1. The text for this week’s devotion will be I Samuel 2. To prepare everyone for devotions, it might be a good idea to start with a song, testimonies, or prayer.
We have had many great meetings both in Michigan and in NY! As you know, we were in a difficult situation with the government shutdown and not able to close on our house. In spite of that, the LORD has worked all things for good on our first month of full-time deputation.
God has been so good to us, like always! Since our last letter, we have had many great meetings across the country, and several churches joining us in support. I trust that you and your church families had a wonderful Christmas season; I know we did! One meeting I remember in particular was in early January in Webster, MA. I had the privilege to preach on Sunday AM, and preached a message on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Praise God, we had one young man saved! How exciting to preach a message on the Gospel, and have someone understand and believe it!
It is with great joy that I am writing our first prayer letter for 2019 from the Jungles of Papua New Guinea! So much have happened since our last update. We have emptied our house, packed our lives into six fifty-pound suitcases, and traveled to the opposite side of the earth to have the blessing of seeing the field where God has called us to minister! What a privilege to finally call Papua New Guinea, home.
God has been so good to us this past month, and we're excited to share some of the things God is doing through us on your behalf. The second weekend of January was very exciting. It started on Friday morning with Hannah waking up after having a nightmare that the “Snake” (Satan) had gotten her and that she could not leave Hell. My wife and I went through the Gospel with her and told her that in Jesus she would never have to fear the “Snake” or Hell. We then prayed through the sinner's prayer with her, and she asked Jesus to save her. Praise the Lord!
