    Dear Friends and Supporters:

    This is a very busy letter while I generally try to communicate with you monthly, this is a bi-monthly update.This helps us reduce the high cost of sending our mailing (between 50c and $1 per letter for printing, preparing andpostage depending on the number of pages). You will find 3 important items in this mailing. I always fearenclosing too much information will cause it to get lost in the shuffle -- Please take a few moments and reviewthese items:

    1. This January February update on the ministry.2. A 2015 preaching schedule with open dates3. A letter of introduction and recommendation for Bro. Jonathan Panther

    JANUARY FEBRUARY UPDATE:

    The New Year is now well underway. As always the first of the year is a busy time in the office as we wrap up our financialreporting and produce W2s and 1099s. I admit that we are still in the trenches trying to wrap up loose ends.

    Although these early months have found us in 11 churches in 4 states, the preaching schedule has started off a little slower thisyear than most. I am grateful for the opportunity to preach at Friendship BC, St. Pauls, NC Pastor Matthew Beaver (MissionSunday); First BC, Lawtey, FL Pastor Tim Mulkey (Mission Conf); New Vision BC Dallas, GA Pastor George Hill;Grace Community BC Sugar Valley, GA Pastor Ken Jennings (Revival); Open Door BC, Richfield, NC Pastor NathanHammill (Mission Conf); Berean BC Ayden, NC Pastor Doug Gaines (Jubilee); Restoration BC, Clermont, GA PastorJoey Yeary; Light of Calvary BC, Conyers, GA Pastor Terry Brock (Valentine Banquet); Philadelphia BC, Calhoun, GA Pastor Tim McCulley (Jubilee); Cloverleaf BC, Cartersville, GA Pastor Justin Gazaway; Hillcrest BC Ooltewah, TN Pastor James Langston (Preaching Time). I am grateful that only one Sunday was cancelled for winter weather and I was ableto reschedule on short notice closer to home. Because of snow, there was no morning service at Hillcrest but the eveningservices were a great blessing.

    God moved among us and we saw lives touched and changed. The mission meetings went well and we are grateful to have apart in leading Gods people in their obedience to the Great Commission of the New Testament Church to Evangelize theWorld for Christs sake! Have you scheduled a mission conference or renewal Sunday for 2015? Time is short and we needto double down on our commitment to missions! If I can help you with planning a mission meeting, please contact us. Ourschedule is included with this letter and several key dates remain available.

    March will find us in North Carolina and Georgia. April will take us to Mississippi, Kansas, Tennessee, North Carolina andGeorgia. Your prayers are appreciated for safety as we travel the roads.

    A HEARTY THANK YOU

    2015 & 2016 DATES AVAILABLE

    A QUICK LOOK BACKNow that 2014 has slipped into the record book, I wanted to mention some interesting statistics:

    4 major trips including Honduras, Summer travels and 2 trips out West Over 54000 miles driven 249 Per diem days (requires overnight stay) Part of approximately 320 services in 90 churches or camps Preached approximately 265 times

    We are grateful for the hand of the LORD during 2014.

    OUR NEEDI realize that every missionary, ministry, and even churches today seem to be in need of greater resources. There is always somuch more that we would like to do feel like we could do even sense the LORD is leading us to do BUT, we are hinderedby resources. Our family is certainly in the same position. Heres some critical facts about the support and finances for ourfamily and this ministry:

    During 2014, we lost 4 churches completely and had an additional 7 become extremely irregular in their support. During 2014, 6 churches added our family and ministry to their mission programs and 3 increased their support.

    PRAISE THE LORD! At the end of 2014 we had experienced a net DECREASE of 2.3% in our support level (compared to our last evaluation 9/2013). Our present committed faithful monthly church support is 59.3%. Our target has remained the same since 2012. Love offerings were up 4.6% over 2013 but expenses were higher.

    As a point of reference, I was able to take 4 mission related trips in 2014 (including our summer camp travel, international anddomestic mission based travel). After deducting all offerings received for those trips, there was a net CASH EXPENSE of$10,257 (cost of travel, ministry, etc. on those trips). That deficit comes from our love offerings and support (or we have toborrow that difference). This is just one example of why your support is so essential. Last year seemed particularly difficultto us financially with lingering vehicle repairs; mission travel, equipment replacement and the arrival of a baby. We arehaving to make appropriate adjustments to our 2015 mission travel plans to get back on our feet. Your prayers are appreciated.

    Will you please join us in praying that the LORD would increase our support level at least 15% in 2015! Our preachingschedule doesnt facilitate much deputational efforts so we depend on those churches that are familiar with this ministry tosupport our family and efforts. I try to maintain a full preaching schedule to help offset the missing support. PERHAPSYOUR CHURCH COULD ADD US TO YOUR MISSION FAMILY or INCREASE YOUR PRESENT SUPPORT.

    These are matters we dont like to mention, but from time to time, it is necessary! Thank you to each of you that do supportour family and ministry efforts. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS A MATTER OF PRAYER!

    FAMILY:Spencer is now 4 months old and doing fine. He has already been a well-traveled baby. Will is finishing up Kindergarten inMay and we plan to go back on the road as a family again. We did just have a new family picture made and we will be gettingnew prayer cards made ASAP. Look for them soon.

    Serving Because of HIM,
