November-December 2016

1Thessalonians 5:24-25 “Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it. Brethren, pray for us.”

Dear Praying Friends,

Thanksgiving! What can we be thankful for? There are so many God-given things, people, events and pleasures all around us. Do we actually think about these things and thank God for them? This year let’s take the time to think about them and count our many blessings, giving God the glory for each and every one!

We are so thankful to God that we were able to be in Florida for Penny’s mom and dad’s 60th anniversary and to be able to see all three of our boys and their families! We usually don’t get to see them more than one time a year so getting to see all of them together with mom and dad was a privilege We also celebrated our youngest grandchild’s first birthday. It was a blessing to be a part of that celebration.

Joe’s school bus driving job has been going very well and he’s not hurting so much like he was when he was working at the meat shop. His heart test result was great. There are no blockages and his cardiologist was happy with the results!

The Wild Game Dinner went well. We had 34 people attending and we thank all those who were able to help and those who were praying. We were able to put over $2000 into our mailbox postage fund. The calendars are selling great and that money is also going toward mailbox postage.

Since we will not be going to see the kids this Christmas, we sent our passports away in order to renew them. Pray that the renewal process is quick with no complications.

We will be singing at the women’s prison with Gospel Echoes Prison Ministry once again this year, on December 5th. Thank you again for your prayers for our family and our ministry!

 

Serving God in Canada,

Joe & Penny
