Phil. 2:7--But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. 

Dear Friends,

As always, it is our prayer that all of you are doing well. The flu bug has really been hitting us here at Fairhaven, but hopefully we almost over it.

  I was in Romania again in October, and it was a blessing, as always, to see what God is doing through the ministry and the people that work in it. Sometimes, when I visit the kindergarten, the children will sing for me. As most of you know, they are taught English for an hour each day.  If you would like a real blessing, you should hear a room full of 4 or 5 yr olds singing praise songs in English with their Romanian accent!! I am sure that Jesus enjoys hearing them also. Most of the children come from non-Christian homes, and enough can’t be said of our teachers who do such a great job not only educating them but also teaching them the Word of God. There about 100 children in the kindergarten.

  I also had the privilege of  being at one of the Bible Club meetings which Benjamin has each Saturday with the street children. It was really a blessing to watch as they wanted to participate by either reading from the Bible or helping to lead singing. This is a very unique ministry and God has been blessing it.

  While there, we went to stake out some of the farmland we had purchased near the village of Zarand. We did this so that we could hire someone to go ahead and plow the ground before winter.  This area is very flat and this is where we will be raising most of our crops and vegetables. The beef, pork, and goats will be raised at the other farms  near the village of Vosaia.

  The farm at Vosaia is not only very rich for grazing, but also has pear, apple, plumb, and walnut trees on it. In the picture you can see  Fanna, who works in our kitchen, preparing the apples for winter. These will be a blessing in feeding so many each day.

  Also, as you can see, they are almost completed with the roof  on the clinic. We thank God for making this possible before bad weather arrives. Please continue to pray for completion of construction in the near future.

  We were recently given 40 tons  of cornmeal for Romania. One container, with 20 tons, was unloaded on Nov. 27^th. We are hoping the other container will  be arriving soon. Also, on Nov 2^nd, we shipped another container from here. Besides food, clothes, and medical supplies, we also had 2600 Christmas boxes for children, plus enough toys and other things to help about 300 other children to have something for Christmas. There were also about 400 bags and boxes for those in nursing homes. We want to thank all of you who had a part in working to provide all of these.

  We continue to praise God for His faithfulness and provisions as He makes it possible for us to serve others. There is no way we can express to you our appreciation for your prayers and support.

   On behalf of everyone here at Fairhaven, and our co-workers in Arad, Romania, we wish you a Merry Christmas and very blessed New Year.

                                                                                 In His Service,

                                                                   Johnny, Sissie, Jackie, and Kids
