The Bible studies on the cruise took place in a piano lounge. Carnival allowed us to list our meetings in the "Fun Times," so many folks on the ship joined us.

Preaching God's Word on Land and Sea

We can't believe how quickly autumn flew by! We pray each of you enjoy celebrating our Savior's birth this Christmas! We'd like to give you an update on recent ministry happenings.
This fall, Jim has preached week-long prophecy conferences to churches in Galax, VA and Jacksonville, FL. Everywhere we go, God's people want to talk to Jim about prophecy, even if it is not the topic for the messages he is bringing to their church. Christians everywhere are saying, "He's coming soon!" The last Sunday in November, Jim attended a prophecy conference in Dallas, TX with Tony Kessinger, where he enjoyed learning even more about prophecy.
Jim also shared the principles of a God-centered church with churches in Shannon, MS, Gainesville, FL and Grant, FL. Jim used the principles to encourage and train pastors, elders, and deacons in Chicago, Michigan, Virginia, and Florida.
November brought the Bible Cruise, and while on the ship, we experienced an exemplification of what the church is supposed to be. We met together, worshiping God and focusing on his Word. We partnered with the Space Coast Seafarers Ministry, and Mark and Jeanie Wodka helped equip us to share the gospel with the employees on the ship. We ate together, walked together, encouraged one another. And the Word spread on the ship. People who came on the cruise not knowing there would be a Bible Study attended, and our original 85 people doubled, filling the room. We are praising God for a wonderful, encouraging time.
In early December, Jim led a Married Couples Retreat at Monadnock Bible Conference Center in Jaffrey, NH. Becky was able to attend the conference with him. The weekend was a great blessing. Once again, the fellowship was sweet, and we praise God for speaking through Jim about how He wants to use our marriages to paint a beautiful picture of Christ and His church.
As the year comes to a close, we thank you for your generous support of the ministry. God uses your gifts and welcomes your prayers as He sends out His Word. We praise Him for his grace and provision. If you would like to give a year-end gift, please make sure it is postmarked by December 31 for tax purposes. Whether or not you are able to give financially, please keep us in your prayers. God is a gracious, amazing God, and we praise Him for ministering through us.
We pray you have a blessed Christmas, and a very happy 2015!!
