Hello! Hello! Hello! All I
can say is that “My God is Worthy to be Served!” Now after 2 years and four
major surgeries, I am walking like I have never walked in my life. The second and third surgeries were to
correct the position of my right foot and to repair the tendon that had torn. The first and last surgeries were total knee
replacements. The manner in which the surgeons replaced the knees corrected the
deformity that I had since birth, and now my feet are straight in stead of
being turned inward. Hallelujah!! When I
left the States 10 years ago after a bad
car accident, the doctors then said that I would always be in pain. I decided then that if I would be in pain
that I might as well be in pain serving God in the Amazon reaching people who
had little to no chance of hearing the gospel.
Pain at home is the same as pain abroad. BUT GOD... God said that He would that none should
perish. When we focus our lives on what
He wants He provides for ALL of our needs according to His riches in Glory in
Christ Jesus. I am celebrating 10 years of serving God in the Amazon region
of Colombia, Peru, and Brazil!!!
Because of His loving care for me, I will be able to continue to serve
Him with better health than when I came.
“By His stripes we were healed!” “I will rejoice in You and be glad!”
I celebrate each and
everyone of you who receive my news letters!! You could have blocked me, but you chose to read them. Many of you have prayed and kept watch over
what God was doing here in the Amazon.
Many of you not only prayed but have sent your finances with those
prayers. You have sown seed and the harvest that we have reaped together has
eternal blessings. And then, there are those of you who have come to Leticia,
Amazonas Colombia to visit with me and to encourage me in the work that God has
placed before us. I could not have done these 10 years without you! You
have been my team and it is because of your diligence that many who would not
have heard the Gospel message now have the opportunity to also serve our God.
Thank you!!
