Our aim is

ever

before u s.

We

want to f i l l

the

skies with t he g lo ri ou s news of

th e

s av in g g rac e of Jesus. We want the righteousness

of

His

finished

work

to pour down

upon th e ear t h wherever t may, tha t f a i t h come a l i v e an d produce salvation.

We

want

all men

everywhere to

hear o f Jesu s

including

our next door neighbors as

well

as

those in

th e

farthes t corners o f

the

world

we ve

y et to

meet.

May

righteousness

abound

the

world over as Jesus is ex alte d to His

rig h tfu l

place. May He allow us

a p a r t in building up His kingdom.

This holiday season finds us busy in t r a v e l ; in

f a c t

we are on the road r i g h t now.

We are

getting

to

share

with many

o f

yo u

about

our

desire

an d plans to work with

HCJ3

Radio.

Our

goal

ha s

been

to

leave

by

January

1 s t

fo r

language

school.

This

we

will do i f our

funds are

together. The Lord ha s

disciplined

us

through

HCJB s

requirement

that

a ll

o f

our monthly pledges be

in

o r d e r

before

we l e a v e so

tha t

this

w ill

not

be a burden to us on

the f ie ld

We

pr es ent l y

see

committments

reaching

53 . More

than anything

we want the Lord s will and

timing

in the matter. Pray

with

us that we may remain s e n s i t i v e to His le a d in g .

The

Lord

is giving us everything we need to follow Him -

th e

encouragement

th e

perserverance. Hi s peace

an d

contentment

tha t

we are

where

we need to be

r i g h t

now.

He ha s touched us with Hi s joy an d o ur hear t s

Hi s p r a i s e .

We

would

pray

t h a t

His Spir i t

could rest

with

yo u this h ol id ay s ea so n that

He may be

seen as everything

We

love

you.
