Dear Praying Friends,
Thank you for your prayers and support. The Lord is using your faithfulness to reach our heroes with the Gospel of Christ.
If I have learned one thing from all of you, it is to hang in there, work hard and wait on the Lord to bless the work. Though in years past we have seen the Lord work miraculously, the year 2015 has been the most fruitful for our shared ministry. Along with you, we marvel at the answered prayers and continue to labor daily trusting the Lord.

We thank the Lord that you are in our lives. You hold a dear place in our hearts and in the Lord’s Army. We pray daily for the Lord to provide a vision of how He’s used your prayers and support to reach our heroes. You are our heroes and we cannot thank you enough.
