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

Tomorrow May 21st is my 27th Ordination anniversary! I was ordained by Dr. David A. Cavin at High Street Baptist Church on May 21, 1981. I thank God for these 27 years serving as a soldier in the army of the Lord Jesus!

Today May 20th I go on my 4th furlough; and like we mentioned earlier, that because of our children's' schooling and the heavy responsibilities of the ministry in Jerusalem, we will be doing a 3 month furlough this summer on the east coast and another 3 month furlough in the summer of 2009 on the west coast. This may not allow me to visit you for a regular church service, but I would still like to come by and have a meal with you and show you the ministry on DVD. I could mail you the DVD but I prefer to come by and see you and explain to you more details about the ministry and answer your questions. My assistant will be in charge of the ministry during our absence.

We have just completed our 4th term on the field and it has been a fruitful term as we have been able by the Grace of God to plant a new legitimate Independent Baptist church in Jerusalem, Israel. Plus two mission works in Lebanon. These are miracles!

Every year another miracle takes place; it is the Clergy visa that God has blessed us with that we have to renew every year. It is so hard to struggle to maintain our ministerial residence visa here in Israel. Pray for us, please.

"Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days " (Ezekiel 3:15). You were born and raised in a culture rich with the Christian heritage. To you it is common place to see all kinds of Reference Study Bibles. This is a blessing that the Middle East is not privileged with. If you put yourself in Ezekiel's shoes, you will see the need for the A.R.S.B. and the impact it will have! "The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it" (Psalm 68:11). Will you help publish it? Additional $ 1,300.00 came in the last 3 months. We still need $ 65,700.00. Please pray with us.
