We have six students who are all doing well. They just started a new course, \u201cEternity to Eternity\u201d. Please pray that they keep up with their studies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lance is co-facilitating an online&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/itpartners.org\/online\/description\/\">Sharpening Your Interpersonal Skills<\/a>&nbsp;6-week module entitled&nbsp;<em>Serving Others Through Listening Well<\/em>. There are nine participants from North America, Africa and Europe. It is wonderful being involved with people from around the world.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Praise:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We received a message from one of the Higaunon Bible teachers of ten new believers in the village where he teaches. &nbsp;And another message let us know of a village where people are hearing the teaching from God\u2019s Word for the first time. <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">PRAISE THE LORD!<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Health:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our eye doctor says that Lance has cataracts that need to eventually be removed. It\u2019s not an urgent matter and he says that we can wait until we return from the Philippines next year, but Lance would like to get that taken care of sooner rather than later. Getting that scheduled to not interfere with our online classes might be a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We received a text recently from our daughter asking if we would be willing to come there for Christmas. Our first thought was, \u201cOf course! Why wouldn\u2019t we?\u201d but then we realized, \u201cOh! That\u2019s right! It\u2019s winter!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be that as it may, we\u2019re pretty sure that we will do this. It just means facing some unknowns like winter weather.&nbsp;<strong>Please pray!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s the deal, our granddaughter is scheduled to graduate in June. If we drive to Syracuse for Christmas, leave our car there, and fly out of Syracuse for our annual trip to the Philippines, we won&#8217;t have to think about driving from Oklahoma in June to get to her graduation. It just means flying from an airport that experiences heavy snowfall in the wintertime! So, we have begun looking for tickets.&nbsp;<strong>Please pray<\/strong>&nbsp;for wisdom in getting this done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thank you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you&nbsp;again for your partnership with us in prayer and financial support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secure in Christ&#8217;s love alone,<br><br>Lance &amp; Laura<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will praise&nbsp;You,&nbsp;O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
