“I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you,
always praying with joy for all of you in my every prayer,
because of your partnership in the gospel
from the first day until now.”
~Philippians 1:3-5~
From the mission field:
* Give thanks to God that the only Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift in Dhaka, Bangladesh, that contained a small pair of plastic sandals reached the person who needed them the most: a little girl undergoing surgery on her feet!
* Please pray for visas to be granted so that pastors from other countries who can speak their language can come to Canada and tell South Asian immigrants about Jesus.
* Praise the Lord that during the Christmas season, several thousand families in Vietnam heard the Gospel and a New Testament, a Gospel tract, and an evangelistic movie were placed in their hands.
* Please pray for a national couple who are part-time church planters in southern Thailand, as the evil one is using every advantage to keep them from the Lord’s work.

Please add my first cousin, Sharla, to your prayer list. She has Huntington’s Disease and has regressed since her mother, my aunt Naomi, passed away less than a month ago. She is in her early 50’s.

Weather
I’m sure yesterday was a long day for many people who stayed in all day, but it was the best way to avoid the traveling problems. Even though my thermometer says it is 26 degrees now, I know the forecast is for much warmer temperatures later today. I thank God I was able to “stay put” yesterday. Please pay attention to the forecast for more cold weather early next week.
Use the next couple of days to prepare for more cold weather. Help someone else to be better prepared this time.
