\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Saying goodbye<\/span> is something we do a lot of in our line of work. A week ago we said goodbye to Bill & Carol Hart after working with them for 21 years. We’re rejoicing that Jennings and we have worked together with Bill and Carol and that we have enjoyed precious unity and harmony.<\/p>\n

We’ve been through a lot over the years and it’s all those things that have drawn us together. We laugh when we hear people say, “Aw, they’re all the same!” <\/span>Hardly! The three of us units on this team are as different as night and day! The thing that has helped us to get along is that we maintain our unity by meeting together daily for a time of fellowship and prayer.<\/p>\n

Now though, Harts have come to a point in life where they had to make some changes. Bill’s folks are getting up in years and have asked Bill to take care of them during the time they have left on this earth. Also, they have 2 daughters who have finished school and need to be “settled” in Canada.<\/p>\n

When we think of Bill we think of someone who has discernment <\/span>and knows how to come along side and be an encouragement. When we think of Carol we think of someone who has said to God many times, “Bring it on, Lord! Do whatever it takes to make me more like you.”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/dt>\n
\"Daily
Daily team meeting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Hart family has been a tremendous example to us and the Higaunon. They will be sorely missed. Please pray for Bill & Carol and their family<\/span> as they adjust to a new phase of life away from the work here in the Philippines.<\/p>\n

Please continue to pray <\/span>for the Higaunon church, for Jennings and ourselves, as we carry on with what God has for us in getting His Word to these people. We are in the final stages o <\/p>\n

<\/dt>\n

<\/span>f having the New Testament printed in the US. Please pray for all the details involved with the printing and shipping the New Testaments. Work continues here with Bible comics, curriculum development and translating Old Testament portions in rough draft.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for standing with us in prayer and financial support.<\/p>\n

Secure in Christ’s love,
\nLance & Laura<\/p>\n

Here we are fooling around!<\/p>\n
