Dear Prayer Partners, Colossians 2:7b “abounding therein with thanksgiving.” ‘We are very thankfil to the Lord for everything that He hha done for usin 2019, and we ae very excited sbout ‘hat the Lord is going to do in 2020! We serve a wonderful God, and I want to take just « minute to thank Fim for what He has done in just the lat ‘month of 2019; 1) We have seen three more people trust Christ a5, {hci Saviour! One of them was what we would call a “drug body" in Pidgin. His name is Tery, and he used to be best fiends with Silva, the preacher of our church, But in 2015 Silus was bor again, and hs life completely ‘changed. This quickly ended the friendship as Silua wanted to follow Christ, and Terry still wanted to «do drugs 24/7. How exciting it was to see him trust (Chris as his Saviour the week before Christmas! His wife was bom again on the same day that Terry was, Praise the Lord! Anotber man named Belden trusted Crist as his Saviour as wel. All of them are showing evidence ofthe new birth in Christ Jesus, and all ofthis ise direct result of your prayers for tas and for the dear ‘people bere! 2) Four of us ‘men from the chureb were able to go on a 2 day reaching tek to The very back, e Personal Contact: "6520 Skyline Drive * Milton, Fl 32570 850-490-8597 border of Kadsup,( the people group that we are working with), ‘We walked almost 200 kilometers as we preached in many villages that had never heard the Gospel of Jesus (Christ before! Many of them had never even seen a ‘white person; which resulted in me getting my feet washed, and a bunch of other embarrassing things aswell) 3) We have soen very consistent growth in the lives ofthe believers who have been bom agin in the last 3-5 months, and we will be baptizing them in February, Lord willing. +4) We are also seeing God open doors in other villages ‘round us for church planting opportunities, We are still going to Yofi and many other villages around us, but just last week some of the men of the church went to 2 village celled Ka-Pori, and reached the gospel their for the first time, Ka- Pri is about three hours away ffom ws, but they are very open tothe gospel! When the Christians from our church went and preached there, the people came to them afterwards and told them that they must come back ‘nd start a church in Ka-Por! They told us that they ‘would be willing to give us land, wood to build a hutch with, and anything else we needed to help us get esablshed! This village had never heard the true gospel as wel! (its amazing how much fase gospel is around, and how litle of the true gospel is being preached now days!) Lastly, we wanted to saya huge thank you to everyone for {Your many generous gifts during Christmas time! They are very ‘much appreciated and willbe used wisely to help the ministry go forward here in PNG!
