Sunday, Feb. 17, 2013

Some of the Sunday morning, Feb. 17, 2013, children

that attended the service. They were a handful ~ ages ranging

from 3 to 12 and there were 21 of them ~ it was a challenge

keeping them focused. 

 

 

Taraetoa is faithful to attend both Sunday morning and

Sunday night!! Last night at song request time

she selected a song (for the first time) but

had Rhondo give us the number.

 

 

There are so many children on the island that need

the Lord. Like all children they love to run and play.

Did you notice they are all barefoot??

 

 

Last night after we took Taraetoa home we decided to

take a drive around the country. As we

approached Anibare Bay you could

see that even the Nauruns thought that it was

very hot yesterday. They were out in large numbers

cooling off in the ocean.

 

As we were headed home we once again were praising the LORD

for the opportunity to be in Nauru.

 

Please continue to pray for International Baptist Church and Pastor Adam McGeorge.

He and his family will be returning to the island soon and we will be

returning home to Saint Joseph, Missouri.

 

We are praying that the Lord will open doors for us to serve HIM where

a missionary is in need!!!

 

 

 

 



Pictures and bulletin board

Since our ministry is a 'temporary' fill in for the

pastor we always keep the pastor and

his family before the people.

Whether it be by notes they have sent or by pictures.

Here in Nauru we have posted some pictures on the bulletin board of
the McGeorge family.

Happy New Year

from Nauru.

 

A new year,a new day and a new beginning!!

 

Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;

and lean not unto thine own

understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him,

and he shall direct thy paths."



Prayer

~ Prayer Request ~

 

 

We are asking you to please pray with us regarding our next 'Standing In The Gap' field. We want to be exactly where the LORD would have us to be. We are available from Mid-June 2013 through April 2014. We have a 'tentative' place to be for a missionary from June 2014-November 2014.  Please contact us through our email address: landcpaine@yahoo.com or Pastor Bill Marshall at 816-279-9967 or the Global Independent Baptist Missions office at 972-221-5600.

Matthew 21:22 "And all things,

whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing,

ye shall receive."

 

Provisions

Psalm 68:19

 

"Blessed be the Lord,

who daily loadeth us with benefits,

even the God of our salvation. Selah."

We are so thankful for the Lord's daily provisions in our lives. Sometimes we think we may need this or that but HE always provides us with what we need.

The weather has taken a bit of a turn the last two weeks, after a bit of a dry spell we are having a lot of rain and a drop in the daily temperatures (in the mid 80's instead of the mid 90's).  We are again experiencing car problems and are not able to use the Land Cruiser at this time (waiting for a part to come from Australia) and so we used the Cub Cadet to go and run the 'Monday errands'.  We got caught in a rain storm and by the time we got to the store we were drenched. We figured we might as well do our shopping and hope that by the time we were done the rain would have stopped. Well, it did not stop but it did reduce to a sprinkle.  

Life on the island of Nauru can be a bit of a challenge but we are thankful for the privilege of being here and watching over the work of missionaries Adam and Christie McGeorge.  Please pray for them as they continue on their furlough and report to as many churches as is possible.

The Lord has provided in all sorts of ways since arriving

on the island ... look what we found last night.

 

Pawpaws growing in the front yard. They need

to start yellowing before they are ready to eat.

 

The church folk helped Leo celebrate

his birthday  in September with cake and

they gave him a shirt. It was

very thoughtful of them to do that for him!

 

Beauty all around the island ~ Frangipani as

we call it Plumeria.

We are very thankful for all the churches that support 'Standing In The Gap' without you we could not do what we are doing.

We are asking you to pray in regards to our next area of

service. We return to the U.S. in April of 2013 and have

been asking the LORD to 'open the door' to what HE has for us next.

 

 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
 In all thy ways acknowledge him,

and he shall direct thy paths"

Proverbs 3:5-6





God's Provisions!

Sunday, September 30 was not like any Sunday we have had in Nauru. Since it was the 5th Sunday of the month we had lunch following the morning service then we closed the day with an early afternoon service. Leo took everyone home while I cleaned up the church area and did the dishes. We had a couple of hours rest and we headed to Bro. Danio's and Mona Lisa's Naurun church. What a blessing it was to be there, everyone was so friendly and kind. The singing was special and a real blessing to our hearts. Bro. Danio did the announcements, in Naurun, and gave the pulpit over to Leo, he preached from Matthew 9:35-38. We said our good byes and headed homes because we had arranged with a church group in the Netherlands to say hello to everyone on Skype. We had 'stood in the gap' with this group in 2011 and it was good to 'see' everyone again. What a blessing these folks were to us during our time there.

This is for you Bro. Richard ~~ God has provided in many ways including bananas growing in the front yard.
