It was January 14, 2023, that our family began meetings again. We are currently in the state of Ohio without our trailer in case we encounter bad weather. The churches all had a place for us to stay, allowing us to keep the trailer at home. As I write this, we are entering a winter storm warning for this part of the country and I am grateful to not have to worry with freezing hoses and iced-in slides.
God is once again allowing us to see people saved as we travel, and there is nothing more important than that. Our children are doing well, two of them in college and two of them with us on the road.
Our son Daniel broke his wrist this past Sunday night in a youth activity. His left arm is in a splint that will be on there for two weeks after which time he has to go to the doctor again. I am proud of him in that he gave his all during the game. Sure, he ran into the gym wall and broke his wrist, but at least he wasn't a wimp sitting in the corner.
We have one more church to serve in Ohio before we head back home to Mississippi.
There is a great burden on my heart that I wish to leave with you today. It concerns the need for laborers in God's service. It seems that on a regular basis, I hear of more churches in need of pastors. Right now, there are two particularly on my mind, and I could probably think of more if I thought hard enough. All over the United States, to say nothing of the foreign fields around the world, there is a great need for laborers in God's work. From soul-winners to Sunday school teachers to pastors to evangelists, the need is great. Would you pray for two things with me? First, ask God to call and send forth laborers into His harvest. Second, ask God what you can do to be a laborer for Him. Each of us has a job that needs to be done.
Our travels are supposed to take us as far as Canada and California in the course of this year. Would you please pray for souls, servants, and safety? That is the need of the hour.
