The Lord is King!

The Lord is King! Let the earth rejoice! Let the farthest coastlands be glad....The heavens proclaim his righteousness; every nation sees His Glory...For You, O Lord, are supreme over all the earth; you are exalted for above all gods. Psalm 97:1,6,9 NLT

We are rejoicing today in the God we serve who was and is and is to come! We praise His name for the wonderous works He is doing and we witness His hand at work from nation to nation. Just this year 2013 we have seen His Glory as lives are being impacted not only for eternity but also in the here and now. We have witnessed first hand God at work from the reservations of Arizona to the reaches of Paraguay, Bolivia, Texas-Mexico Border, El Salvador and Honduras - just a few of the places that our partnership in ministry has allowed us to go.

We thank you each one of our faithful supporters and prayer partners - your investment in this ministry is transforming lives for His Glory!

We recently returned from a visit to Largo, Florida where we participated in the funeral of Marlene's father, Raymond Post. He was preceeded in death by one son , Roger, and is survived by his wife of 64 years, Mary Ellen as well as 7 children and many grand and great-grand children. Raymond went to be with his Lord and Savior on October 4. A beautiful memorial service was held in his honor and family and friends filled the chapel at Ranchero Village for a celebration of his life. After the memorial service, we traveled to the National Cemetery in Bushnell, FL where dad, a Navy Veteran, was laid to rest with a very nice Veteran's Service in his honor. We are so very thankful for the promises of our faith in the ressurected Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ - that we will see dad again
someday soon. Heaven is sweeter to both of us since know both of our dad's are enjoying heaven as their home. It is times like these that we appreciate the care of our friends and ministry partners and we thank so much for your cards, prayers, flowers and expressions of love toward us. It is times like these that we realize the importance of mission work as the scripture above says, that every nation sees His Glory. It is all for the Glory of our exalted God that we serve.

The remainder of 2013 has us traveling to speak in several churches - if by chance you are in the area we would love to see you at one of these services.
