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
