Dear Praying friends,
We had a wonderful Lord’s Day today. We were very full. We had a number of visitor children who made lots of noise in the service, but we are thankful for the 19 children who came today.
We are leaving tomorrow morning at 4:30AM to go to South Carolina for Mike’s family reunion, Ohio to visit our home church, and Pennsylvania to visit Faith’s mom and dad. The kids are oh-so-excited. Mom and dad are too, but they are very tired. We will be returning on the 27th of December. So, we won’t be able to send a prayer update for a few weeks. But, please keep praying.
We have several special speakers coming for the three Sundays, but Mike has assigned the work on Wednesdays and Sunday School to the men and young men of the church. They will really need to be bathed in your prayers. Please pray for the church people to fulfill their responsibilities.
Several people have organized a special young people’s activity devotional and get together. We aren’t able to have many of those. Pray that it will be a good time and a time of Christian fellowship for them. It will be on December 16.
Mike will be preaching in Mentor, Ohio on December 18 and in Pennsylvania on December 24.
Special announcement--Any of you at or around BJU, we will be in the Snack Shop on Tuesday morning, December 6, (that is two days from now) from 9:00 AM til 12:00 PM. If you can get by to see us, we’d love to see you. We are going to try to see several past and future interns also at this time.
Praise that Hector and Teresa were there today. Elsa was not. Pray for each of them.
Since Reme is not going to be helping us with school, she has decided to be a missionary, visiting people in the church and organizing the youth get together. Pray for her to have an effective ministry.
Thank you for your prayers,
Mike for us all
