The Warm & The Cold Side of Things

For the past week, Rebecca has been gone to sunny Florida, helping her mother pack up her belongings as the latter sells her home. For an older lady, she is good health and spirits, but she just can't live alone any longer, and has faced that fact. So she will live with family and friends the rest of her days. We are as much at peace about that idea as she is.

Meanwhile, the boys and I held the fort here in Ohio, where the weather has been mostly cold and somewhat snowy. ALL of us managed to catch colds during the week, but are slowly coming out the other side, health-wise.

The next major step we are anticipating is our upcoming trip to Tanzania, to scope out the land, meet the rest of our Pamoja Ministries Team, and get a better mind-picture of what our future ministry in Africa will consist of, Lord-willing. We need to get started soon, obtaining Passports for the boys, arranging our flights to and from "the dark continent", and continuing to raise all the finances we can, so that this will be an easy venture to make, not draining our existing Missions account at Elim Fellowship any more than necessary. It will be a very expensive venture, nonetheless, and FAR more so for our two Year stint overseas, when the Lord provides for our needs. It will be wondrous to see how He will accomplish it! All praise and honour to Him! ! !

For those of you who keep up to date with us, we thank you for your ongoing prayer support, and we ask especially that we might be obedient servants to go where He sends us to go, and do as He bids us to do. Should the Master lead you to respond financially, that would be a most welcome blessing. You can contact us through the Response post at our home site Blogsite (top, left corner).

A Blessed Christmas to you all, in celebration of the Lord Jesus' birth! DLM
