On December 19, 2015, the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Montreal, Quebec, Canada held a special Sabbath for the children of the church. The Sabbath was held in the church building our church rents. The theme of the Sabbath was David and Goliath. The goal was to help the children see how they can overcome their daily challenges and fight their giant problems.
Before the 1989 Revolution in Romania, the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement Church was intensely persecuted by the communist regime. Members were gathering in private houses, and they were often interrogated or even sent to jail. After the Revolution, the joy was huge, and in just a few years, many worship places were built throughout the Romanian state.
Psalm 33:19, 20 “To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.”
In May of 2002, my family and I were in Arkansas for some weekend evangelistic meetings. On Sunday, we headed back home to Dallas, Texas. My wife and I packed our things into the car, called the children, and left the Hindsville church were we had been staying.
Praise God! We have raised $8,487.00 for our brethren in Papau New Guinea, surpassing our initial goal of $ 6,600.00 by almost $2,000.
During our initial assessment we had hoped to raise at least enough funds for three months supply of food, but we anticipated that there would be a need for up to four months' supply. Surplus donations will go towards meeting this anticipated need. Thank you for your prayers and support. We will keep you updated with the needs of our church family in Papua New Guinea.

Soon after I accepted Christ as my Saviour in 1975, my wife, Kathy, and I decided to visit our friends in Minnesota. While planning the trip, we decided that we would first stop by Wisconsin to visit my family, and from there we would head on up to Minnesota.
