God enabled our family to be together this Christmas. We are thankful that our family can serve together in the local church. He has continued to bring new people to begin attending Grace Baptist Church. He has permitted the safe delivery of 2 of 3 babies due born. God allowed our neighbors and other invitees to attend church functions. He enabled for us to receive visits from former students who had stayed with us prior.

As we enter 2024 and many are facing sicknesses, we are reminded of God’s faithfulness to His servants. Wayne’s father passed away and while unexpected, he knew Jesus and was ready. We are thankful that God permitted him to go quickly. We also witnessed an 80 year old Korean pastor retire and saw how God provided another pastor to fill the need at a nearby church. This year we pray for God’s continued blessing, strength, wisdom and guidance. We also pray for the faithfulness of His servants.
