It’s hard to believe that we are now heading into November - WOW!! We hope this letter finds everybody well. Leslie and I are so grateful for each one of you and your continued prayers, friendship, encouragement, and financial support!! God truly does use each of you to bless us and we are grateful for His provision and your partnership!!

It’s a joy to sit down and “count our blessings” this month - of course, the cornerstone of those blessings is our salvation in Christ Jesus, then followed by the Lord’s provision of such wonderful partners like yourselves, who make all we do here in the Mountains possible - THANK YOU!! Leslie and I hope this letter finds you well. Please never hesitate to let us know now we may be praying for you and your family - it would be an honor to come alongside of y’all in prayer!!

What a great time we had this past month as we had our second largest outreach ministry since coming back from Covid. We were blessed to host a community Easter celebration party, including the sharing of the Gospel, food, egg hunt, prizes, etc., 90 percent of which was all outside!! We had about 300 people participate and many seeds were sown for the sake of the Kingdom!!

Leslie and I hope that this letter finds all of our partners well and blessed!! It’s been an active month here in our Mountains and we are grateful for your prayers and support!!

Leslie and I are so grateful for all of our partners, contributors, and prayer warriors!! Let’s start by sharing a couple of praise reports from our requests back in January.

Well, Covid-19 has finally hit Bruce Outreach Center in January 2021!! It is making its rounds, but praise God, as of the writing of this letter, there have been no hospitalizations or deaths!! Also, Leslie and I are praising God that as far as we know (unless we were asymptomatic), our family has not yet been impacted by it. Please pray for us as we navigate through these choppy waters, and as always, we will be praying for you and your family and church through these challenging times!!

It’s been a little while since we last wrote to you. Please don’t mistake our lack of correspondence (the last letter was in September) for a sense of complacency or taking our support team for granted. That is not the case at all. Things have just been crazy here, as y’all know, with this whole Covid-19 issue. Our plan is to get back to regular letters every month starting in January!! So, please accept this letter as a “Quarterly Report” on your investment in the Kingdom of God out here in our Mountains. We are so grateful for your partnership and friendship and I believe you will be blessed by the “dividends” your investments are producing!! So, in that vein, let me highlight each of the last three months!!

Leslie and I hope that this update to all of our support team finds you healthy, strong, and hopefully transitioning back to as normal of a life as possible - hasn’t 2020 been a crazy year?? As always, we want to thank you for your continued prayers, financial support, encouragement, and friendship - it would be absolutely impossible to do what we do here in these mountains without EACH of you!!

It’s so hard to believe that we are now wrapping up August and heading into September!! What a year 2020 has been. We are so grateful for each of you who pray for, encourage, give, and support our ministry here in these wonderful mountains!! Without your generous hearts and God’s provisions through those hearts, we would not be able to do what we do. THANK YOU!!!

What a FULL month this has been - ups, downs, ins, and outs - like a proverbial roller coaster!! Thank you to all of you who have been praying for us and supporting the work here in the Mountains!!

I want to use this platform to simply do two things - give a praise report from the prayer requests presented in the March Newsletter as a testimony to our God’s goodness in the midst of the storm. I will then give you some of our prayer requests that lie ahead for us. THANK YOU!!!

It’s really hard to sit down and write this letter knowing that so many of our brothers and sisters are going through difficult times just like Leslie and I are. But, I also know that we are family and that we are invested in each others’ lives.
