keep praying for the Budik church that they will be faithful to follow the Lord through the joys and difficulties of life.
Thank you very much for upholding us and the Budik work through your prayers and financial support. Thank you for the encouragement you are to us. God bless you.

Dear Mr. Abram,

http://www.beloitfcc.org/Site/pdf_files ... 011-05.pdf


Is the house available for sale?

How far does Marv Ketcham live from there?

If you would prefer, since I hear you're out of the country, I can deal directly with Larry Brown or Pastor Heagy.

Sincerely,

Jeff Taylor

p.s. I've always thought the Lake of the Ozarks is a beautiful place. By the way, an internet search shows a nearby house at 1661
Piney Point Dr., Roach, MO, listed at $259,000 for 1,922 sq. feet, three bedrooms and 2 baths.

I think your house is at 1173 Piney Point. I also show a listing at 1179 Piney Point checking in with the claim that the average price for similar homes in that area to be $295,098.

Are these prices what I might be expected to pay in that area? From the map on the real estate website, I notice you're conveniently located next to the New Tribes property. It must be nice not having that pickle pond.

Well, say hi to Marv Ketcham, Andy Kline, Bing Hare, and anybody else that comes to mind.

p.s.s. Don't worry about Marv. I found Whisler Ln......also right by New Tribes. Is he still a member of the EC/EB/KFC for New Tribes? Did you guys know you were almost neighbors? I doubt he knew you were living so close. Next time I'm in Roach, I'll introduce the two of you.

Let me know when you're having an open house. Let me guess......you left the keys with Marv. Wouldn't that be neat.

And a final political question, are you planning on contributing to Sheriff Dwight Franklin's re-election campaign? What would be a reasonable donation for a new arrival in Camden County?

Looking at his bio, maybe I should just sign up to help out at Awana on Wednesday night when we're in town after we buy the house. I'm pretty experienced at council time, and running the games. Let me know.
It's been three years since my last trip to Camdenton. We were there with the Shafers. I also visited with Jon Parker, and my cousin Carl Templton. Can't wait to get back.

Dear Friends,
These heart-warming
words were left above the
front door by the previous
owners of our home. God
provided a beautiful house
for us in the hills of the Ozarks where we can serve Him until that glorious day
when He will Welcome us Home to our heavenly home. 
God continues to guide and take care of us as we settle down in the
States. We live close to family and the New Tribes Mission training center. We
have a new address now. Check out the name of the town! An appropriate
missionary address!  Please send all correspondence to our new address:

We just returned from a trip to Michigan and Ontario. We visited
supporters and family, but will be back to visit those we weren’t able to see on
this short trip. It was an encouraging time sharing about what God is doing in the
Budik Church and about our transition to the States. Soon we will be spending a
month in Arizona to see more family and supporters. The miles go quickly on
the amazing network of highways we have in America!
I am very thankful for such a pleasant office in our home that I’m setting
up where I can work on Budik materials in preparation for going back to Senegal.
Our coworker, Ken, recently returned from Senegal with encouraging
news that the believers are meeting and being taught from the Word. Please
pray for Ken as he works on the revision of Hebrews. He has finished the Budik
New Testament, but is rechecking it before setting a date for printing. Please keep praying for the Budik church that they will be faithful to follow the Lord
through the joys and difficulties of life.
Thank you very much for upholding us and the Budik work through your
prayers and financial support. Thank you for the encouragement you are to us.
God bless you.
In HIS love,
Ron and Debbie

B. B. King - The Thrill Is Gone

My e-mail to Ron Abram apparently went through. I didn't get the usual notifications that the message was undeliverable, as I've received from e-mails to other tribers.

I'm glad to hear your e-mail went through, Demos. Thanks for reaching out in love.

I doubt the Abram house on Piney Point is for sale though. After all, "God provided a beautiful house for us in the hills of the Ozarks where we can serve Him until that glorious day when He will Welcome us Home to our heavenly home."

No, the Abram supporters will probably be paying the mortgage in MO, while also funding trips back and forth to Senegal, and sustaining this couple who is serving God, while they are living back in their house in the village.

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

But is there anything to see? Do the faithful have any idea of what is going on or what happened? Somehow I doubt it.
It's like a magic show. If one is sacked, fired or terminated. Then one just says to the faithful "The Lord has called me to serve in a different direction, please give generously". And the faithful never question, after all someone who has given up their earthly pleasures to touch the lives of some natives in far off lands must surely be walking with the Lord all the way, right? And by giving it means one can buy shares in those heavenly riches that will be so generously bestowed upon the good missionary, right?
Of course, that is how the system works, we all know that, it's just not quite honest.

The faithful like voters are free to support whoever they like. The role of those who know what really transpired is to present information so that an informed choice can be made. As in the political world, one should support the candidate with the best track record and the best vision for the future, not the one who looks the best and makes the most outlandish promises.
