LIVING WORD INTERNATIONAL UPDATE INFORMATION 

 

WELCOME TO THE NEW YEAR:

As we enter into the New Year, let us delight ourselves in the Lord and commit our lives to Him.  The Psalmist made these the two goals in his life.  "Delight thyself also in the Lord, and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.  Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass" (Psalm 37:4-5).

 

2026 MAJOR FOCUS

With the three devastating typhoons in the Philippines last year, we will make this our major focus.  The needs are always great in these rising countries, but the needs are even greater with natural catastrophes.  

One church was completely destroyed, and three others were damaged.  Many people also are trying to recover from their losses.  We will continue to support the national pastors and reach out with a helping hand as the Lord provides.  Any gift given for this humanitarian need will go one hundred per cent to this project.

 

2025 RECAP AND THANK YOU

Again, the Lord met our needs through your faithful prayers and support.  We thank God for our prayer and financial partners.  Without you, this ministry is impossible.  

Your gifts made it possible to support national pastors, meet humanitarian needs, provide ministry in Sharjah, and help with medical bills of pastors.  Thank you for caring and sharing!

 

LOOKING AHEAD

It is always our deep desire to do the will of God, both with Living Word International and our personal lives.  With the times growing shorter and shorter before the return of our Lord, it is imperative that we keep our focus on the Lord and His plan.  Sometimes, we may have to wait patiently for His leading, but He will always give us His answers.  

We are still praying about His special calling for us and asking Him direction in regard to a mission trip this year.  Right now, with our focus on the special needs in the Philippines, this may be the best direction.  However, we will not make this decision until we are certain of His desire.  

There are so many needs all over the world.  It is imperative that we are always sensitive to those needs and reach out to our brothers and sisters in Christ.  God has greater things in store than we can even imagine.  Faith in Him is the key; then, we need to put it in action.  

 

BRIEF FAMILY UPDATE

Thanksgiving was an enjoyable time with Kimber and family members.  Sonny and Kaley were unable to be with us, but the Lord showered us with His special blessings.

Recently, Kimber, our daughter, went to the Emergency Room and had a gall bladder operation.  She is doing well in her recovery.  

Christmas was a very quiet time for us as we had no plans to visit family.  We certainly miss the family gatherings during the holidays.  

Lord willing, we will be going to Maine in the future to visit brothers, sisters, and their siblings.  It has been many years since we have been back to our roots.  It will be so good to see our loved ones again.  

Brandon, our grandson, is the highlight of our family news this time.  He received his bars and became a Captain in the National Guard.
