, We have much to be thankful for!
Dear Pastor,
Greetings in the Lord!
We are celebrating a Miracle, but with every victory there is a season of challenge. The facility we have
recently been given is a HUGE MIRACLE, but we also have several challenges:
HVAC - needs to be replaced - $30,000
LEAKING ROOF- costs of repairs $ 22,000.00
REPLACEFACIA BOARDS AND DECKING
REPAIR PARSONAGE
PAINT
ELECTRICALWORK
As I write this letter I am wearing my winter coat. We have had several days of 20 degree weather, and
there is NO HEAT in much of the facility, also parts of the ceiling are damaged due to strong rain storms
and a roof that has leaked for several years.
We know we have a lot of work ahead of us, not only reaching the ethnic community around us, but also
making the needed repairs so that the complete facility can be used by several ethnic groups.
Would you pray about two things? Would you pray about sending a special offering to my missions
account to help with repairs? Heating a building might not feel like giving to Missions, but to an
African, a Korean, a Muslim, a Hindu .....it's definitely MISSIONS, and they are coming to us.
Second, would you pray about coming to help with repairs, or bringing an evangelism team to help us
take the Gospel and the love of Jesus to the multi ethnic community around this church?
In my 30 plus years as an Assembly of God missionary, this is one of the most exciting projects I have
ever begun. Come be a part of taking the Gospel to the people of 62 nations right here in America.
Your Missionary,

Happy Thanksgiving ...--;:::::=::::=:;::;;;;;::::::::;;:::::::::==:::~====~il--------
We have much to be thankful for!
A year ago this month I had a meeting with alocal Assembly of God pastor who had a largeamount of his facility he wasn't using. Foryears I had been dreaming of a way to reachthe people of 62 nations that lived inHuntsville, AL. The Pastor told me that thechurch was for sale, the area had becomevery ethnic and they wanted to move toanother neighborhood. I started to pray!Today I write you from the office of thatfacility; it didn't sell, God worked a miracle,and because of the generosity of theAlabama District, the facility is now ours. Aninternational church is being birthed and wehave a small group of English speakingpeople, a large group of Marshallese, aKorean Pastor, and our African Pastor willarrive in a few weeks, followed by a Hispanicpastor, and with time Chinese, Vietnamese,Asian Indian, and Muslim; all major ethnicgroups in this city. Recently during one ofour friendship meals I had a Hindu lady fromIndia, a Muslim lady from Palestine, aCambodian, a Korean all at the same table.MISSIONS!!

Due to age and a lack of maintenance the facilityneeds some TLC. We need church groups with funds
that can do the following; (MISSIONS WITHOUT A
PASSPORT)
• Paint (inside and out)
• Carpentry• Replace Fascia Boards and Decking
• Clean• Experienced Electrician
• Lay Tile• General Repairs
By Apri! 2015 we will need Evangelism Teams to helpus reach out to the ethnic community living around
the church.
