March 2008
Thank you so much for your faithful prayers. We appreciate you so much, and pray for you daily. Please feel free to share any prayer needs with us, we love to go to the throne of grace on your behalf, as you do so often for us!
February is Missions Month here in Jamaica. The first 2 Sundays I preached on the first missionaries to bring the gospel to this country, a fascinating story of God’s grace and love; how He uses men to spread His word! The third Sunday we had a young man from America who is working as a pilot here in Jamaica. He and his wife have just surrendered to go to Africa where he will be a missionary pilot! What a thrill for us to see God continue to call people to serve Him with their talents and abilities. The final Sunday was a blessing because we were able to hear how God has used Don & Phylis Sidebottom in Ethiopia for half a century! The Sidebottom’s were an extra blessing and encouragement to us personally, just sharing with us the things that God brought them through in their many years of service to Him.
March brings many special opportunities for ministry. Please pray for our Good Friday services. Culturally, Good Friday services are better attended than Easter Sunday. We will be having breakfast and an early service in Trench Town, followed by the traditional “bun and cheese” treat. We have seen so few trust Christ as Saviour the last few months, and would really like to reap a bountiful harvest during this season of celebrating Christ’s death and resurrection. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will convict hearts.
We are praising the Lord; on April 19 we will welcome a new member to our family. Our daughter Jade will marry Garis Park at Friendship Baptist Church in Owasso, Oklahoma. We are thankful to God for allowing us the opportunity to make a short trip home to America to be there on this special day. Please pray for this young couple as they begin their lives together serving our Saviour!
