With 27 years complete, we're off and running on #28 without a hint of slowing down. I hope you are aware of how this must perturb Satan. I really can't think of anything he would rather do more than to slow ministries like us down. He's well aware that we've led thousands of people to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and we've been among his leading opponents, exposing his tricks and deceptions brought against God's Church.

One sure way that you can make certain that Satan doesn't impede our mission is by remembering to intercede for us and also by your financial support. Since we rarely outline a specific need, this seems like an appropriate place to share something that I need your assistance with right now.

For some time we have been discussing the need to replace an increasingly less dependable 1995 van used exclusively in the ministry. It is the vehicle I have driven the most over the past 6 years and as the miles increased so did the repair costs. Recently, a really good opportunity arose and we purchased a "new" (2005) van to use as I travel in the midwest and eastern US and Canada. Without trying to explain the details, we got a terrific deal on the vehicle and now have 6 months to pay for it. How awesome it would be if we could just take care of that obligation this month. What a great way to kick off another year of ministry!

I believe that many who'll read this note will be impressed by the Lord to donate specifically to this project. Traveling ministries have to have the means to travel and I'm trusting that you'll understand that this was no frivolous purchase but a very practical and needed one.

Perhaps just one person reading this may be led of the Lord to step forward and take care of the entire $9,000 cost. If that were to happen, whatever comes in over and above the cost of the vehicle will be used to purchase a new video projector and another high volume printer that we currently need as well. The day is coming when we'll have to replace our other ministry van, also but for now it would be a real shot in the arm of this ministry to see this $9,000 debt retired immediately.

Thanks so much for your care and concern for us and for the ministry. In particular, thank you for praying for Melanie as she continues to pull double duty as the "point person" for her aging parents as well as serving as the the office manager for our ministry. Please pray for me, too, as I travel literally coast to coast during November, presenting the "TAS" seminar series in churches and as I record another series of radio interviews that will be heard nationally in early 2011. I'll be updating you on the ministry and also the progress toward meeting the needs I've told you of. In the meantime, keep taking your stand for Christ as together we watch and wait for Him. Amen!

God bless you!
