Hello Friends,<\/span><\/p>\n

The year of 2015 has come and gone and we are grateful to have been allowed to be used to find new laborers to reach tribal people. \u00a0So many young folks are giving their lives to reach the last reached around the world. \u00a0What a privilege to be able to invest in those who want to count for His name’s sake.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

This past year has been full of all kinds of surprises\"Doug\"<\/a> and blessings. \u00a0So many young folks have heard about the needs of tribal people, those remote language and ethnic groups where the gospel of the grace of God has never been and have decided that they wanted to go and reach them. \u00a0We have been very excited to see these young laborers for the Lord Jesus adventure out to bring the gospel of peace to those who have none.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colleges, Perspectives classes, mission conferences, churches and just “random” meetings that the Lord provides gives us many opportunities to share our hearts with others and invest in their lives. \u00a0Thanks, Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

The last couple of months have been busy and we are very thankful for that. \u00a0We have been to Chicago, Tulsa twice, Canton, TX, Dallas twice, NTM’s Missionary Training Center three times, Indiana, Arkansas, Wyoming and Pennsylvania. \u00a0Lot’s of traveling but very fruitful. Thanks for praying for our safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

At the end of December, I will be traveling to Houston for a Chinese Mission Convention in which hundreds of Chinese ministers, missionaries and laymen meet to challenge each other on reaching the world with the gospel. \u00a0Please pray that this will be a wonderful time of connecting and being challenged and to be a challenge to others also.<\/span><\/p>\n

Later in the month I will be heading to Cedarville, OH for Cedarville University’s mission conference and then to a mission conference at a Chinese Church in Frisco, TX. \u00a0January will finish out with me attending an annual Global Impact Conference in Oklahoma City. \u00a0Looking very forward to that.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

\"Henry\"<\/a>As we promised before, little Henry Daniel Schaible came into the world to our son and his wife Jane. \u00a0Everything went well and everyone is healthy and strong. \u00a0Thank you, Lord!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Thank You<\/span><\/p>\n

Once more, Cheryl and I could not do what we are doing without your help and kindness. \u00a0Your support and prayers are what help us to find new laborers to reach the lost. \u00a0It has been a very good year for that and I trust that more will be heading out this year. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In our last letter, we posted the words of a song that has meant a lot to us over the years. \u00a0So Send I You is very challenging and with that in mind, I thought I would post the words of another song. \u00a0The last one broke a couple’s heart and they are planning to head to the regions beyond. \u00a0Thank you and have a wonderful Christmas. \u00a0We love you all.<\/span><\/p>\n
