(James 1:5) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Dear Praying Churches, Pastors, and Friends,

Thank you so much so all the prayer and support that we have received. It is good to be a part of a partnership to reach the Irish for Christ. It has been a busy twelve months with lots of highs and lows. It is a thrill and a high Privilege to be a Missionary family to my own people. It sure has been a busy twelve months and I am excited with joyful anticipation of what the Lord is going to do in the future. We have just started a New Year and I am looking forward to seeing many doors opened, and Souls saved in the New Year.

Christmas Update:

We have seen a lot of people that have come out to the Bible Study and some people are faithfully coming out each week. Christmas time was a great blessing. We tried to use this special time of the year to reach out to our neighbours and friends. We had a Special Christmas Bible Study and that went great. It was a time of singing Christmas Carols, as well as, a short devotion on the reason for this blessed time of year. And, afterward we had finger food, as well as, lots of sweet fellowship. It took a lot of work and organisation but it was so worth it. We had sent out many invitations to the surrounding area, so it was so good to see a full house for our labour.

We also have given out gift bags to virtually everyone we know, and this has been a great way to get to know our neighbours and to present them with a gospel tract; “born to die” within the gift bag. We handed them out to everyone we could possibly think of, including our girl’s school teachers, our refuge collectors, shopkeepers, doctors, and mail lady etc. It was a good reminder of how many people we see in a weekly and daily basis. Each one with an eternal Soul that is heading to an uncertain destination; without the realisation of who that baby was in the manger, they have no hope.

Deputation Progress: I am still working my way through bookings in the UK and in Europe. In January I will be in Scotland and in Northern Ireland. So, I am busy preparing for this, as well as some more bookings in England that I need to schedule in. I hope to focus this year in Building up the Bible Study as well as getting discipleships ongoing, and also, a continual scheduling of Churches for deputation purposes.

Please Pray…

My heart’s desire is to see the establishment of a Bible Believing Church in 2012. For this to happen there needs to be a continual faithfulness in the Wednesday Night Bible Study, as well as, more families to be reached and brought into the study. There is a building that is available for rent and it would be well suited for a Church setting. Please pray that God would give me wisdom and direction that this would be His perfect will for us at this time and juncture. I have prayed about this place, and I just need the Lord to say, in that still small voice, nay or yea, or possibly, wait for a time in the future.
