December 22, 2011 Dear Praying Friends, Greetings in the name of our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Today is supposedly the shortest day of the year and starting tomorrow they are supposed to get longer. I hope so. The days have seemed to have grown shorter, as well as the years. Time is definitely flying! I turned twenty-one “in the Lord” a few weeks ago and continue to marvel at His grace! We arrived home just before Thanksgiving, and really enjoyed spending the holiday with our children and grandchildren. Evay had moved to Maryland in August and was going to be sorely missed at our table this year, but decided to come home, not only for the holiday, but for good. That was a major answer to prayer. Thank you to all who pray for our family. I’ve stayed very busy preaching in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana these past several weeks. The Lord blessed the meetings and was merciful weather-wise during the many miles I drove going back and forth. Veteran missionary/evangelist Cliff Taylor, Sergio Gonzalez, and I preached our home church’s annual Evangelist Meeting last week. Brother Taylor and I welcome Brother Gonzalez into our ranks as evangelists sent out by Charity Baptist Church. I highly recommend both of these men for your sincere and prayerful consideration. Either would be a blessing and a help to your church. Bikin’ and Brotherhood: My Journey has become a reality at last! Thank you for all your prayers concerning this endeavor. It is available from WestBow Press, Amazon.com. Barnes and Nobles.com, and a variety of other bookselling websites. Bear in mind that it is a “secular” book about motorcycles and motorcycle clubs intended to appeal to the multitude attracted to those things. The purpose is to get the Gospel of Christ to a crowd that may never darken the door of a church until after they get saved, as was my case. Please pray the Lord will use it. Also, please pray for the January 14 taping of my testimony for “Unshackled.” It is scheduled to be broadcast May 6 through May 12,, 2012. Though it has been good to be home for a while, it is almost time to go again. Susan and I are due to pull out next week for a four and half month run that will take us to churches in Florida, Texas, Arizona, California, Nevada, and Tennessee. We are looking forward to the trip. It’s always exciting to return to these places and see what the Lord is doing. Please continue to pray for our safety, and for our equipment to hold up. Thank you for your prayers for Susan and I. We are healthy, and staying busy. Susan is doing more and more ladies meetings every year. Makes sense. She’s been in this fight for 34 years and she’s learned some things worthy of passing on. I am confident there is a grand reunion day scheduled for the near future, but should the Lord continue to tarry, we’ll see you up the road somewhere.
Even so come, Lord Jesus, Brother Dave Spurgeon II Cor 5:17 |
