Dear Friends,<\/p>\n

Warm Greetings from Florida, where it is not so warm.\u00a0 Seems like everytime I look at the temperature lately it is 47 degrees!\u00a0 I know many are enduring much colder temps that this, but for us in Florida with our \u201cthinned out blood\u201d, it is a bit nippy!<\/p>\n

January flew by and we can\u2019t believe February is here already!\u00a0 We will gain a new granddaughter this month, and are looking forward to her arrival!\u00a0 She is due the 19th<\/sup>, but she hasn\u2019t really let us know exactly when she will arrive!\u00a0 Amy and Tim celebrate birthdays this month.\u00a0 We are so thankful for them both!<\/p>\n

We have spent our weekends lately travelling to Fort Lauderdale to help George\u2019s Mom and Dad.\u00a0 Dad has had some hospital stays, and we have tried to encourage them and be there to help take Mom where she needs to go.\u00a0 Andrew and Paul have been a big help too, but we count it a privilege to be able to be close enough to help care for these dear ones.\u00a0 Please pray for healing and recovery for Dad.\u00a0 He recently went into a nursing home with specialties in areas he has need of.\u00a0 We are praying for the in home caregiver for Mom, as she can\u2019t really stay home alone any longer, but she is not happy about having someone with her all the time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please pray for us to be wise, helpful, and encouraging.<\/p>\n

Ethnos360 is implementing some software changes and procedure changes in how we handle data entry and saving documents.\u00a0 Sometimes, it is difficult for \u201cold dogs to learn new tricks.\u201d\u00a0 Please pray we will remain flexible and able to be a good help in our Member Services Department.\u00a0 We are thankful to have a vital part in keeping our missionary family on the field, and able to serve, by handling paperwork and other requirements for them.<\/p>\n

Hector is in his last semester at the Missionary Training Center, he is really loving it!\u00a0 He will take a summer course in Greek this year, and then they will begin their plan to return to Mexico.<\/p>\n

Brett and Debby are very involved with Bible Institute classes and trying to keep a balance in family and ministry.\u00a0 The twins turned 2 on January 26.\u00a0 They are so cute!\u00a0 She has great pictures and video on her Facebook page, feel free to go look!\u00a0 (DebbyBrettChapman).<\/p>\n

Beka and Cody are still in Washington.\u00a0 Cody is doing the instrument training for his flight school this semester.\u00a0 Beka is still at Life Flight as a Paramedic. Pray for her witness to be sweet and for her co-workers to be easy to work with. (Especially Dawn).\u00a0 Thanks!<\/p>\n

We are praying for wisdom as we work through the things we need to with family issues, as well as try to get our tax preparation done.\u00a0 We have also taken on listing the printed Ethnos360 materials to sell online.\u00a0 This has added a bit of work and bookkeeping to our other online sales business.\u00a0 We still volunteer at our local library twice a week, and enjoy our friends there.\u00a0 Pray we will be wise to speak a word in season, and speak and show the love of our Savior to others around us.<\/p>\n

We are praying about the Easter program at our Church, as we have been gone on the weekends, we may have to adjust our expectations on that front.\u00a0 Pray that Linda has wisdom in this.\u00a0 Also for substitute Sunday School teachers as George has been gone, as well.\u00a0 We are so thankful for the Praise Band at church, they are willing to fill in while Linda is gone from her piano playing duties.\u00a0 Thank you, Lord, for good friends and co-workers!<\/p>\n

We are excited to see a new semester beginning at the Ethnos360 Bible Institutes and at the Missionary Training Center.\u00a0 New student as well as returning students are focusing their lives to learn and apply God\u2019s Word to their lives.\u00a0 Pray for these students to see God strong on their behalf, to provide their needs, and to teach their hearts as they step out, by faith to serve Him.<\/p>\n

We rejoice to hear of many areas around the work where the Bible teaching is making a difference in the lives of those who are hearing it for the first time.\u00a0 Pray for the missionaries who are teaching, and mentoring these dear people, and that those hearing the Word of God will understand it and believe it.<\/p>\n

We thank you, so much, for your care for our family and our ministries.\u00a0 Your prayers for us, moral support and contacts with us have been so encouraging.\u00a0 Please let us know how we can pray for you!\u00a0 We want to have a part in our lives, as well.<\/p>\n

In God\u2019s Strength,<\/p>\n
