Elizabeth’s Grandpa Horn with our Abigail

We would like to thank everyone for their prayers for Grandpa Horn.  After battling his emphysema for twenty-six years he finally went home to heaven on the eighteenth of this month.  It’s never easy to say goodbye to our loved ones and Grandpa has already been greatly missed.  The Lord let Elizabeth and I spend Grandpa’s last days with him in the hospital, reading scripture and singing hymns.  What a testimony for grandpa to have all his children and grandchildren gathered around singing and quoting the Bible.  We thank the Lord for those precious moments and now we have one more reason to look forward to heaven.  “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.” Psalm 116:15

The Sunday before Valentines Day we went to New York to present our mission field to two different churches.  From the morning to the afternoon we were with  Pastor Burdick and Maranatha Baptist Church in Mayville.  It wasn’t all that long ago that I filled in the pulpit for Pastor Burdick and met the congregation.  It was good to see them again and some new faces too.  Something fun and unexpected, in honor of Valentines Day a gentleman sang some love songs during lunch.  This was definitely a first for us.  Never before have we been serenaded in our travels!  We had a lot of fun and enjoyed being with the church.  After the afternoon service in Mayville, we traveled to Lockport to be with First Bible Baptist Church for their evening service.  I’ve known Pastor Strobel for many years through the Teen Tristate meetings and looked forward to being at his church for the first time.   During the service I was given the opportunity to preach and show our video presentation.  It won’t be long now before we leave for the Philippines!  Please keep us in prayer as we finish deputatation with just a few more meetings to go!

A Dedication

Ever since Elizabeth and I began praying for a child we knew that our baby was a gift and that she truly belonged to God.  Our Abbie is in God’s hands and couldn’t be in better care! On February 5th,  we publicly dedicated Abigail to God and gave her back to Him.  We don’t know what God’s plan is for Abigail but we trust Him to guide and use her life.  It’s our job, as the parents, to raise her to the best of our ability and let God take control of her life.  Maybe someday God will use her on a mission field away from us or call her back to the States!  Whatever His will, we have to obey God and let Him guide our daughter.  Children certainly are a blessing and we’re so happy that the Lord gave us our special bundle.  It’s our prayer that Abigail will get saved early in life and love the Lord all her years!  “For this child I have prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him: Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD…” I Samuel 1:27-28

Great news!  We bought our plane tickets!  We are so excited to be in this final phase of our deputation.  It’s hard to believe that we’re almost there; our time on the road has been fun but we’re looking forward to moving to our new home.  God has blessed us over and over again and we feel so privileged to serve Him in Cebu.  Please keep us in prayer as we finish traveling and prepare to leave.  We have a few more churches to visit and Elizabeth and I have to finish packing our things.  Praise the Lord for great things He has done!!!
