Dear Friends and Family,

We are thankful to the Lord for each of you who have been such a blessing and help to us.  We thank the Lord upon every remembrance of you!  Philippians 1:3.

Everything is going well for us at the present.  We are thankful for good health and strength for a very busy ministry here!  Jeffrey and David are doing well, too. Tim has applied for a job in Washington, D.C., and we are praying he will get it.  It would be for a Republican Congressman from PA.  Thank you for praying for Sarah, David and Kayla Battles as well. 

News from the mission field:

Ankle, a Tobo tribal believer in Papua New Guinea, has been praying for his wife, Nara, and telling her about Jesus every day.  This past Tuesday evening she trusted Christ.

He was so excited and wanted to tell the NTM missionary, Jason, that Nara was a believer. Ankle said, "If I had died and gone to heaven, and my wife didn't, it would not have been right. She needs to go too. Now Jesus has saved her and she is going to Heaven too, and I am so happy."

Ankle continues to witness to all of his family. His father Yaka is sick. Ankle has tried to tell Yaka the Gospel message over and over again.  Please pray for the unsaved members of Ankle’s family as well as for his unsaved Tobo neighbors.

Linda’s parents are doing well, and especially her Mom since her stroke last summer.  Lord willing, we hope to go up North during the month of May, and be with them for a couple of weeks and help wherever we can.
