Dear Friend,

“Ye also helping together by prayer for us…” 2 Corinthians 1:11, KJV.

As we look ahead to an exciting new year, I wanted to reach out to you for prayer. Susan and I are thankful for the way that you have stood with us in the past and helped us to see much fruit.

Mission to Benin
Exciting news! I will be traveling to Benin, West Africa Feb. 12-26., for evangelism with Michael Lusk of Lusk World Outreach. We will be holding an Evangelists Conference, training and encouraging national evangelists to reach their nation for the Lord. We also will be holding a 4-day open-air healing and salvation festival, preaching the Gospel in Lalo, Benin. Benin is the least evangelized non-Muslim nation in Africa.  I’ll give some more detail in our next newsletter, but for now please pray that the Lord will prepare us for this mission and every need will be abundantly met.

Mankato Believers School of Ministry
We will be holding a 12-week Believers School of Ministry here in Mankato beginning Jan. 11. People are already registering for the classes and there is great excitement. Our Believers School is proving to be a powerful tool for igniting Christians to reach others for Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will hand-pick the students and that the Lord will light a fire in many people in our city.

For Us
Please pray for Susan and me and our family. Pray for our health, well-being, peace of mind, and every natural and spiritual provision. We are so thankful for your prayers!

Still excited about Jesus!
