Dear brethren in Christ;
“Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in
spirit is better than the proud in spirit.” ECCLESIASTES 7:8
During this Holiday
Season, we tend to reflect on coming to the “end” of another year (2007), of
which we had many blessings and challenges.
Blessings, in the
salvation of five precious souls; Chris, Rosario (and his wife), Ben and Donita.
These all made professions of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and with the
exception of Rosario (who passed away this year), they all need to grow in the
Word of God. Please pray for them.
There are also blessings
to know that our daughters, their husbands and our growing seven grandchildren
are being faithful in service to the Lord. It is a blessing to see my mother and
my mother-in-law growing in the knowledge of our Saviour. Overall, what a
blessing it is for me to have my dear wife Janet helping me and being so
dedicated in serving our Lord and Saviour in the different aspects of our
ministry.
There will also be
challenges in the ministry, as changes will be taking place this coming year,
2008. We need your prayers as we continue to reach the Spanish speaking
community in the city of Denver and surrounding areas.
Another challenge and
prayer concern I will face this coming year is my health situation. Thanks to
our Lord and the yearly checkup, the doctors found a stomach aorta aneurysm that
will need to be checked on every six months. If it grows to a dangerous size, I
will need to have it operated on. We know our Lord is in complete control of the
situation and I rest in Him, but I do covet your prayers.
We are looking forward to
the “beginning” of another year filled with God’s blessings and challenges in
the work the Lord has called us to. We also look forward to “fruit that may
abound to your account.”
Philippians 4:17b
We know you will also
have your share of blessings and challenges in this coming New Year 2008.
Therefore, be assured that our prayers will be with you.
Thank You for holding us
up before our Lord in prayer and in your continual, faithful financial support!
IN CHRISTIAN LOVE,
Eddie and Janet Urey
Thank you for your continued, sacrificial giving and prayers!
