Hello Silan!
What a blessing!! It is so good to here from you. My church has continued
to pray for your safety and your family's salvation. I am glad that you are
safe.
America is hard to live in. There is so much freedom that we forget all
good things come from Him. The church here is like a spoiled child wanting
more and more and not willing to suffer. There is alot of giving of money to ministeries in the thirdworld countries but not enough of working with the
poor and needy of our own country. I believe there is so much sorcery
here in America that even Christians are deceived. I pray always for
the fear of God to be on my family.
My sixth grandchild will be born in the early summer. I truly enjoy being a grandmother. I think of your mother and pray for her that she will become
thankful one day to have such a brave and committed daughter.
My son came home for Christmas and I was able to have my husband, my
daughters and husbands, my son, and my grandchildren in my home all at
one time.
God is telling me one thing above all lately. To look for ways to be
thankful. It is the greatest weapon against our enemy. He hates
the praises of God's people. Pray for my family, Silan, that they will
all hear God's voice and have the courage to obey.
Thank you very much for writing to me. I would love to hear news
of your work and your travels. Please write again when you can.
All my love,
Mary
My family has it's problems but they are all believers so I am thankful.
