Update - January ‘07

We had the great privilege this month to experience world wide missions right here in America. In the churches where we presented our ministry, we saw a wide range of ministries reaching Spanish, Cambodian, Thai, Filipino, Korean, and Chinese speaking people. Many times we think that world missions can only be done in a foreign country, but God has given us the wonderful opportunity in North America to literally reach people from almost every nation, kindred, people, and tongue (Rev. 7:9).
What a blessing it was to be able to tell others about Christ in a multi-cultural area of Los Angeles recently. I was particularly burdened about a man that Tiffany and I spoke with named Romeo. As I explained the gospel to him he seemed to understand, but he just did not seem to see his need to be saved. Would you pray for Romeo that the Holy Spirit will use the Word of God to show him his need for salvation.
Tiffany and I are so excited about what 2007 has in store for us. Although there are still a lot of “unknowns” in our future, God has at least given us very clear direction regarding language school. We are looking forward to finishing deputation in April and beginning our French studies in Quebec City in May. We have recently sent in our application to Laval University and are now awaiting our acceptance papers. We are now starting the search for a suitable apartment to rent in Quebec City. Please pray for this, and also the process of obtaining our visas.
Before heading to California for several meetings, we had the joy of ministering in a church that was started four years ago very close to where I grew up in Battle Ground, Washington. This really thrilled me because Battle Ground is a rapidly growing city with very few churches that preach the gospel, and it is exciting to see a church that is now reaching people there with the message of Jesus Christ! God also gave us several other great meetings throughout California.
We praise the Lord that our support level is now at 71%. We also have another 8-10% that is promised to us. I know that we mention it almost every month, but please continue to pray for our remaining support. We know that it is completely in God’s hands, and He is the one who will provide the remaining 10-15 supporters.
For all of you who continually support our ministry through financially giving and/or prayer support, we want to say a big thank you!
