Mary Jane is
finishing up the first semester of her second year studying public
relations and up to this point is receiving good grades. The other day
we went with her to talk to one of her English teachers. On our way out,
another professor stopped us, and said, “Mary Jane, are these your
parents?” When Mary Jane said yes, he replied, “I have been wanting to
meet you for some time and tell you your daughter is a very good student.”
That was thrilling to hear that. Whenever possible she expresses her
Christianity in her assignments. One of her professors asked her if she
was Christian because of the way she answered a question in her homework,
and when she said yes, he told her he was also a Christian.
We were happy our son,
Steve, could go to Expolit in Miami, the largest Christian communication
congress in Spanish. He represented our internet ministry and made many
new contacts so our ministry can be more effective.
Special Prayer Request Answered!

We would like to thank those of
you who responded to our recent Christmas appeal for funds and who sent in
a donation to help us buy the audio mixer. It is deeply appreciated.
Now, We are happy to say, that
the Lord provided the money to buy the audio mixer that we needed to
complete the digital change over. Although the full amount needed to get
it here did not come in, there was enough to purchase it. The Lord blessed
us and we were able to find a slightly used one, (used only four days at a
trade show) with full guarantee. The equipment is now in our office in
Silverdale waiting for the money needed to ship it and pay the customs. For
those who haven't yet, but would like to help us, there is still time. As
many of you know, we are a faith-based Christian organization and we
depend on friends like yourself to help us so we may continue to provide,
develop and prepare evangelistic tools aiding National leaders in the task
of reaching their nation for Christ.
One of my long time faithful friends and prayer partner from my college
days bought us a recording DVD machine, so now we can put our video tapes
on DVD. We are so thankful for how the Lord provides our needs.
Fearful?
As we read the newspapers or watch the daily news it seems one of the
major themes is fear. As I write this there is once again an orange
alert in the USA. Although we need to be cautious, the Word tells us in
Matthew 6:25, Do not worry about your life... and in verse 33 it says,
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things
will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about itself. As we put the Lord first, then we
don’t have to worry as we know He takes care of all our needs.
Thank you for being our partners and standing behind us in reaching the world for Christ.
In Christ,
Jim and Lina
