Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Greetings in the name of our Blessed Savior! Hope this note finds all well this Holiday Season. Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year. Keeping our eyes, heart and mind on the Reason for the Season, which is indeed our wonderful Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. To Him be all the glory.
Thank you for the many prayers that are still going up on our behalf. I believe the only reason I am still here is because someone is praying. Thank you for sticking close to us during this time of testing and rehabilitation. Thank you for your support for IAM and the work going on each day in Africa. Please pray for Dick and Eve Jarvis as they work with the Deaf in Zambia. They are running the Deaf Orphanage and are teaching the children sign language so they can eventually hear the Gospel. We need only $400 a month to run the operation of housing and feeding the children. Please pray about this need. The Jarvis's also need about $6000 to buy a van for the transportation of the children. They have raised half of it and are asking churches and individuals to pray about matching this so they can purchase this much needed vehicle. Please pray!!!!!
The work with our Pastor/Church planters is going well. Village after village are being reached with Bible studies going on almost every day, teaching and training others in the Word. I am currently finishing the Pastor Curriculum which will be used hopefully around the globe to help train pastors so they can train others and reach their people with the Gospel, and disciple others so they can reproduce themselves with the Message of Hope. Jesus is the Blessed Hope that they need.
Please continue to pray for my rehab. It's going too slow for me. The Lord is teaching me some patience and a bunch of humility, which I am sure each of you know I need. We love you all and are indeed thankful, humbled, and grateful for all of your prayers and support. I am praying that my schedule for 2010 will fill up with meetings so we can indeed report to our churches here and get into new churches so that we can find partners for IAM, to reach this world with the Gospel, and plant churches around this world.
In Jesus Name,
Bobby and Becky Bonner
