We truly appreciate your faithful prayers
and financial support. The Lord has been blessing us this year in
the ministry. God has given us wonderful meetings. We have been able
to see souls saved and many of God’s people surrender their lives
completely to Jesus Christ.
The meetings went well with Pastor John Roth at Fellowship Baptist
Church in Lodi, Wisconsin. God’s people responded well to the
preaching of His Word. We had a young man receive Christ as his
Saviour.
Our all-day Sunday meeting went well with Pastor Rod Anderson. God’s
people were blessed and encouraged by the preaching of His Word.
We had a great time as we worshiped the Lord together with Pastor
Ronald Gay at Grace Baptist Church in Evansville, Wisconsin.
We had a good Sunday morning service with Pastor Ray Anderson at
Lone Rock Baptist Church in New Lisbon, Wisconsin. God’s people
responded well to the Word of God.
Our Wednesday night meeting went well with Pastor Roger Siedschlag
at First Baptist Church in Horicon, Wisconsin. No one came forward
to receive Christ as his or her Saviour, but God’s people responded
well to the preaching of His Word.
Our week of meetings went well with Pastor Leo Mosier at Greendale
Baptist Church in Greendale, Wisconsin. During the week, we had one

responded well to the preaching of His Word.

Holmen Baptist Church in Holmen, Wisconsin.
The four days of meetings went well with Pastor Colson Leach at
Faith Baptist Church in Port Washington, Wisconsin. No one came
forward to receive the Lord as their Saviour. However, we had
several of God’s people make decisions to do right and live for
Christ.
It was a joy to challenge the students and staff from God’s Word
during the chapel services at Baptist College of Ministry. It is our
prayer that the college will be fruitful and that the Lord will
continue to work in the lives of His people as they labor for Him.
Our week of meetings went well with Pastor Paul Stephens at Victory
Baptist Church in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. We were encouraged by God’s
people.
Our week of meetings went very well with Pastor Richard Jensen at

Our week of meetings went well with Pastor John Henderson at Bunker

The five days of meetings went well with Pastor David White at

The four days of meetings went well with Pastor Jim Horton at
Trinity Baptist Church in West Terra Haute, Indiana. God’s people

people here. Praise the Lord!
Debbie and I want to thank everyone who prayed for us and made it
possible for us to travel to Chile, South America. God’s people
received us with much kindness.
Pastor Tom Robertson and his family were waiting for us at the
airport in Santiago. They live in Mariposas, which is a small rural
town four hours south of Santiago. We were three days in Santiago.
The groups were small, but we had one 11-year-old boy accept Christ
as his Saviour. Over all, everyone who attended was encouraged.
After the meetings in Santiago, we traveled to Mariposas. Pastor
Robertson’s goal in Mariposas was to have some adults attend the
meetings. The church is primarily made up of children and teenagers.
For an adult to take that step to attend while family and friends
watch is very difficult for the people in Mariposas. During the week
of meetings, we had two men and one couple visit. That was a big
step of faith for some of them, and the Pastor said it will now open
the door for many more to come. An unsaved neighbor came and asked
Pastor Robertson to go visit his unsaved sister who was dying of
cancer. Brother Tom and I went, and she accepted Christ just a
couple of days before she went into eternity. We were able to see
three people receive Jesus Christ as their Saviour.
We were able to help Pastor Robertson with some painting that needed
to be done inside the church in Mariposas. We were also able to
help them purchase a rack for the top of their van, as well as give
them some money to spend as they saw fit.
When Debbie and I got ready to leave Mariposas, the members of
Mission Baptist Independent Church gave me a Spanish Bible. It is
our desire to go back in two or three years for a couple of months
to have a much larger outreach to these folks. It is our hope to
learn some Spanish by then.
We had a wonderful time with Pastor Jim Parrish at Bible Baptist
Church on Sunday and Monday just before Thanksgiving. There I had
the privilege of preaching the Word of God to God’s people.
Christians made life-changing decisions.
Pastor Lee Eiss was encouraged at the results of our meetings at New
Testament Baptist Church in Monroe, North Carolina. One young boy
came forward to be saved, and God’s people responded well to all the
messages.
Pastor Dave Rogers was encouraged with the week of meetings held at
Cornerstone Baptist Church in Willmar, Minnesota. We believe that,
during the meetings, a good number of God’s people made some type of
decision to have a close walk with Jesus Christ.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
