Our new church plant is still planned for April 2009. We have met with Dr. Earl Jessup of Baptist Church Planting
Ministries and several Illinois pastors who are interested in helping plant this church. They are getting
behind us on this project. We are marching forward with church planting . Please pray for us that God would
bind Satan’s hands in this matter.
We really need prayer concerning the right meeting place. We are considering several sights.
Our 1988 Ford van has much body work that needs to be done. If anyone knows somebody that does body
repair and will donate the time please let us know.
Everyone seems to be doing fine. Mike, Jr. is still short of funds for school and dropped out
of sports this fall to work extra hours to meet those bills. Sarah is preparing for deputation as
a missionary candidate to Panama with World Wide New Testament Baptist Missions. The MEPS ministry
is under attack by radical left wing groups all over America. We are still serving there on an on
call basis.
I now am responsible as the chaplain for a much larger new and improved squadron of over 8,900
square miles of recruiting personnel. This triples my Air Force ministry coverage area. I trained
with the 347th this fall. See picture below with our new CO.
Please pray for our new church needs. They are many. Contact us for a list if interested.
We have been having some great meetings this fall and winter. We were pretty booked up through
the first week in December and will become busy again in February and March of 2009. I have left a
number of winter weeks open to deal with medical concerns and the church plant project.
I was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer in early stages. I had another biopsy done and now
await a proper mode of treatment under active surveillance. We are not allowing this to stop us but
dealing with it and going on with the new church near Great Lakes. There is much work to be done.
I continue to meet the needs of the Army Recruiting Battalion on an on call basis. This basically means
they call me when they need a chaplain. day or night.
