Each of these dear souls has known the Truth of being created New Creatures in JesusChrist! They have been taken from being users of all around them to being producers of good.

Carol and I have so very much for
which to be thankful. We have been
married now for 45 years. We have
traveled in our ministry to Thailand
and in much of the USA. Truly, we dobelieve that this work at the Mission is
the pinnacle of His mercies to us. The
lows are gut wrenching and the highs
are most exhilarating. But to know
that He is the One who blesses our fee-ble efforts is humbling and encourag-
ing. Thank you for making it possible.
In spite of these fiscally uncertain times
we rejoice in our Father of mercies as
He remains ever faithful. His tools of
blessings to us are dear ones just likeyou. Thank you for your prayers and
faithful financial gifts.
Let me remind you about spreading
the word about the Mission and our
needs. Ask your friends if they would
like to receive a sample of our News-
letter and we’ll happily send them just
one! If they would like to ask to be on
our mailing list, great. If not, theywon’t
Our eyes are all focused on December
1st to see what the providence of God is
regarding Wagner Hall. I cannot even
imagine a scenario different than the
one that has us receiving the grant.
Continue to pray for our folks as this is
a hard 7 weeks ahead. Pray for perse-
verance and for realistic thinking as
the memories that oftentimes appear
have developed great holes. What
does not appear is the misery and
heartache so often faced. May the
Lord reveal Himself as the One who is
always there as their Friend who is al-
ways faithful. Amen!p.
This is a great read by a wonderful writer in agreat magazine! We’ve used this with permis-sion. A gracious reminder for all of us.

We have the best tasting coffee in Josephine County!
Our Problem?
We need a distributor to find retail locations and to pro-vide follow-up for restocking. Our coffee comes in grounregular and decaffeinated as well as whole bean.
Our preference would be for a dedicated volunteer forwhom we could cover minimal expenses.
Right now this great coffee is being sold at the SecondChance Thrift Store, 6th & J, as well as at The Tool Box,1661 NE 6th St.
We must have someone who sees this as a ministry tohelp support the Mission. Are you interested? Please, callKeith at 541-476-0082 and we can sit down for a cup of coffee and talk.

Thank you for remembering others and blessing us in this wonderful wayThank you for remembering others and blessing us in this wonderful way
"Thus it was made unto me: `I loved you while you
were committing this sin. I loved you before, I loveyou still, and I will love you forever.' Yet I saw my sinmost barbarous and a filthy crime, and could not butconclude, with great shame and astonishment, that Ihad horribly abused the holy Son of God. Therefore Ifelt my heart greatly love and pity Him and my soulyearn for Him, because I saw He was still my friendand did reward me good for evil" (John Bunyan, GraceAbounding [Springdale, PA: Whitaker House, n.d.],
"Thus Paul's way of defendingGod's justice is to proclaimhis mercy.... because the basis
on which God deals savinglywith sinners is not justice butmercy.... If therefore anybodyis lost, the blame is theirs, butif anybody is saved, the creditis God's" (John R.W. Stott,Romans [Downers Grove, IL:InterVarsity Press, 1994], pp.268-270).
"It is far better to go to God with our sins than wiour righteousness, for God is merciful"
(Jonathan Edwards).
