Deans' weekly update

It is officially cold: this morning when I rose it was −22 F (that's -30 C for most of the world) outside, much warmer inside for which I thank our God. Despite my offer to give him a ride, my father chose to take his walk today. It was −18 when he left. So, yes, it is cold here.

We are still making plans for a special Sunday evening presentation of Christmas music by the English service folks at Millie's restaurant. That is a central, well-known location to host such a program. The church is rather excited. Preparing this program has opened up doors of service to several who have not stepped up to serve before. That has been an encouragement to me.

Despite the cold (or perhaps because of it), we had a decent group of Mongolians come out on Sunday. The singing was enthusiastic also.

On a personal note, sometime during our busy Sunday Kristie lost her wedding band. We have been searching both at home and at the church building for the ring, but so far it remains unrecovered.

There are many things to pray about: pray that we can find Kristie's wedding ring. Keep praying for these Mongolians to be submitted to God's work and will in their lives. Also, pray for the Christmas music presentation. Because I will be preaching to many whom do not normally attend our service, I would ask you for wisdom and boldness to preach Jesus the Savior of the world to them.
