Long Absence

We've been away from the blog for awhile...lots of reasons, but we won't take the time for that today. Folks, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is that we spend more time in prayer. We missionaries need your prayers and the missionaries need to pray for the churches. Our churches are suffering financially across this country as folks lose their jobs in this economy. As a result, missionary support is down, way down. We've lost about half of our monthly missionary support in the past 12 months. Some of this is due to the fact that, because of Cindy's health, we've had to change fields. God knew all about this and it was in His plan. However, some didn't want to support a missionary to Native American Indians. It's a bit frustrating. It wasn't really our choice to leave Cambodia, but it was what the Lord showed us was the right thing to do. So, we lost some support due to leaving Cambodia and some we lost due to the economy. We need your support. If you would like to help us reach Native American Indians for Christ, we'd be grateful.

Western Hemisphere's Worst Natural Disaster in 200 Years

These photos are courtesy of Twitpic and Convoy of Hope. They're down there already, helping the victims of the earthquake. Don't know how many have died, but it's probably in 10's of thousands. There are a lot of missing people.

Leah's Youth Mission Trip

Many of you have helped towards Leah's mission trips in the past. We wanted to mention it in case you'd like to help again. She's been to Romania and to another country which shall not be named. In "the unnamed country" she personally led 13 souls to the Lord Jesus Christ during an 8 day trip. Cindy and I are thrilled about her love for the Lord and for mission work. If you would like to help Leah, she needs about $2,000 to make the trip. She has to make monthly payments in October, November, December and January. The trip will be in March. Please email me at potawatomipreacher@gmail.com and we can tell you how you can contribute to sending Leah to another "country which may be named later." We'll hear more about it heaven one day! Her fire and passion for missions is a blessing to us. Thanks and God bless!

Report From The Rez

I am presently helping a struggling church on the Chippewa reservation up in Northern Wisconsin. These folks are a sweet bunch of Native American saints. My prayer is that I'll be able to do a small part to encourage them to keep on keeping on for the Lord Jesus Christ. Here are some photos of the people and the surrounding area.

Seated next to a real prayer "warrior" for the Lord Jesus Christ!

Buddy and Ed, good and faithful men in the church

Beautiful Wisconsin lake

Great fall colors
