Giving Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are a few things we are thankful for this year:

Our beautiful granddaughter Mychael was born in January.  Finally, a girl born into the family!  We are thankful for her and for our three grandsons, three sons and three daughters-in-law.

We thank the Lord for his presence and comfort when Mike's dad passed away in February.  There is nothing better than knowing that this life is not all there is and that the God who loves us is with us every moment, now and forever.

We thank God for healing Mike of shingles.  The two months he dealt with them were not easy, but God is faithful and our health is good.

We thank God for the 14 people who graduated from First Level INSTE in the spring.  And we thank him for the 50 students who are currently studying.  We are grateful to the Lord for the translation team who have finished translating five Level Two books and are working on three more.  God is good.

Thank God for all the generous people and churches who give so that we can help expand the Kingdom of God here in Hungary.  Don't forget, you are all partners with us and will share in the rewards!

We thank the Lord for the many people who pray consistently for us.  It is through your prayers that God has enabled us to accomplish what has been done.  And, God is constantly answering your prayers for wisdom, protection and provision.

We thank God for an effective Leadership Conference in September.  We thank Karl and Dyrie Francis for coming and thank God for their powerful ministry.

And we thank the Father for food, clothes, a nice home, a car, electricity, internet and gas. Nothing makes a person appreciate something like going without it for a while.  Thank you, Lord, for gas!  Without it, the house would be cold and there would be no wonderful aroma of Thanksgiving pies wafting from the kitchen.

But we especially thank God for loving us so much that he sent his own son Jesus to take the penalty of death for our rebellion.  Without God's love and power, we would be hopeless and helpless in this world.  Thank you, Father!
