We have just closed on our new home base right off the campus of Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, and we are in the process of moving in! We are sensing a new beginning! More to come!

We are taking the month of January to get refreshed with the Lord, and to get re-focused for the year to come!!!! The Lord has given us several promptings to sit with Him, read His Word, and Rest in Him. So check back in February!!!

Praying that 2015 will be a year of the abundance of the Lord, including more of His presence, provision, peace and power in your lives.

It’s 12 days since our last post and we are STILL working on that newsletter.  We need to hire someone to post daily for us, or at least a few times a week! It’s COLD here and we’ve had some snow but God is still setting up divine appointments for us! We are grateful that He uses all of us who are willing and available to reach out to those who don’t know His love. May you have a wonderful day next Thursday giving Him thanks!

We were treated to a wonderfully refreshing pastors/missionaries conference in Brookings, South Dakota the first part of this week. It was a wonderful time of meeting people and hearing testimonies of how the Holy Spirit is working through people just like you and us! Thank you to our pastors for taking us along with them. It was truly a blessing.

We just got back from the lake where a wonderful photographer from our church took pictures of us and the bike and banner for the new brochure we are working on! We haven’t had a new picture for 10 years. Our thanks to June for such a blessing! Can’t wait to have them. (Update: You can see our new BWB picture at the top of our Photo Gallery page!)

We leave Monday for Arizona till Friday and then we’ll be in California for a few days.  Please pray for safety as we travel and that we get to see everyone we would love to see while we’re there!

Emil had an eye appointment today and the doctor asked why he didn’t fill out his health history sheet. Emil explained that he isn’t on medication, doesn’t have any diseases, and doesn’t have a regular physician. The doctor was amazed and after examining Emil’s eyes declared that they are in perfect health which told him that Emil’s health is very good! Emil took the opportunity to tell him that he makes sure to stay free of unforgiveness and constantly releases stress to the Lord, two of the main things that lead to disease. The doctor said, “Wow, you really have life figured out. You’re right. There are people from way back in my life whom I need to forgive.” TY, Lord, for the way You orchestrate conversations to open people’s eyes to truth and life.

Well, the severe weather warnings prompted us to get down into the basement today and get it ready for any weather emergencies. We pray that the rain and thunderstorms come without accompanying hail and tornadoes this season. In the meantime, our motorcycle is in the shop getting repairs and ready for the minute we can get on the roadside!

Exponential and unconventional were two of the words we received last weekend.  “You’re to keep being unconventional” and “you are going to experience exponential results.” The prophecy ended with, “Your life is a book and the book is getting better, and the plot is getting thicker!” There was lots in between that really encouraged us and gave us direction.
