Dear Wayne, Olya and co-workers,
Reading the above makes it perfectly clear that your hard work for the Lord is being richly blessed by Him!
We rejoice with you looking back at 2009 and what was achieved then.
We also find that your expectations for 2010 are realistic and trust that God will undertake for you.
We keep praying for His continued blessings on all your endeavours towards the extension of His Kingdom.
With our love and greetings,
Pieter and Diane.
I think it is truly amazing that you heard your call to God’s work in your country and even tho you have had lots of ups and downs over the years….You have certainly brought a town and it’s people together in unity of Our Lord.
You have been blessed with your two boys and now a beautiful daughter….your lives have been saved and the Government “TRY” but do not deter you from anything that you need to want, have, and do and you have received things from the blessings and love that you have sent out to everyone.
I will be 68 in March this year, tried to retire, but no!!!
I have too much energy, and love for my fellow people, but have not been able to do anything that you have done, Soooo
I am going back to work for either a few months, it could lead to 12 mths or even 2 years….If this is the case, then
God will then allow me to bless you and your family with small donations to help pay ever 1 thing that you need to take some pressure of your daily committments.
May our Lord keep that Plated Armour over all of you as he has always done, and that he will keep providing you and your congregation to even a fuller relationship with him.
Bless you all….Love Samantha Pilbeam
