A time to thank God.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Psalm 95:1-3 (NKJ) Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the Lord is the great God, And the great King above all gods.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Thanksgiving<\/span> <\/strong>Our hearts overflow with thanksgiving for God\u2019s many gifts and blessings, the most important being that Jesus is our Savior! We\u2019re thankful for our home; we&#8217;re expecting up to seven extra for our Thanksgiving Dinner. We\u2019re thankful for family and friends; Robert will be with us as well as one of Lance&#8217;s cousins and his wife along with other friends. We\u2019re thankful for good health. And we\u2019re thankful for YOU who pray for and partner with us financially so that we can continue to work on translation for the Higaunon!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Translation <\/span><\/strong>Lance continues to translate Jeremiah and is more than half way through the book. He hopes to finish it before we fly to the Philippines, God willing in February. We booked our tickets last night, as we found them at a good price. Click <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/lance-ostman\/give\/\" target=\"_blank\">here <\/a>if you want to help with our trip or you can write to us for more details. Thank you for praying for us!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Tribal Church Conference<\/span><\/strong> We heard from Jennings that there was a tribal wide conference last week. It culminated in a graduation of 12 people who have been in training for church planting ministries in un-reached Higaunon villages. Isn&#8217;t that exciting!? Thank you for praying for the Higaunon!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Therapy <\/span><\/strong>The decompression therapy for Lance\u2019s herniated discs in his lower back continues and he thinks it is helping. We won\u2019t know for sure until he has a follow up MRI. Thank you for praying for Lance&#8217;s back.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Thank YOU<\/span><\/strong> Yes indeed&#8230; Thanksgiving is more than just a holiday. It&#8217;s something we should do daily.
