October - December 2009

"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
Galatians 2:20

Since our last letter we have been in seven States and 17 different Churches. Mike has preached a total of 69 times. Praise the Lord for the full schedule He has provided us with. From July to Sept. we were in six new churches and still have a couple of new churches on the schedule be-fore the end of the year. The Lord has been opening doors for us to minister.

Since recovering from heart surgery last Dec 5th, even though we were home for four months of the year, we still managed to hold 20 revival meetings, 3 missions confer-ences, 1 teen revival, 35 one-day meetings, 1 camp meeting, the annual C.O.M.E. conference, and Mike preached 208 times. We did not realize we have been so busy.

We've seen a number of folks saved since this spring. In one Church three people that were questioning their salvation, after hearing the word preached, realized they had not been saved, and put their trust in Christ. We rejoice over those who trusted Christ as Saviour. Praise the Lord.

Merry Christmas

And may God bless you with a wonderful New Year.

We are now in Florida, looking forward to Christmas. Some would say, "what kind of Christmas is it without snow," I would say, "a warm one."

Our oldest daughter, Richelle and her husband Mark Alber just had their fourth baby. A little girl, Natalia Faith, 20 inches, 7lbs, 13oz, 12/17/09.
