We praise the Lord for a great ending to 2014 and look forward to seeing what God will do in 2015. After three months on the road to end 2014 that took us through Maine, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, Oregon, Oklahoma, and North Carolina we were able to spend one last Thanksgiving and Christmas in our home here. It is sort of sad to think about it as our last, as we have had many wonderful memories here, but we are excited about the future of many holidays in Oregon. While we were here we were able to present our ministry in a few churches in the area. We are certainly thankful for that.

As we ended 2014 many exciting things transpired. We were approached by a man who is interested in buying our home in North Carolina. He is willing to pay our asking price and the process is moving forward. Pray that this continues to move forward and goes through. While in Oregon we were able to look at some areas for us to move to, pray that God will provide a home for us. We also had the opportunity to look at some places as possible meeting places for Pioneer Baptist Church. Pray that God directs us to the right place. More than anything, we praise the Lord for the souls that were saved during our ministry this year. We know of three for certain, and many others accepted Christ and made life changing decisions during our last summer at Living Water Christian Camp.

As we start the New Year it is exciting to hear about many of these churches we visited to end 2014 have begun to take us on for support in 2015. Through this entire process the Lord has shown Himself faithful, providing for every need, and has blessed us with many other gifts. 2015 has started with a bang! Edwin and Gabe were able to go to the National Church Planting and Home Missions Conference at Heartland Baptist Bible College. Edwin had the opportunity to present our ministry. During that time the major need he presented was the cost of a cross-country move. Praise the Lord we were able to raise around $8000 in one time offerings to meet this enormous need. Praise the Lord! On top of that we have been able to schedule a few meetings with Pastors we met during this meeting.

In the next few weeks we start our final major push on deputation before our move to Oregon. We will be in South Carolina, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Edwin will have the opportunity to preach and present our ministry at the Church Planting Summit at Faith Baptist Church, Monee, Illinois in March. Pray that we will meet our financial goal before we leave for Oregon in the spring.

Thank you again for your prayers and partnership, we certainly appreciate all you do!
