Kenyan Widows

Linda and her husband, Wally, left for Kenya on Tuesday. They will be ministering to many different people. Saturday is the large widows' conference. We have planned on 400 widows arriving. This is just an estimate since it's the first trip to the area. They will be returning next week. Keep them in your prayers!

Widow's of the World Magazine

We are currently working on our first magazine for widows. Mrs. May Dubuc has written a beautiful, autobiographical sketch of God's faithfulness in her life. As we continue to complete articles we are seeing everything come together. Please pray for the mass production of the magazine. Our desire is to make it available without charge to the widows of the world.

Next week we will be capturing photos for the magazine at the Grand Canyon. Please pray for the weather to be absolutely magnificent and for us to embrace the beauty of God's nature.

Holiday Blessings-A Fundraiser

You are welcome to join us on Monday, December 3rd or Tuesday, December 4th at "Our House" in Washington, Michigan to enjoy an evening of wonderful, Godly stories about the widows of the world. Linda Hostetter will be speaking to you while you enjoy decadent desserts and beverages. Admittance is free. Seating is by ticket only.

If you are interested, please contact Debbie Hormel.
Her email is dchormel@wideopenwest.com.

The proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to purchase a brick building machine. This machine will be used to build the Skills Acquisition Center in Onitsha, Nigeria.

Pray for Siberia

I have been anticipating my return to Siberia to be able to revisit the widows. Today, I learned that the American dollar has dropped in value 50% and our friends who are the founders of Footprints ministry, has had to release three employees and are concerned that they will be unable to issue an invitation because of their financial stress. Please pray that God will make our way straight and be our provision to return this spring. There are 7 churches waiting as well as 2 new cities waiting for us to come.

The Good and the Bad

Yesterday was as good as it was bad.
Let's start with the good. At a breakfast meeting with some pastors, we learned that you must have a visa in order to enter Kenya now. Before we left Detroit, my husband said, "I think we should take our passports to Denver." And so we did! Praise the Lord, we were able to apply for the visas yesterday without missing a beat. God even provided a wonderful couple to help us with their private laptop and printer.

Praise #2-We found that our filming was not going to succeed unless we had more equipment. After calling a few places, God provided a Christian man who knew everything we needed for under $100. The owner of the business also offered to meet us on Sunday before we fly out to retrieve the equipment. Filming has been going very well, since we now have everything in place.

Now the bad, but there's a good ending. Around lunch time yesterday, I felt as though talons had taken a hold of my throat on either side of the adam's apple. The pain was excruciating and it was very difficult for me to communicate. I began to rebuke the enemy and praise the Lord. I really suffered with the pain and still feel bruised, but speaking is not difficult and I am praising God for His protection.

Please pray for us as we continue to film the documentary for Widow's Might Ministry and Prayer Stations for the Nations.
