“Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.” Galatians 4:6 &7
-New International Version

In January we begin our seventh year of full time ministry with Teen Quest. We know God cares about us in spite of personal and financial difficulties during family tragedies and tough economic times.
During the past 14 months Debbi and I have lost two nephews, an aunt, an uncle and just a few weeks ago, my father. It has been hard to lose family members…especially Dad. Dad was my cheerleader, my mentor, and my godly example. He was a faithful prayer warrior and faithful supporter of this ministry for the past 35 years.
As another dynamic year comes to a close we want to write to you with very thankful hearts. Knowing people are reading our letters and remaining engaged in our lives is such a blessing. We also want to give God the praise He deserves for those that support us financially and prayerfully. Without these gifts of prayers and finances, it would be impossible for us to carry on our work for the Lord. This is why we come to you this month with an urgent request. December tends to be a very slow financial month for Brittany and me at Teen Quest. Churches are busy preparing for Christmas and our supporters have so many things going on in their own lives. For this reason we need to prepare for a very lean financial month. We are asking that those people who have given in the past and that those people who have never given would consider submitting a year end gift to our support account. We know that without these gifts, this month will be difficult, but we are already praising God for the support He will send our way.
