Dear Pastor and Brethren:
Mission Activity
Sis. Kim Williams was away traveling to both New York and Virginia, missing three of the five Sundays in November. We are sure happy to have her back in the services again. On the sixteenth of November we had a visitor named Mark. He came in late, stayed for the rest of the service and has not returned since. Sis. Connie Gaches and Sis. Elaine Maginnis missed the entire month due to sickness and old age. We certainly do miss them. Otherwise, we had good services finishing the preaching on the doctrine of sin and beginning a new series of messages on, “God’s Covenant of Mercy with Man.”
Latino Outreach
We were in contact with at least nine Latinos this month through the court system. As Spanish names are difficult to pronounce, I will not write all their names here. Please remember us in prayer as we deal with these men and occasionally a woman. We often receive phone calls, including some from Mexico, from the relatives of some of these people, who want to know about their incarcerated loved one.
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was a pleasant time for Roxanne and me even though we didn’t get to be with our family members. When the time came to get together for Thanksgiving, three or four of our family members were sick with some kind of viral infection. Therefore, Roxanne and I spent the day together with special food that we picked up on the Wednesday evening before Thanksgiving. Then we called family members to wish them a happy Thanksgiving. Additionally, we sent out Thanksgiving cards to about sixty friends and family located in places all over the United States of America. That reminded us of the fact that Thanksgiving is not celebrated in most of the other parts of the world, because most nations are not “Christian” nations. There are many today that would like to change America into a pagan nation, but we give our gratitude to the Lord for our founding fathers that were oriented toward God and founded this nation on Godly principles. We thank each one of you for all you stand for biblically and for the support of us in the Lord’s work.
By His grace and in loving gratitude,
Tim & Roxanne Parrow
II Tim. 1:7
