Brief but Busy
Our furlough back to the States was a brief one but still very busy. We managed to pack a lot into our few months home. It was such a privilege to give our ministry update in over twelve churches. We also caught up with several other pastors in between church visits. It was also a blessing to be able to speak in three elementary school classes. We did all of this and spent a lot of quality time with our family and friends as well. Since we stayed closer to our homes we were not able to get to all of our supporting churches. However, we do want to make sure that you and your church are up to date on our ministry here in Australia. Our latest DVD update, a new prayer card and our latest photo should be on the way to you soon. Please let us know if you do not receive this package in the next few weeks. This DVD is actual testimonies from some of the people who have been impacted by the ministry here in Jerrabomberra. Your support and prayers have helped to make this possible. We hope you enjoy the video and share it with your people there. Feel free to use it for your next missions emphasis night or in your next missions conference. We arrived safely back in Australia on Friday, the 3rd of February. Please pray for us as we get settled back in. We were thrilled that our services, men's Bible study and Children's Church classes continued in our absence. We were so encouraged by our people here and how they stepped up to the plate and worked hard in the ministry while we were away. Please pray for Dwayne as he will be returning back to the States next month to attend several missions conferences and speak in some more churches. Pray for the ministry while he is away. Valerie and Austin will stay on the field this time and help with the work.

Prayer Requests
The Australian dollar has once again gained a lot of ground and is very strong. We are now losing money with the exchange rate. When we first arrived on the field we were getting almost double our support!! Please pray for our finances. Next month we have a $2300 Australian tax bill due. In April we have to pay our annual car registration and third party insurance payment which will be over $950. Thank you so very much for your prayers and faithful financial support!
