In response to all he has done for us,

let us outdo each other in being helpfuland kind to each other

and in doing good.

~Hebrews 10:24 (TLB)~

David Allen got a release to go back to work.  Thank God for his return to better health. Pray he gets better and better.

Mrs. Ann Chapman had her halo removed yesterday.  She still wears some of the other “equipment”, but will get her next halo in heaven.  Thank God for her progress.

Mr. Cete Dillon is doing better.  If all goes well today, he may come home today or tomorrow.  Keep him in your prayers.

Pray for Robby Lynn C. Kirby.  She’s been having health issues again.

Update on Malaysia Garner..remember she was born October 1 and weighed 1# after losing some ounces in the first few days and now tops the scales at 3# 6oz. The Lord surely has His hand on Malaysia and the medical staff in Jackson who care for her 24 hours a day. Many medical problems still prevail. We know God performs miracles far beyond our understanding. Bryan and Donisha THANK everyone for prayers that have been sent up for their precious little baby girl. Please continue praying and believing in the days ahead as Malaysia faces her struggle each day.

U.S. Veteran William Charles Langston, Sr., 50 years old, was born December 11, 1958 and passed away sometime in the early morning hours on December 1, 2009. As my father’s daughter, I know that if he had the chance, these are the words he would say in parting: To my darling wife of 24 years, Lydia Ockman Langston, you are the love of my life. You made me the man I am today, a man I hope you were proud to call your husband and the father of our children. To my son, William Charles Langston, Jr., you have made me prouder than you will ever know. No father could ask for a better son. Give Heather Bentivegna Langston, my daughter-in-law, a kiss and always treat her right. To my daughter, Evangeline Alanna Langston, Daddy’s Baby Girl, I have not abandoned you. Just wave when you pass over a bridge and know I’m waving back. To my step-daughter, Melanie Howell Foreman, her husband, Tommy Foreman, and my four grandchildren, Layla, Morgan, Elizabeth and Johnny, I’m watching over you. To all of my family: I know you’ll cry. I know you’re sad, but I’m Home now with my Maker and Protector. I love you and will miss you. One day, I’ll welcome you Home, too.

Who's Missing? Whose Mission?
Vietnamese of Cambodia

Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, is dotted with numerous floating villages occupied by much of Cambodia’s Vietnamese population. Because so many Vietnamese are fishermen and find it difficult to gain land rights in Cambodia, they prefer to live on the water in tight-knit communities. They take care of each other — from sharing generated electrical power to caring for one another’s children.

Most residents in the floating village of Kbal Taol had never heard the name of Jesus — but that changed in March 2008. A Christian worker named David* visited the villagers to tell them about the One who is a fisher of men. During one of David’s many visits a Vietnamese man named Tim* became especially interested, so David gave him a Bible. On one of David’s subsequent visits, Tim invited David to his home for dinner.

After dinner, the talk turned to spiritual things. Tim had begun reading the Bible David gave him and had many questions. Around 3 a.m., Tim accepted Christ.

“That is the longest visitation I’ve ever had,” David said with a smile.

Tim is the first believer in Kbal Taol. By God’s grace, he will not be the last.

Pray
Pray that other Vietnamese in Kbal Taol and surrounding villages will be open to the Gospel and will put their faith in Jesus Christ.

J. EDGAR HOOVER ran the FBI, no question about it…
As a result, almost all of his subordinates were on the lookout for ways to impress their powerful boss. A young FBI man was put in charge of the FBI’s supply department. In an effort to cut some costs and impress his boss, he reduced the size of the office memo paper. One of the new memo sheets soon ended up on Hoover’s desk. Hoover took one look at it, determined he didn’t like the size of the margins on the paper, and quickly scribbled on the memo, “Watch the borders!”

The memo was passed on through the office. For the next six weeks, it was extremely difficult to enter the United States by road from either Mexico or Canada. The FBI was watching the borders. Why was the FBI watching the borders? They thought they had received a warning from their chief. But they hadn’t. They had transformed an innocuous comment into a solemn warning.  Steve Farrar

“Therefore each of you must put off falsehood
and speak truthfully to his neighbor;
for we are members of one body.”
Ephesians 4:25 NIV
