Hello Friends and fellow lovers of Africa,

I have been home from Zambia for 7 weeks and nothing has slowed down. Lou Ann and I have both been busy with ministry at the Potter's House with people using the house and cottage every week. We thank the Lord for this.

We spent time with family and friends in two separate funerals. Please pray for my close friend Wynn who lost his sister, and our son-in-law's family whose brother Tony Phelps died in an ATV accident. He has a wife and 22 month old son.

This past week Lou Ann and I traveled back to E.KY to visit friends and churches who have been supporting the work in Africa. It was great to see folks again and to share the joy of the work in Zambia.

Over the next few months plans will be made for my Spring trip to Zambia. Also the July Outreach to Livingstone, Zambia is in full swing. If you would like to be a part of this great opportunity please do not wait. We need 20 partners to join this outreach. Are you one of them?

As Lou Ann and I continue to "live by faith" we are continually reminded of the faithfulness of God and the His people. We are learning to "expect" instead of "fret" when needs arise. The Lord has shown Himself so very aware and faithful to our needs. We trust Him with thanksgiving.

BIBLES FOR BELIEVERS
Another Christian foundation has given Hope Builders International a $50,000 matching grant for Bibles. Here is your church, Sunday School class, bible study group, business and your opportunity to double the amount of your gift for Bibles to our brethren in Zambia. $10 becomes $20 and $100 becomes $200 because of this grant God has sent our way. Please participate if you can and encourage your church or group to do the same. What a great Christmas gift we can give our fellow Christians in Zambia.

365/20
Lou Ann and I have been blessed over the years to have wonderful supporting partners. We continue to trust the Lord to raise up the full number of 365 partners sharing $20 per month with us for the ministry of HIMAfrica. This base of support provides Lou Ann and me with our basic "living" expenses and the funds needed to "do" this ministry, the day to day working of this ministry. It will insure us of travel expense needed to be able to share the ministry with others. It also provides for the airfare needed to fly to Zambia several times a year. Thank you for considering us.


As Thanksgiving approaches may each of you be especially blessed this holiday season as you remember all that God has done for you in Christ Jesus His Son. May you enjoy your family and friends as you gather together to celebrate our blessings in Christ. And may you be moved to share with others this holiday season the blessings of the "blessed."
