Genesis 1:15 "God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also."

Then He sent His Son to be the Light of the World, as a human, and still God! Impossible to figure out, this God! But we are so thankful for His amazing love for us; thankful for His gift of salvation; thankful for this time of year to put special focus on Jesus, the focus of Heaven, and hopefully the focus of our lives.

Praise the Lord!!! He has provided a house for us. A dear friend in our church has offered a home to stay in for as long as we need! It needs some work so pray as we seek to get this and packing and moving accomplished in the next weeks and month.

Praise:
1. A wonderful home in the country.
2. A wonderful church family to help with the transition.
3. 9 lives who were rescued by the power of the Holy Spirit this Sunday at our church!
4. So many friends like you who are praying for us. We love you guys!

Prayer:
1. 2nd vehicle as I will need to get a "real" job for a while.
2. We will need an electric dryer and stove and a place to store our gas dryer and stove (and a few other things) - we may try putting in a small LP tank so we can use what we have.
3. We need boxes and packing bubbles and such.
4. For the new believers' protection and growth mentioned above.
5. For our friends at Mirriam Christian Chapel in Indiana. Their Pastor recently went home to be with his Savior.

Dear Friends,

It's been just three weeks since I resigned from Bible Impact Ministries, yet God has overwhelmed us with so much support from some of you. Thank you! You are a blessing to us during a tough time of growth.

Please keep praying that:

1. We will remain faithful to God

2. We will lead our family in integrity

3. Our family will grow in grace and integrity through this

4. I can find work till God leads to the next ministry

We are talking with a couple different people about houses that may be available to us. Packing will not be an easy thing for us, as memories will make the job difficult. Pray that God will grow us even through this task.

We love you, our faithful supporters, and we will keep you informed each step of the journey.
