Don't Speak News

First I want to thank everyone who contributed prayers and financial support to our last emergency fundraiser. As of this morning I’m happy to report that thanks to God’s grace and PROVISION, we are all caught up on our household bills! Thanks again to everyone who participated! We have a very tight knit community here and its something I’ve grown to really appreciate.

Thanks also to all of you who prayed for my grandson Christian and his grandmother Retha as my son in law Brian passed away last week. Christian is autistic so this is hard for him to understand fully but he is aware that his dad is gone. My heart breaks for him.

But through all of the trials and tribulations God has provided and He will continue to provide for those who truly love Him and pursue Him like hidden treasure like it says in Proverbs 2: 4-5 if you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God. Of course Proverbs is speaking of wisdom but who do we get our wisdom from? God of course.

I was also reminded of Matthew 7:7 this morning as I was thanking the Lord for His provision. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. We need to keep seeking, knocking and asking! If there is one thing that the month of October 2025 taught me it’s that we have to press into God and lean on Him more than ever, we can’t stand during these times on our own strength!

Last but not least I was reminded to ask with pure motives as it’s stated in James 4:3. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. Everything we raised funds for was for needs, not wants or pleasures. This is important to remember as we won’t have the extras we used to have anymore as the days get darker and more evil. We will have to rely on God for everything now as the Israelites did in the wilderness and we must also remember to not complain as they did! See Numbers 11 for more on that story.

As for my wife Lisa and I we are in prayer and awaiting further instructions. I have a feeling God may move us soon so how long we will be here in this place is in question. As long as God wills it I guess. In the meantime I will continue my watchman duties here while I await further instruction. I have been told to be ready so that is what we will be.

Thank you all once again for all of your prayers and support! Stand firm in the faith and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might! Blessings to you all.
