Carol’s father continues to improve from the hip replacement, and the resulting infections. He has to have some prostrate surgery today or tomorrow. Please continue to pray for his full recovery, and his peace with God.

I’ve been asked to speak in the Discipleship Training School here. Monday – Friday 9-1.
“Faith and Finances,” and “Worship as a lifestyle” are my topics. I would sure appreciate your prayers for this time. This is the realization of a dream that I had a few years back. I feel quite inadequate, and humbled by this opportunity. I have been preparing, and Heidi Baker gave me a prep strategy too. She says before she speaks she quite often lays on the floor and cries out, “Oh God, O God, O God….”

Just 3 weeks left in Myanmar, one in Chiang Mai Thailand, then home to San Francisco on the 29th. We will spend a few days with Carol’s family, a night in K-Falls, then back to Salem.

I gave some literature to some students of Carol’s yesterday. In it I included a note inviting them to explore the claims of Jesus. Borrowing from CS Lewis, I said:

” Many religions believe that Jesus was a great teacher, or maybe a prophet. He didn’t leave us that option. He claimed to be the son of God. The only Son of God, and the only way to truly know God. This is the most important question you will ever have to answer. “Who is Jesus?”

He is my Savior, my redeemer, healer, friend and God. He is the object of my worship, the purpose for my life.”

Thank you for your prayers for us, and for our new friends here.

Fred and Carol
