Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hello everyone, We wanted to take this time and wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Since my last post, we have visited many churches and have been spending a lot of time also taking care of Family.
I promise to update soon. (I know I said that last time)

We just have some special prayer requests at this time.
John's Brother, Richard Thiem in Tucson, Az. He needs a Double Lung Transplant and is in very serious condition. We have spent over 3 weeks there in the past few months. Richard was put on a ventilator and then a Tracheotomy was done. He is now breathing with the Tracheotomy and Oxygen. Please pray for this situation, that the Lord's will be done. As you know from our past, we have been this route before and It is very hard to stand by your family member and feel helpless. That's where we seek strength from our Lord and Savior.

My Uncle, Buster Yarbrough in Visalia, Ca has been hospitalized in very serious condition. I ask you pray for the Lords will there also.

We are currently in Midland, Texas where John has been able to work on the church here some and also the parsonage, while I help my Mother with some business here. Pray for my Mother who is now 80 and having health problems along with dealing with some serious business issues.

Thank you all for your Prayers, Love and Support this past year.
Watch for, in the next posting, pictures of John working on a Macedonian project in Seymour, Indiana where he spent 2 weeks. I'm waiting for pictures from that project to be sent to us, since I wasn't able to go and take the pictures.
Your Mission Builders, John and Esther
