Taste and See (Psalm 34:8)
“Joy in the New Testament is more than emotion; it is the settled, Spirit-given delight that arises from the redemptive acts and abiding presence of God. It is rooted in divine initiative, experienced in the believer, and expressed both now and in the age to come.” (from Bible Hub's description of Strong’s Greek “chara”).

Come and See (Psalm 66:5)
On Tuesday, Debbie’s dad was placed on home hospice. Whether his eternal home-going is days or months from now, his view of having experienced a joy-filled life encourages visiting healthcare workers. There is no dread in his spirit. The settled belief of a better Home awaiting him in the Lord’s timing guides his attitude. On Friday, Debbie was there when he met the lady who would serve as his hospice chaplain, on call as needed. (She is the first African-American woman to receive a Master of Divinity degree in 2014 at a popular Nashville Christian college.) Eddie felt compelled to tell her that he had no problem with his chaplain being a woman. She was surprised and thanked him for saying it aloud. They laughed and shared experiences for some time. Then she asked him to pray, and was touched by his recognition of her utilitarian role in caring for the dying.
Verlin made marked progress with a volunteer helper on the deck and ramp work, although he labored alone most of the week. He still checks for helpers, paid or volunteer, but is not willing to lose more than fifteen to twenty minutes checking on others’ availability on any given day when a second or third pair of hands would be helpful. Together, we prepared some reports, and Debbie sent a Christmas letter to all our ministry partners by mail. Every year, this is a stressfully busy but blessed time. Remembering with thanksgiving the Lord’s provision of time, material, and the people who join with us to share the Good News in Cote d’Ivoire and the surrounding West African nations brightens our spirits. Your presence in our lives is a great source of joy!
Prayer & Praise
- π Two people we thought might be able to help Verlin for pay to scarf some joints stated themselves as unavailable in the cold weather. They were also unfamiliar with how to do the work. So, pray trustfully that the Lord speeds the work along with or without additional help.
- π Corbin, our third-born child, moved to Kentucky for a new engineering job with good potential for growth. Ask the Lord to bless his relocation and finding a church home. One of his best friends from college also works for the company.
- π Thank the Lord for the smooth transition of Debbie’s dad to home hospice care. There remain some details to work out. He appears stable while progressively weakening.
Your partners in the Gospel,
Verlin & Debbie
