SALISBURYS SNAPSHOTS, DECEMBER 2010

Dear Praying Friends,

 It's hard to believe that Christmas is almost here.  Christmas comes early in the Philippines as we hear Christmas music playing as early as September. 

A recent exciting blessing is an opportunity for a new church plant.  BCCP, the main church that we planted in San Fernando, Pampanga, is launching out to start a daughter church, BCCP North.  Faithful members of BCCP that migrated to Canada still have a house in Pampanga and want to use it for this new work.  They have been visiting the Philippines this Christmas and Larry had a opportunity to lead Fer's Dad and Phyr's Mom to Christ this past weekend. 

Larry had an opportunity to attend a Mobilization Conference in Virginia in late November along with a visit with Jana at Moody in Chicago.  While Larry was away, we got news that Donna's Dad had two surgeries due to bleeding on the brain and a blood clot.  Many of you have been praying for Donna's Dad, Sam Conner, and we have greatly appreciated that very much.  Four days after Larry arrived home from his travels, Donna went to visit her Dad in Pennsylvania.  Please continue to pray for him as he has experienced loss of memory as well as mobility.  Jana and I had a great visit in Grand Haven.  God was so gracious and he provided every need from getting a driver's license renewed to having a car to use in Pennsylvania as well as Michigan.   

Thanks so much for standing with us through your prayers.
