Trusting that mine will arrive tomorrow.- Praise the Lord - We will be able to travel to America for Christmas now that we have our visas- Praise the Lord - Val has completely healed from her shoulder surgery

Thank you for praying for the following with us: - Please pray that our church will remain in close fellowship while we are away in America 
- Pray also for Tim, who will be taking the Sunday mornings that I will be missing, that his message will be well-received and pertinent to their lives. - Pray that the Christmas dinner that we've been invited to join with the folks at Mooreland Close will bring us even closer to them.

- Pray that our time in America will be restful, rejuvenating and encouraging - Pray that the message I will be giving on Christmas eve at Calvary Chapel Norco will communicate the Lord's sacrificial love and missionary heart to those who hear it.- Pray that the Lord will give Tim clear direction of His will concerning him leaving for a position at the Bible College in Edinburgh, Scotland - Keep praying for the salvation of Leanda and Linsey from the women's study. (Linsey is close!)
