The Reitenbach Family to Greenfield, Massachusetts
Happy New Year! 2020 ended on an undesirable note as my grandfather passed away on December 26th. I was so glad that I had just spoken to him by phone the day before. Elisabeth’s grandmother passed away in early November, as well. We are so thankful that all of our grandparents have provided us with wonderful memories and a Christian example, and we are thankful for those who remain.
God is working in people’s lives, with one lady we’ve been trying to help out of her emotional and spiritual captivity getting closer to a breakthrough. A couple visited our church for the first time on Christmas Eve and have been attending each week since then. They have a regard for God and the Bible, but I don’t know if they are truly born again. Please pray for that to be made clear and for God to open their eyes if they need to be saved.
Last month, I asked you to pray that my wife and I would be able to prioritize and be productive in all of the things we have going on in life. Perhaps this was God’s unusual way of answering, but a person tested positive for coronavirus in our church around the same time that we experienced sickness in our household that strongly resembled COVID-19 symptoms. Because of the rules set forth by the state and the credit union I now work for full-time, I have to be off work until I am considered to be in the clear. As I type this (Jan. 18), Elisabeth’s test result was negative today; but I will be off of work until I find out my test result. As much as I don’t like these kinds of disruptions to normal life, it does give me an opportunity to get some things done and seek more of God’s will for this new year.
The lease on our church’s storefront meeting place ends at the end of January which is scheduled to include an increase in the rent. Please pray for God’s continued provision of rent money or another meeting place. He has provided wonderfully until now, and we know He can do more! Thank you for your prayers and support!
In Christ,
