Dear Praying Friends.....Each time I send one of these out, there are
more names on it! Praise God for all of you who are concerned and are
praying for our miracle! God is faithful, and continues to provide for

our church and our shepherd. This past week, he said he turned a
corner
on Wed. and started to feel human again. He is thin, and weak, but in
no pain. He was able to be there on Sunday and worship with the
"family", and that was a blessing to all of us! Praise Him again! He
is planning to preach this Sunday, then Monday (Jan. 21) he starts the
second round of chemo. Some specific requests: that he would be
shielded from any infections out there...that his red blood cells would

grow and be strong before chemo starts again...that his taste and
appetite would return so he can eat and be strengthened...that the
chemo
would do its "thing" and HEAL HIM!!!!
His testimony is strong and powerful in that he said he would not trade

this path God has put him on for anything. He has learned much, and
grown closer to God that he would ever have imagined. We, his
congregation, take strength from his words. We are encouraged to walk
where God has led each of us, to be salt and light in our circles of
influence, and feast on the Word every day to increase our faith and
strength.

To God Be The Glory....Trudy
