Latest Newsletter  -  To The Jew First Ministry

Romania in Aug. was as usual with preaching in churches and distribution of literature on the streets.  Br J. Alan Haggard ministered with me.  There was a 3 day conference with the Independent Baptist church of Hunedoara, RO. Deputation Sept.: Madison, FL, Valdosta, GA, Milton, FL, Northport, AL, AR, OK.  In Milton, FL I visited retired missionary Tim Judge.  He is blind.  While there I gave a tract to a Jew.  As he left, from his car he shouted, pray for me and my mother.   In OK I was with Pastor David Langley. I spoke in the church he pastors, Bethany Missionary Baptist Church.  He is in the process of printing my booklet on fasting.  BMBC will share in the finances for the book. I visited Sarah Page a single retired missionary to France.  She is now Sarah Freison!  She was on the team of TEAM that formed my church in France.  The Evangelical Alliance Mission.

   In TX I visited retired missionary to the Arabs Joan Davenport. She worked first in Sharja, UAE afterwards in JORDAN .  IN 1967 the area Valley of BERACAH became ISRAEL.  2 Chron 20:26.   She teaches a Sunday school class in a local Baptist church. Visiting CMC in Houston, I spoke in Central Baptist Church Sunday morning in their 2 Sunday morning services.  I was blessed to meet with CMC workers.  CMC is now servicing about 800 families.  A visit to the optician Dr Shaw gave a ray of hope for improvement in my left eye which is presently my bad eye.  After Houston I stayed in a State Park where I met a retired Catholic couple, David & Dora.  When his parents divorced in Fort Worth a local Baptist Church helped them with food and clothing.  Sharing the gospel in State Parks, in hotels and RV parks has been a blessing and encouragement.  In Odessa, TX I was blessed to be reunited with two supporting churches: Tabernacle B C and Northside B C.  Before going next to Plains, TX I stayed in Monahans State Park.  There were opportunities to talk to fellow campers. In Plains, TX I was  with Boyce & Cynthia Blair.  I spoke in Boyce’s Sunday School class about the Jewish people. The Blairs attend the First Baptist Church of Plains, TX.  I gave a testimony in Skyline B C in Lubbock, TX where Glenn Harlin used to pastor. Glenn is 89 and has trouble walking. Ronnie Bailey is the new pastor. I returned to Houston for laser treatment of my two eyes.  I cannot tell if the treatments helped.  Dr Shaw said macular degeneration has started in my right eye, but not in the left.

  On Oct. 7 Hamas attacked the kibbutzim and the City of Sderot which are near the border between Israel and Gaza.  Israel’s response is as expected.  Israel has been destroying infrastructure related to Hamas until Nov. 21.   Jehovah promised Abraham a great nation.  Jehovah will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel.  Genesis 12:1-3.  Israel is not to be divided.  Joel 3:2

Nov 4-5 I was with Edward Avery and Bluff Park Bible church in Birmingham, AL. They no longer meet regularly for services but are still supporting missionaries.  Nov 12 I was with Pastor Kevin & April Rogerson with Emmanuel Baptist in Abingdon, VA.  I then visited my sister’s grave at Camp Peary in Williamsburg, VA.  Sharon Lynn 1938-1944.  The camp authorities were very helpful.  I then headed back to Owasso, OK to be with David & Martha Langley and two of their granddaughters for THANKSGIVING.  1 Thess 5:18 “In everything give thanks…”.

   I will be with my brother & sister for Christmas in Jacksonville, FL.  In January I will visit supporters in FL.  February 6, 2024, I am scheduled to return to France.  Nov 23 was Thanksgiving Day!  I am thankful the LORD OF THE HARVEST enabled me to serve 52 years of missionary service.
