January-February 2018 Newsletter and Extra from Joshua


A) Bless the LORD for Marcus in Georgia--praise God he not only received a tract, but he asked for 3 more as he turned around behind the restaurant counter to give to them to his co-workers! Pray for Cameron, a Walmart supervisor in North Carolina, who knows the Lord, but isn't attending church because he is discouraged and needs God to deliver him from sin.  
       
B) God did keep us safe on the roads. During our time in North Carolina we missed a Weds service because the roads were near impassable. Also, in Pennsylvania, we couldn't pull out of a church parking lot because we were going uphill in a van with summer tires! God blessed and we were able to put some rocks on the incline and get out before it snowed some more the following morning. Hallelujah.

C) Bless the LORD for allowing us to attend our 100th church on 25 January 2018! 

D) Praise God for the opportunity to buy a newer vehicle at a reduced cost. God introduced me to a pastor in Alabama that has been doing this kind of thing for missionaries and churches for years. He explained that we can buy a wrecked vehicle from an insurance agency and get it rebuilt at a significant discount. He personally knows the key players in this process and all of them are willing to help. We’ll see how the Lord leads in this area. Thank the Lord for this door of opportunity.

E) Well it happened..both vans were in repair at the same time. God is good. One had a radiator that needed replacing and the other needed a new tire and condenser. God worked it out. Parts came in on time and the repairs were done before we had to drive to the next state—so we didn’t miss any meetings. God also gave us a great deal on the radiator! Hallelujah, we had the van towed to a church we were staying at and God provided a Christian expert mechanic (now retired) who did the work for us the very next day and didn’t charge us anything for labor (and we got a discount on the parts). God is good. 

Thanks,
  Joshua
