We have been enjoying good services with the church here in Cobbitty this month and are thankful for each member and their dedication to the Lord.  We continue to pray about their need for a pastor.  As this comes to your mind, we appreciate your prayers also, and for the furtherance of the gospel and the Lord’s work in this area.

I was able to communicate with Bro. Norman Malu in Port Moresby this month.  He informed me that all was well with the church and brethren there.  He did relay some sad news concerning Bro. Norman Yupi and his wife Alice who are both members of the church in Port Moresby.  He said that while they were in the Highlands visiting with family, a thunderstorm arose and a bolt of lightning hit and killed Sis. Alice’s father and brother and one other man.  I don’t know all of the details, but Bro. Norman told me that neither Bro. Yupi nor his wife were injured.  Their family as well as the church in Port Moresby are in mourning for the ones who passed away so suddenly.

We were also saddened, as well as gladdened, at the recent home-going of our former pastor, Bro. Roger Jones.  We pray that the Lord’s comfort and grace will uphold and sustain Sis. Brenda and his family and loved ones, as he will be greatly missed.  It was our privilege to be under his ministry for a season, for which we thank the Lord.

With the Thanksgiving holiday coming up in the USA, Cyd and I are reflecting upon the Lord’s many mercies to us each day.  We remain thankful to Him for the privilege to serve Him on the mission field and for the many prayers, the faithful support, and the love of so many towards the furtherance of His work.

Thank you all for your continued prayers, love, encouragement, and support for the Lord’s work in Australia and Papua New Guinea.

    Love in Christ,
