Friday

So then, my friends,

because of God’s great mercy to us

I appeal to you:

Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God,

dedicated to his service and pleasing to him.

This is the true worship that you should offer.

~Romans 12:1-2 (TEV)~



John Schaffner is the pastor of Roseland Baptist Church and the BMC director at SLU. His wife’s sister, Roaryn (?) Beck recently had a baby that was born two months premature. Please pray for the mother and the baby as they deal with medical issues. This family is in southwest Louisiana.


Don Denton

Today was a busy day in that Don had appointment in Springfield with ENT so he could get referral to doctor in Kansas City. That went well for Don and he was encouraged. Thank you so much to Larry Hodges for taking Don to Springfield and back. It was most helpful to us.

And we are most grateful to Dr. Nutt for coming to our home to fit Don’s glasses. He came by on his lunch hour yesterday to help so that Don would not have to go into the office. We are blessed and we give thanks.

Don has another test tomorrow in Springfield. He has a MRA. This is to look at the dissection in the Carotid Artery. Our hope is that the hole is closed up and that he will no longer have to be on a blood thinner.

I can’t seem to catch up on feeling rested. Please pray that I will get the rest that I need. I am still so tired these days.

We continue to pray for healing with the dizziness and are in hopes of relief for Don.

Bless you our family and friends

Floyd and Freida Angeletti

Thank you for praying for Floyd’s surgery. Below is Freda’s note she wrote last night but sent out today. Please continue to pray for Floyd as he recovers and as they prepare to return to the US in April.

From yesterday:

I am writing this at the hospital and will be spending the night here, but it will be tomorrow before I can send it. Floyd’s surgery went well but the surgeon had to do more than he had anticipated. He is comfortable and not having too much pain yet. We thank you for praying with us and covet your continued prayers for rapid healing.

We will be returning to Bucharest as soon as the doctor says it is okay for Floyd to travel. Then we will only have a few weeks to finalize ministry, office transformation, selling what we can and packing. With my back problems and Floyd’s soreness, we will be a pair.

We praise God for His loving mercy, for listening to our petitions, giving us assurances of His presence and His unfathomable love.

Again, thank you for your sustaining love and prayers.

Love, Joy and Blessings,

Floyd and Freda

“At the name of Jesus every knee should bow…” (Philippians 2:10).
Mike Benson, Editor
WHY DOES A person enter military service…?
Some want to travel and see the world. Others are thrill seekers who find the adventure (and danger) exhilarating. Quite a few choose a career in the service for financial rewards (college tuition, home loans, medical coverage and early retirement).
Then there are the patriots: farmers, teachers, factory workers and businessmen who are not career soldiers, yet these honorable citizens can be counted on in a time of crisis. These are men and women who serve their country out of loyalty rather than personal gain. They enlist, not because they love a good fight, but because they believe in defending what is right! They are peacemakers, not pleasure seekers or profiteers.
Similarly, God’s patriots are people with high spiritual aims. They are ordinary Christians who are reluctant to fight yet prepared to stand and be counted for truth when duty demands it. To the contrary, false teachers are motivated by things like notoriety, paychecks, selfish agendas or the intoxicating smell of battle. (Aubrey Johnson)
“Woe to them!
For they have gone in the way of Cain,
have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit,
and perished in the rebellion of Korah.”
~Jude 11~
