Dear Faithful Supporters:

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,” II Peter 1:2. Your kindness and generosity toward us is greatly appreciated, and we must apologize for not writing sooner, not that we haven’t been busy. We have been busy trying to build a house.

We started building last January with a construction loan and contractors. About three
months ago we began to run short on funds. While we still had enough funds to pay subs who were in the middle of their jobs, we dismissed everyone else, and began doing the work ourselves. Quite a feat for two seniors. We did reduce expenses considerably, but the work slowed.

We are inching closer to the finish line, and watching every penny. We were able to buy materials on a couple of no-interest loans for 18 and 12 months respectively. Family members have helped with the building when not working, and Scripture Truth Baptist Church, Pastor Carrol Parker, has installed the electrical. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has participated.

We are about 80% finished with the project. We lack plumbing, flooring, tile work, shower doors, and exterior painting. We will be setting up an office/studio for our radio ministry and online development once we get moved into the house.

We began some things with Media Lifeline before getting engulfed in the work on the house, and Brother Cody Stinson has been gracious enough to work with us on the cost factor until we can get back to fully working on online ministry development. Since the early days of our ministry we have worked with church groups to help missionaries with building projects. Most of the funds we raised over the years has been for other ministries, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. The Lord has been very good to Rebecca and me. We’re not materially wealthy, but we are extremely blessed. Our vision for the evangelization of seafarers is still the same, and we are praying that the Lord will continue to use us in our latter years, even more than in the former.

God bless you and yours is our prayer.
