“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

Dear Friends,

Hi!! Chris and I are so sorry it has been a while since we have done an update.  With Thanksgiving and Christmas and so much going on it was hard to get an update out.   So let me briefly fill you in.

In November we mostly focused on our golf tournament.  We have a golf tournament 2 times a year to help raise funds for all the expenses that aren’t covered.  It was a great event and we were excited to see the LORD richly provide.  Also in November we had issues with our website.  So I have become our temporary tech person.  Needless to say I am not a computer person and can only do what I have been taught. 

December was filled with Christmas stuff and seeing our family.  This was the first year that Chris’ family got together for Christmas since we have been married.  

Haiti!!

Well since the earthquake that hit and devastated Haiti  SGWM have been seeking the Lord through prayer on what is our part in all this.  We want to make a lasting difference for the gospel there and not just to come and help and to never return again.  We are sending in assessment teams to go in first before we start sending in more teams with supplies.  There are so many physical needs but the greatest need is for life change through the power of the gospel.  Please join with us in prayer as we seek the LORD as where He wants to serve in Haiti.  If you would like to give to medical supplies, food, etc for Haiti you can go to www.sgwm.com. 

Nepal

Recently we (SGWM) have accepted another new missionary…Tonielle (pronounced Tenile) Antenesse.  She has been going on missions trips to Nepal for the past four years! She believes God wants her to go there long term.  So she will be leaving on a vision trip for three months starting in February.  For more information about her and her ministry please go to www.sgwm.com/tonielle

Personal New from Chris and Cindy

Count down till baby arrives!

 Life has been very busy lately.  I (Cindy) was hoping that we would slow down the closer it gets to the arrival of our little one but for some reason we can’t! Chris and I are aware that things will have to change once baby comes. Currently we both go to a book study on Sunday Nights with friends from church(Holiness by R.C Ryle) then we have individual bible studies on Tuesday nights then couples fellowship every other Friday night. It’s been fun to see Chris lead worship again on Sunday nights!

In case you haven’t heard, we are having a boy!  I have made it to my third trimester.  There are only 9 weeks to go to till my due date.  We are praying for a happy, healthy, wholly (all ten fingers and toes) and holy (one that is set apart for Him!) baby! We are still a little scared about this new addition to our world.  There are still a lot of unknowns…like how I will be able to handle working part time, will we make it financially, can we do this with just one car, etc?  But all in all  we are trusting in God’s perfect timing and that He is our strength, rock and great provider!

Love in Christ,

Chris and Cindy

Special Prayer requests for Cindy and baby Josiah:

1. Strength and endurance during this final trimester.

2. Increased energy. I am tired a lot.

3. Endurance with pain as baby grows and is in her ribs all the time.

4. That I and baby would have a normal healthy delivery and that it wouldn’t be too long of a delivery! Due date is 4/3/2010. Pray I won’t be overdue!

5. That God would go before us with our bills from baby.  Chris’s insurance changed and  now we will owe about $1500 or more.

Prayer Requests:

• Pray for our walks with the LORD that they would be rich and full.
• Pray for our marriage to be grounded deeply in Him and that we would continue to love one another with His amazing love.
• Pray for our finances. That we would trust the LORD to provide $200 in monthly support . 
• Pray for Cindy and the baby (Josiah) —health, protection, normal delivery.
• Pray that the LORD would provide a second car. 
• Pray that the LORD would provide all the needs for the baby– financial (what insurance doesn’t cover!) car seat, stroller, etc.
• Pray for strength and energy as we serve the LORD together!
