It is amazing to think that we’re in mid December already!  As we travel I am reminded that our time in the States is limited.  In just a few short months we’ll be flying to Cebu!  For now we are enjoying this holiday season and traveling to more churches in our local area.  Our most recent meeting took us to the quiet countryside of Union City, Pennsylvania to visit Hatch Hollow Baptist Church.  We were blessed by their care and kindness toward our family.  The pastor personally went out of his way to make sure our needs were met while we were with them and we are very thankful for all they did on our behalf!  Abigail has met a lot of wonderful examples in her short life and for that we are thankful! 

Our next meeting took us to Lockport, New York where we presented the ministry on a Wednesday night.  We had met the people of Antioch Bible Baptist Church earlier this year at their Family Camp and looked forward to seeing them again.  For many churches a Wednesday night service has ceased to be a prayer meeting and we miss the opportunity to pray as a church.  This was not the case at the Antioch Bible Baptist Church.  They even asked us about our needs and took the time to specifically pray for our family.  After being bathed in such prayer I was excited to preach!  Our time in Lockport was so refreshing and encouraging!  The Lord blessed us again after the service when a young man came up to me and said, “Let me guess, your shoe size is a ten?  I have a pair of brand new shoes that the Lord wants me to give you.”  What a blessing!  God has used His people over and over again to take care of our needs.
