Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

As at February 28th, 2005, the total of the Piggy Banks contributions that have come in was U.S. $ 35,000.-. This is a great blessing although it falls far short of U.S. $150,000.- needed to pay off the cost of the condo. Unfortunately this amount falls far below our ability to perform the Piggy Banks drawing. Several churches sent small amounts and so did some individuals; one of them sent U.S. $ 6.-, one 12.-, and another 24.- while others made good contributions. Please accept our apologies as we are trying to pay off this condo first for the cause of the salvation of souls in Jerusalem if we want to be properly serving our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

The Lord has been very good to us ever since we began this Jerusalem Church Condo campaign in February of 2004. The cost of the condo that we bought was U.S.$150,000.- , purchase tax was U.S. $7,000.-, legal fees were U.S. $2,000.- , repairs on the condo were U.S.$4,000.- making a total of U.S. $163,000.- ; while the contributions in special Condo Specials from the various churches and individuals were U.S. $69,000.- , plus U.S. $35,000.- from the Piggy Banks, making a total of U.S. $104,000.- ; leaving a balance of U.S. $59,000.-.

We thank God for his blessing on this project from its inception until now. We are very happy with the progress made: U.S. $104,000.- in 13 months. But there U.S. $59,000.- that are making me lose my sleep. I, my wife, and my children are praying daily for this amount. Do you want to share in establishing an Independent Baptist Church in Jerusalem Israel? Then please help us pay off the U.S. $59,000.-.Please pray with us!

When we came back to Jerusalem last June to resume our ministry's fourth term on the field, we asked the Lord Jesus to give us 100 souls saved. Last term we won 50 and this term we wanted to win 100. So far as at Feb 28th, 2005 we have won 12 people to the Lord. Hallelujah!

We are now planning for a baptismal service in Beth Abra, in the Jordan river, where the Lord Jesus was baptized. This will take place in June when the waters warm up. We are excited about that, we are looking forward to that, and we need your prayers for this event. We are praying for a season of refreshing from the presence of the Lord. This is the most difficult aspect of the three aspects of the Great Commission of 1- Getting people saved, 2- Getting people baptized, and 3- Getting people indoctrinated in the Word .

Our services are doing very well. 4 Sundays ago we had 4 Jews at one time in our services and this coming up Sunday we are expecting a born again Jewish family that was saved and baptized in Hawaii and have just immigrated back to Jerusalem, Israel.

We thank God for you. We pray for you every day. We love you in the Lord Jesus Christ !
