Wow! This past month was freezing! I am so thankful for a little warmer weather and sunshine this week.

Well, the new building did not get done on time as planned. They are not far – maybe two more weeks. We had a couple of small issues, but they are being resolved. They should be finishing up the painting and flooring this week.

Speaking of the new Mission Office building – I wanted to let you know our new mailing address. Effective March 18, you will need to begin using our new address to send letters, packages, etc. We will have a forwarding order on file with USPS for a period of time, but for those of you who have Amazon packages and such delivered to the office, it will be very important to begin using the new address after March 18. We will keep our PO Box 191 (65801) mailing address and will continue to pick up that mail from the post office on a daily basis. Below is our new mailing address, but please don’t use this address until March 18.

The retirement apartments have also been delayed due to weather. It got so cold they could not work outside. Then, when it got a little warmer it rained for a few days straight. We hope to have the seven apartments dried-in with roofing completed by the middle of February. The framing of the short-term apartments will be started in about a week.

Would you pray that God would supply the necessary funds to help complete these and to be paid off by the end of this year? It is amazing that everything completed to this point has been paid for. Praise the Lord!

As this letter is being sent, I am flying to Manila, Philippines. I have been invited to speak for the Asian Baptist Clearinghouse Missionary Training Seminar. I will also speak in a few churches on Sunday, February 4. Then, on February 11 I have been invited to speak for Bethany Baptist Church. This church was started by the Woosleys and Vellas. They are celebrating their 70^th anniversary. It is amazing because that week is also their mission conference, and they will be sending forth their 70^th missionary. Amazing!

Please pray for me as I pray for you. God is doing great things around the world, and it is because our early missionaries and all of you are making an eternal impact for God’s glory. Keep up the great work and stay strong in the Lord!

Your friend,

Jon
