Once in a while, I must take an opportunity to write a special note to those churches back in the USA that support us financially and with prayer support.  We are blessed to be supported by Southern Baptists as they faithfully give to the Cooperative Program and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.  We are also [...]
