Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The month of December is a very special time for my family and for the Elizabeth City Baptist Church. My wife and I celebrated our fifth Wedding Anniversary on the 23rd and our church celebrated our 1-year Anniversary on the 19th!!
It is incredible to look back at everything that the Lord has done in just one year! The souls saved, the converts baptized, the lives that have been changed and the birth and growth of a local New Testament church.
We did a Christmas caroling activity this month that was well attended as we sang house to house throughout our neighborhood praising the Lord! We saw many souls saved this month and 3 men baptized! We have one new family with 2 children that have been coming 3 services a week- praise God! Our Anniversary Service was a blast with lunch after morning service and then a 2:00 afternoon service.
We look forward to seeing more miracles in 2022 as we press on with the work of the Lord! Thank you so much for your faithful prayers and financial support that make all of this possible!

I have titled December “the month of faith.” Not that we don’t live by faith the rest of the year, but, for the most part, churches have Christmas activities and family time making it challenging for missionaries to book meetings over the holiday season.
We held a few meetings during the earlier part of the month in the state of Florida. One church in particular was a tremendous blessing. For the first hour, the Sunday school teacher expounded on the Theology of the Holy Ghost, and it turned out to be such a blessing. I was given the opportunity to present and preach during the second hour and the Holy Spirit was also among us; so much so that after I finished preaching, the Pastor felt led by the Holy Spirit to take us on and to support God’s work in Southeast Alaska.
We spent the holidays with our family and with church members. Not being so much out of state, we spent more time soul winning and were able to see three people saved. Carlos and Krystal were two of them; they accompanied us to church and were saved after the service. The other lady was saved, but she did not come to church. One more blessing was that a lady we had been working with for over a year ago to come to church, finally joined us after we visited her this past December. Since then, she has been faithful to most services; we do kindly ask that you please pray for her as she has health problems, and one of her requests is that her son would come to know God.
We are excited for this new year; we understand that it holds many blessings as well as trials. Nevertheless, God will be with us every step of the way. Thank you for your love and support; it is appreciated beyond your imagination.
We wish you a Happy New Year.
