Dear Praying Friends, March 2013
Our commemoration of resurrection morning (Easter) is this weekend. Christ’s victory over death and the grave is
the guarantee of our own future resurrection.
It is also God’s “APPROVED/ACCEPTED” stamp
on the Lord’s redemptive work on the cross, along with God’s “VALID” stamp on every promise in His precious Word. May the wonder of the empty tomb never escape
us!
This letter is later than it should be—you may have
noticed. Several weeks ago, I went to
the main file of our prayer partners’ email lists to edit something … and the
file was empty! No “note of explanation”
was left, of course! L So, I have
been trying to rebuild our email list from several partial sources. Thank you so much for your patience and
understanding.
Please pray that the Lord will give each one of
us a growing passion for the souls of men, who so desperately need Christ. They must hear
the Word (Romans 10:17) from the lips of a believer (or through the written
Word). May God grant to us all the
boldness to set aside our gripping hesitation and fear of reprisal—living “soberly,
righteously, and godly, in this present world” (Titus 2:12) and
proclaiming the saving Gospel at every opportunity.
I was privileged to teach the Introduction to Missions class to thirty-four freshmen and two
upperclassmen at Baptist College of Ministry in Wisconsin during January. We had a serious, yet delightful time for the
thirty hours of class. Please pray
for these young people … asking the Lord to soon thrust many of them to the
fields of the world as church planters!
We ask for your prayers, that God would direct
us to those fields where we can go as furlough replacement church planters,
bearing “fruit that remains,” and thereby, be a great blessing to the
missionary family we are privileged to serve. God is opening a door for us to possibly serve
in South Africa later this year and into 2014.
Thank you for praying for our
children and their children. We praise
the Lord for our five grandchildren! Kyle is now 13 and has grown “seems like” a
foot in the last year! Kathryn is 12 and
still a reading machine. Wyatt is now 6,
and trusted Christ as his Savior in February—PTL! Andrew turned 3 in January and talks nonstop J, and baby Owen was born to Scott and Sarah in
February (see photo J)! God has provided a buyer for the house Glenn
and Becky have had for sale in Louisiana!
We rejoice in your laboring
with us through your prayers and support!
He is RISEN indeed!
Debtors to His grace,
Steve and Martha Anderson
