FALL 2009 PRAYER LETTER
Dear Faithful Supporters and Praying Friends,
Greetings in the name of the Altogether Lovely One, our Lord Jesus Christ. We trust each of you enjoyed a fruitful, joyful summer and are now in the midst of fall activities for our Lord. We treasure your love, friendship and partnership in this ministry.
OUR FRUIT:
The summer months took us to Cambodia, WI, MN, and IA, Some of you may not have received our summer prayer letter reporting on these ministries. Just to recap, we saw 55 souls, mostly Buddhist come to receive Christ in Cambodia. We had several saved as we preached three weeks of camp in MN. Our fall schedule has included meetings in SC, MN, WA, WY, and SD. We are presently preaching in Huron, SD, and move on to Tulare, SD, next week. Then we fly to Alaska for three weeks of meetings in Palmer, the Kenai, and Anchorage. On November 30, we leave for a 15 day tour of Israel and Petra. This will be my fifth time to tour/host a group to Israel. I will be hosting tours every year at this time frame as long as the Lord and the political climate in Israel allow. Contact me for information if you are interested in joining us on a future tour.
OUR FAMILY:
We rejoice to share that our eldest daughter, Rebekah, gave birth to a precious baby girl, named Sophia Anette, on September 21. Sophia's older brothers, Philip and Caleb are now in love with their new sister. Joe Leavell, our son-in-law, continues to faithfully pastor Mid Valley Baptist Church in Durham, CA.
Our second daughter, Deborah, is finishing her last two classes at International Baptist College in Tempe, AZ. She will begin her student teaching in January and then march for her Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education in May. Deborah is engaged to Johnny Mani and they plan to wed August 13, 2010. Johnny is the son of a pastor in Andhra Pradesh, India. Deborah and Johnny anticipate ministry there when he completes his Master of Divinity degree.
Our Jonathan is now 11 years old and is such a good traveler. He enjoys singing in our meetings and testifies that God has called him to preach. He would like to be an Air Force Chaplain someday. We pray the Lord will help keep this focus on Christ.
OUR FINANCES:
We rejoice that we presently have eight supporting churches and eight regular giving individuals. They share a big part of the load of the expenses of our foreign trips. We are always praying for others that God would lead to be a part of our support team. (1 Sam 10:26) Last year we spent $25,000 just in airline tickets! The Lord led one of our supporting churches to completely underwrite the expense of our ministry in Cambodia. We are always amazed as we see the Lord meet our needs each year.
OUR FUTURE:
The day after we return from Israel we will fly out for ministry in the Philippines, then on to India for the entire month of January and the first week of February. Then we return to a different area of the Philippines for another three weeks. From there, we go on to the Island of Pohnpei in Micronesia before returning to the U.S. Four days later, we fly to Trinidad and St. Vincent in the West Indies (Caribbean) for another month of ministry. PLEASE pray for us as we obtain flights and visas. Pray for our health, finances, protection, and most of all, fruit that remains in these meetings.
God bless and use each one of you in His service,
The Evangelist Randy Chovan Family
