I
sent
notes requesting prayer to
a few congregations and

I
have been absolutely
overwhelmed
with
the care

from
one o f
the D r s
involved in the 3 hour
operation.
I
have
to pay
about
18.00 and the
rest
(some 2 245.00) is covered by
the
insurance
Lab
tests , ecograph,
the
surgeon
and
other

I

final

will
be,

Coakes or myself could get just a
short note indicating your intenstions for the coming
year, for
example, concerning any form of
regular support.
THOUGH MY
EXPERIENCES MAYN T been so d r a m a t i c
and

a

W~en
a
sister
returned hare fran work, before hsr children cane
back fran
schxl,
she foind the
fire
engines cutsicte her apart-
fiBit building.
Iton insisting
to
go
to
her apartment she
dis
covered the two floors
uncter
and
above h^s
were
carpletly
destroyedonly her hare was
carpletly in tact, flnere
wasn t even
the
grell of
srrcke or daros^ to her telcngings. As a
result
she
has
also
gotten an even
better
apartment and the Christians
in
Brussels are able to witness to the miracles of a livirg Gxl.
This s t o r y
was shared
by a
sis ter
of
the
English
speaking congregation in
Brussels
where she and her
husband
minister.
They came origionally to Belgium
as
refugees,
but
have grown
in their
s p i r i t u a l
l ives
and are
being used
of
God
in a mighty way.
What
a privilege to
enjoy
His
blessings and be able to share them with you
as
well.

much
thanks
