I ...Hey Fred & Brenda!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the kind comments! I have to pinch myself sometimes to think that the Lord would allow a simple fellow like me from Pineville to travel literally around the world sharing the Gospel and empowering others to do the same. What an honor!!! Who knows what doors the Lord will open for you, too! Thanks for your prayers!<BR/><BR/>Jon, thanks for getting the word out to the CCI folks about the cancelled bonfire. Sorry to hear y'all had a wet 4th. I hope you enjoyed it anyhow! Thanks for holding down the fort for me while I'm gone! Keep up the good work!<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Nathan <><NathanMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11164295169232460427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22152330.post-49439908107855322612007-07-04T13:53:00.000-05:002007-07-04T13:53:00.000-05:00Sounds like you guys are having a blast!!!

(Much more than being aboard ship for a year and a half.)<BR/><BR/>The story of the Philippo fisherman saving me is true enough. The Lord was in that rescue. The undercurrents were pulling me out in the bay. My strength had given out. That's when I heard the butta-butta-butta of the fisherman's boat. The Lord sent me a savior that day. <BR/><BR/>I can see that the Jeepneys are as colorful as ever. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks again for keeping everyone updated. You certainly don't need to be concerned about prayer covering. All is taken care of. <BR/><BR/>Be sure to tell the Philippo brothers of my love for their country. One day I hope to visit there again. (Who knows. Maybe your mom and I will become very adventurous.)<BR/><BR/>Much love to you and Patrick. <BR/><BR/>DadAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447903171560805877noreply@blogger.com
