Deputation Update

January 19, 2009

Dear Friends and Family,

God has been gracious this past week as we've traveled through some cold and snowy weather. Last Monday we traveled up to Centre Hall, PA and spent most of the week at the Calvary Bible Church. Some snow was already on the ground when we arrived, and we were able to see a few more days of really light snow. This was enjoyable as we rarely see snow where we live!

We had a good meeting on Wednesday night although not many folks showed up due to the cold weather and snow. Jeremy was privileged to speak on Friday to a group of senior saints at the church in Centre Hall. We are thankful for those older folks who are an example to us of faithfulness to the Lord.

On Saturday we traveled to Biglerville, PA for a meeting at the Jireh Independent Baptist Church. The pastor was gracious enough to give us both the morning and evening service to present our ministry and preach. It is always a blessing when we have ample time to tell churches of our plans for Brazil and give them time to ask questions.

The Lord also blessed us this past week with another increase in support getting us very close to the halfway mark. Please continue praying that God would give us a full schedule of meetings and bring in the needed support for our move to Brazil. We thank you all for your continued prayers and support!

Gratefully,

Jeremy and Esther Lockhart
