the Lord's day as well. The following week we have a meeting at Lake Lannier Bible Chapel north of Atlanta, on Tuesday. On Wednesday we will have opportunity to share of the work in the Philippines in Lincolnton GA, before heading down to Florida, for a meeting at Park of the Palms on Thursday. So we have a rather busy schedule ahead of us, so please keep us in your prayers.
