“We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers. We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.” -1 Thessalonians 1: 2-3 NIV
We continue to travel and visit with family, friends and partners, and we were so encouraged by our time in Alabama and Georgia. Seeing family members as well as friends, including people we served with in PNG, has been a genuine blessing. We do not take these opportunities for granted, as we often only see our loved ones for a few days once every 3 to 4 years, so the time is very precious. We try to focus on the eternal perspective, knowing we will spend forever with our brothers and sisters in Christ as we worship Jesus, and this gives us peace each time we say ‘goodbye for now’ to those we love. This season of thankfulness is a mindset we try to embrace year round, as we are always thankful to each of our partners who make our Wycliffe ministry in Papua New Guinea possible. Thank you to those of you who responded to our increase in ministry budget; we now need to raise only $350 a month. If you are not currently a financial partner with our Wycliffe ministry and would like to be, please contact us using the link below or email.
Please continue to let us know how we can be praying for you, and we pray you will have a mindset of gratitude and thankfulness during this season of Thanksgiving, and appreciate the time you have with your loved ones. We are always thankful for each of you and you are in our hearts and our prayers always!
