Dear Friends, Brethren and Family
Travels
The end of September we were able to spend a couple of days at the Harding
University Lectureships. It was good to be on campus, see old friends and hear
some good talks. We had a reunion of some of the friends with whom we went to
Sunset School of Preaching (1971-1973) at Jim & Nell Stamatis' house in
Searcy.

After Mission's Sunday in Joplin at our sponsoring congregation on Oct 3rd,
Kathy and I embarked on a three week trip through Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee,
Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma. We met with individuals, congregations
and various mission groups and we able to present our work and needs. We were
also able to spend a few days with Chris, Terasa and the kids in Coker Alabama.
We have had a very positive reception for The Bible School
in Fiji but the funds are still not coming. We still have just over $4500 raised
to date.
We really need $30,000 to take back to do the initial ground clearing, garden planting and building of at least some housing, classroom and administration space.

Medical
I had my prostate biopsy done at the VA in Fayetteville last Tuesday
(Oct 2th) and the results should come back soon. I have one more consultation
at the VA about a cyst I have on November 2nd.
Kathy has an appointment to have some of her moles checked and a scheduled
colonoscopy (with two different doctors).
Return to Fiji
We have booked our return flight to Fiji for November 30th. This allows
us to celebrate Thanksgiving with the family. That will get us back into Fiji
December 2nd the start of their summer. It is already getting too cold for us
here! This also allows us more time to talk with congregations and people about
our needs and hopefully to secure support for the building of the school property.
We Still need your help
We really need your help setting up appointments to talk with congregations
and people who can help us with the plan of building the Bible training school
in Fiji and for additional personal support ($600 p/month) that we are trying
to secure.
If any of you can help with one time help financially it would
be appreciated.
Thank you so much for all of you who are supporting us, have contributed to our needs and have extended hospitality by allowing us to stay with you while we are travelling through. God bless you!
Your seed sowing workers in the Kingdom.
