Greetings to you all in that name which is above every name, the name to which one day every knee will bow and every mouth confess that HE is Lord, to the glory of the Father. What a wonderful day that will be!! “What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see, just to look into His face, this one who saved me by His grace…”
Things here are going very well, for which we give the Lord our thanks. The weekly studies are moving along nicely and people are encouraged. The Sunday meetings at the Navy Base assembly are packed out each Sunday morning. We have run out of chairs for the Sunday School and need to purchase some new ones, what a wonderful problem to have!!
The new “semester” of Bible school at Navy Base has about 25 who are studying this time around, I think it is the largest group since we started these sessions back in 2007. We are currently studying the prophecies of Daniel and will finish up with that overview this Sunday and begin a look at the Olivet Discourse of our Lord. It has been an enjoyable study to teach.
There are a few here that are going through some very difficult times of trial and testing. Much of the suffering that they are enduring is not a result of their own personal sin and failure but that of those around them. So they are suffering affliction, but are remembering that “….in Faithfulness you have afflicted me” Psalm 119:75. Please pray that the Lord’s will might be done in the lives of these dear saints.
Joyce remains cancer free, for which we give our Lord praise. She had an ultrasound yesterday since the doctor had some concerns but it showed no irregularities and no problems. It is just one of the many blessings that He allows us to enjoy. My last tests have shown that all systems are go. My heart is doing well, my body is tolerating all the drugs without a problem and there are no irregularities, again we give the Lord our praise for His unmerited kindness to us.
We will be returning to Kayapa next month to hold a DVBS program, have a film showing, hold some studies and do some visiting, Lord willing. Please keep this new venture in your prayers. We pray for the salvation of souls and the eventual beginning of a new assembly in this region as the Lord leads and allows.
Thank you all so very much for your prayers. He is a wonderful God to serve!
