All Systems Go (Almost)

I'm going! By the time offices reopen after the turn of the new year, I will be in another country! Praise the Lord.

There is much to be done between now and then. Packing, gathering visa documents, saying goodbye (again)... Please be in prayer about this whirlwind of details!

There is still a financial need of about $300 per month. Though the shortfall is being managed right now, ultimately it affects the longevity of my ministry and so is not a workable option for more than a couple of years. As you are figuring out your budget for the new year, if you feel that you could help meet this need and would like to contribute to this work, please let me know or visit the EFCA Giving page at www.efca.org/giving.

An update on my sister: Kelley is headed to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston Dec. 10 to consult with specialists there and begin aggressive preventive treatment. The rationale is that the type of cancer my sister had removed tends to lurk in the body and reappear. The treatment is intended to kill any cancer cells that may be hibernating. Please pray for her continued recovery from the two surgeries and her strength through the coming treatments. (She and Mom should be home from Houston in time for Christmas.)
