Dear Friends and Supporters,

It’s been awhile since our last formal newsletter. We have been staying very busy. In the last 17 days we have conducted 47 services in nursing centers, senior centers and retirement communities. That is just a sample of our daily schedule. We have also conducted several revival meetings along the way. We have been traveling 7 ½ years non-stop now. We have officiated in over 5,750 meetings, met over 600,000 senior citizens while traveling in 22 different states. In this span of time we have traveled just short of one million miles in the service of the Lord. We want to take a moment to thank all those who have partnered with us in this ministry. It takes all of us working together. I thank God, especially, for our mutual vision and burden for such an important work as this. There are some who support this ministry on a monthly basis and what a blessing to be able to count on that support. Just as important are the folks who schedule us for regular services as those love gifts are necessary for our daily expenses. There are also those who share a gift now and then, which always seems to come at just the right time. All are important in getting the job done. In these years since the senior citizen ministry began, we have not asked for one dollar. All the financial help has come unsolicited and we know our Heavenly Father has put us together. I just wish you could be there in person when we are in service at these senior citizen facilities. What an expression of joy and excitement among our senior friends. The appreciation as well, is worth just about anything that would hope to discourage us.

If you have the opportunity to attend one of the services while we are traveling in your area, please, I challenge you to attend. It is no t your typical nursing home experience. You will be amazed and inspired at their response. In the past several months, I know personally that times have been tough and many are feeling the pinch. But something needs to be said for those who have trusted God in difficult times to continue supporting such an important work. We look forward to seeing you in the near future as we come to a nursing home near you.
