Hey friends,

Wow, God blessed this month in significant ways. Through your prayers and giving through Alignment Ministries, we are sending $8,000 to a church in Queretaro, Mexico. You are making a difference. 

You are also giving to Thomas Alute in Kenya. He is one of the best men I have ever known. He carries a back-breaking load, having stepped in for missionary Randy Stirewalt who is now in heaven. I am excited that you and I get the chance to help there. 

Last of all, you are helping a missionary widow with a small amount each month, plus a new Spanish church plant and church planting missionaries in Peru. We are trying to add new projects as the Lord provides the money. Thanks for the help.

Betty and I will travel to Peru in just a few days and be there for about three weeks. Then next month we will spend a couple of weeks in South Africa. 

I am excited to be working on the book “The Forgiven Forgive.” God has worked extensively in my heart as I studied, prayed, and wrote. Five of a probable twelve chapters are in the rough draft already. 

I just returned from a writer’s conference where I went to learn more about writing. The classes I am taking and the critique group have been helping. 

I became a John Maxwell certified speaker and coach also this past month. I am still trying to learn new things. I want God to use my life as much as possible.

Thank you all very much for praying for us. Thank you to those that give so sacrificially to see the work of God go ahead.
