Dear Friends:

Two wonderful things!

First, the people have been saving and praying to reach the goal of $40,000 by next February in order to make a start on their new building. While I was on furlough they have raised $20,000! That is not including the specials that many of you have given toward the building! It was with great rejoicing of heart that we all praised the Lord for showing us what He could accomplish with a handful of people who are willing to give! Please continue to pray as we work toward the goal and make preparations to be ready to break ground in February 2009!

Second, on February 10th the church commissioned Bro Ian Hutchings to go to the area of Huntington in Cannock to start the Hope Baptist Church. Bro Hutchings had been taking care of Temple while I was on furlough and the Lord opened doors and brought people interested in starting a new work! What a blessing. This is the third work to start out of Temple! God is truly amazing!

Please pray for this new work. They have about 20 people right now and are using rented accommodation. Pray God would give them a building of their own. Bro. Barry Dunmire is working alongside Bro Hutchings.

One of the men was praying on Wednesday and thanked God that even though we are a small church He is able to make us large by planting new works! It really blesses my heart to see that these people understand missions and are excited to see God working!

Your Servant in England,
