  June, 2025   But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ . 1 Corinthians 15:57   Dear Praying Friends,      We praise the Lord for His faithfulness and for the daily victories He gives through Christ. Each day belongs to Him, and we recognize His goodness to us.           We are touched by the interest of many in the ongoing battle with Gary’s psoriatic arthritis. The end of May, Gary returned to his rheumatologist after the extensive exam via ultrasound of every joint. His rheumatologist was surprised that he was walking and moving after seeing his sonogram.

She also stated that because of the vast amount of inflammation, we must stay with the regimen to keep the inflammation in check. At present that means no sugars, no gluten and no red meat.

  Dear Praying Friends,      Welcome to a day in the life of your missionary. We had a hard storm last night, Tuesday , (as usual) but we discovered this morning we had no gas. The electric power had been off, so the water pump was not running. Before 10:00 AM the power went off again, so we are without gas, water or electricity. That's just the way it goes!      We had a wonderful day on Sunday with the return of folks who had not come in a long while. Towards the end of our fellowship time, a thirteen-year-old young lady approached our daughter and said, "I want to be baptized." Our daughter had doubts that she had been saved, so she sent her to me (Gary). My first question was about her salvation. She did not know to what I was referring. I suggested that we take the first step before we talk about baptism. As soon as we sat down with the Word of God, our daughter brought me a second thirteen-year-old young lady who was also confused...
