Dear Friends, Yesterday afternoon, between disruptions, I finally had my update letter all typed up. When I left my office for dinner, I clicked on “save to draft”. Later, when I came back to complete it, it was gone—not in any folders anywhere. Well, as you can imagine I was more than a little frustrated. Finally, the Lord AGAIN reminded me of, actually, how insignificant that is compared to what so many are facing today in our communities, our...

Dear Friends, This is just a short letter to let you know of the changes/additions in needs for the Ukraine refugees.

Dear Friends, I have had several phone calls, emails, and text messages asking what we can do to help he refugees coming from Ukraine into Poland, Moldova, and Romania. According to different reports, there have been 1-1 ½ million refugees so far.

Anytime I see these things, no matter where they are happening, I have always thought, “But for the grace of God, that could be me/us.” We surely need to keep these people in our prayers, and also to help them as the...

Matthew 25:37-40– 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
