Jeremy and Gwen Baker Shortly after their last report in October, Yuma OPC was forced to look for a new meeting location when the food bank where they were meeting was badly flooded. In a little over a week the Lord provided the congregation with a space at First Presbyterian Church (PCUSA). Jeremy shares the praise that the people at First were excited to help out Yuma OPC and were willing to rent their basement for a price well below their rent at the food bank. Not only this, but they now have access to the space all week. “We continue to be encouraged by the Lord’s grace and provision for us!” Jeremy requests prayer that the Lord would be pleased to add year round Yuma families to their number. Also pray that they would continue to

Chris and Grace Ann Cashen Chris writes, “Why do Christians celebrate the birth of this Jesus? That was a question we were able to ask our new neighbors from various lands. What a joy it was to have had the opportunity to share the account of His birth with many who knew little to nothing of Christ as Savior and Lord, including the children in our after-school program. While Jesus did not look very royal in His manger, we explained that He came, not as a political king, but to be the ‘Most High’ King and rule over the hearts of men, women and children. These truths were also shared with Syrian children that were tutored throughout the school year, as well as an Afghan family who had previously received diaconal assistance

Chris and Megan Hartshorn Pastor Chris Hartshorn writes, “It seems to me that all church plants have similar issues from the very beginning. I hear church planters continually praying for facilities, finances, and officers.” Praise God that the Lord has seen fit to provide all three at Anaheim Hills Presbyterian Church (AHPC)! Chris reports that they’ve been able to take over the entire East Anaheim Community Center on Sunday morning and evening. As far as finances are concerned, the saints of Anaheim Hills have far exceeded their budgeted giving yet again in 2018. And finally, Chris has been meeting with six men that will, Lord willing, be installed as elders and deacons when the church particularizes in June of 2019. Please pray that

Bill and Sessie Welzien Bill Welzien reports that the “season” has begun. Tourists from all over the world are flocking to Key West for the sun and warmth. Bill continues to do his open air easel evangelism three times a week at the Mallory Square Sunset Celebration. Not only does Bill preach the Gospel but engages in conversations with any willing to talk.

A member is involved in jail ministry. Others continue assisting those recovering from Hurricane

Bob and Grace Holda “The Lord has been good to us,” shares Pastor Holda. Membership classes will begin soon with several households participating. Bob is confident the Lord will answer their prayer that Resurrection Presbyterian Church (RPC) would have a core group of 60+ people by the end of 2019 and be ready to organize by mid-2020. RPC is blessed with many young children, so, in an effort to get the children more engaged in the life of the church, some parents began coordinating nursing home visits where the children deliver cards they made for the residents and sing for them. They hope to make this a monthly outreach event. For prayer, Bob asks that you lift up the parents at RPC, that they would raise their children well and point
