Legacy Letter January 2016

IN THIS LETTER: Baptism in Chiang Mai, Passover in Burma,
Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, It is always rewarding to baptize a repentant young person who has sincerely given their life to the eternal care of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. On Sabbath, the 12th of January, our small congregation of the Church of God in Chiang Mai, shared in the joy of God our Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and all His angels as a young couple from Myitkyina, Kachinland, in northern Myanmar (Burma) were baptized in our newly repaired pond.

27 March 2018 – Dear Brethren and Fellow Laborers, Leon and I have discussed Jerusalem since his hospitalization. It was very much on his mind after coming out of ICU, and it has become a major topic of our conversations together ever since. Now, the United States, amidst much controversy, is to move it’s embassy to this historically significant city. Our in-depth Bible studies have shown us Jerusalem throughout its past, present, and future. Let’s look at this great city that three of the world’s major religions claim as their own. Jerusalem! Where do we begin with this “city of God”? Where does it, or when did it, all begin?

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers,
Last month I received a surprise telephone call from Queen Sirikit’s deputy private secretary. She said that Her Majesty was inviting Gloria and me to come to Bangkok for a concert. I explained that Gloria was already in California taking care of her 96-year-old Aunt Gerda for a few months. She said she would get back to me. A short time later, the queen’s secretary called back and asked if I would agree to accept the invitation and come alone. I said I would accept.
