IN THIS MINISTRY UPDATE:
In the News
November events began with an Open House. We thought it would be nice to open our home to allow people to tour the new studio, meet the staff, learn more about E4F, and enjoy some fellowship and refreshments. It was a huge success! Over 30 people came through, some of them were not familiar with our ministry. We’re talking about making it an annual occurrence. The next thing on the schedule was an all-day event at Community Church in West Bend. It started with a luncheon for the Young Hearts group and included a lesson on encouraging working together. After the lunch, they sponsored a session for homeschool families that featured evidence for the story of Jonah and the big fish as well as a lesson on oysters and how pearls are formed. Each family then had the opportunity to dissect an oyster and discover the pearl inside. It ran very smoothly, even with 130+ in attendance. It was nicely covered by a reporter from the Washington County Insider. Check it out. The following weekend I spent at Expeditions Unlimited in Baraboo for a Walnut Hill Bible Church youth retreat. I challenged the students to examine their faith and commitment to determine whether they really “believed”. On the 19th, I spoke on the Pharaoh of the Exodus at Living Stones Fellowship in Stevens Point. This course has been recorded and will be published soon. I finished the month at Fort Wilderness for three days, teaching the students enrolled in the TruNorth program. The topics included Calvinism vs Armenianism, How We Got the Bible, and Why There are so Many Translations. There are only six students this year but every one of them has a desire to learn new things. They asked lots of good questions.
Prayer Warriors Needed!
There are a couple of things that we need you prayer warriors to commit to prayer. The first one is my neck. I have had two neck fusion surgeries in the past: the first one in 1997 and the most recent one in 2019. I have been living with herniated discs for years, but they have flared up and are causing some extreme pain and numbness in my arm. I had an x-ray which medically shows I need surgery. But, from the spiritual side, I would like to request prayer for healing. Whichever way it turns out, pray that God will be glorified. The second request is for a new vehicle for travelling. The van we have been using was in for some recent repairs and it was discovered that it is rusting out and won’t last much longer. We would like to pray that someone would be moved to donate a vehicle for us to use for the ministry. We believe that our God can do more than we can ever imagine!

Keep Us in Your Prayers
Please continue to pray for us as we bring the Truth to this broken world:
- Praise God for speaking opportunities to encourage and strengthen people’s faith.
- Pray that Charlotte will be productive with her time, and someone will step forward to help her.
- Pray for new opportunities. Maybe you know someone who would be interested in booking an event.
- Pray for more funding and end-of-year giving to help us reach our monthly goal of $12,500 to cover salaries and operating expenses! We currently are at 70%. Please consider partnering with us.
- Pray for Michael’s neck and that God would be glorified.
Thank you for your prayers! Enjoy your loved ones this holiday season!
“I bring you good news of great joy…. a Savior has been born to you!”
Have a blessed Christmas!!
