An Awesome December . .
.
December was probably the busiest month we
had last year. It started off with a great turnout for our
church Christmas party. Over 50 people dropped by that evening,
including many of our unsaved friends and neighbors. That same
evening Val’s FANTASTIX drama team performed in front of a crowd
of hundreds at the local community’s Carols by Candlelight
festivities. We pray that the message in song was well received
by those who saw and heard the performance.
Valerie also helped teach two more
Scripture classes to over 250 young children in the local public
school. What a wonderful blessing to be able to share the true
meaning of Christmas with these precious kids.
The FANTASTIX performed once again at the school’s Christmas
assembly and Dwayne was asked to open in prayer. We are so very
thankful for the opportunity to be involved in the local school
in so many different capacities.
On the 13th of December Dennis Cole of Dramatic Christian
Ministries was the guest speaker at our church. He did a
powerful dramatic Gospel presentation. Over 40 people attended
our service that evening including several first time guests.
We wrapped up all of our events with a very special Christmas
Candlelight and Communion service on the 20th of December. 40
people were also in attendance that day as well with some return
visitors. It was a very moving and special celebration of the
birth of our Savior. Now things have slowed down here with the
Australian summer holidays upon us. Most Aussies travel out of
town so our attendance has been down. However, we are staying
very busy with the visit of Dwayne’s brother, Lee, and his wife
Toni and their son Gafton. They are getting a taste of what the
ministry is like here and enjoying their time Down Under. They
are enjoying seeing the kangaroos behind the house and all the
sights in Australia. Please pray for travelling mercies as they
make the long journey back home on the 15th.
Prayer Request
Please continue to pray for Valerie’s sister-in-law,
Lisa Eaker, back in North Carolina. She had a tumor removed near
her brain. She is still awaiting results to find out if the
tumor was cancerous. The surgery went well and she is back home
resting now. Also pray for Valerie’s brother, Allen, as he takes
care of their young children and runs his electrical business.
