Sunday Is Coming

Good morning,

We are down to our last few days here in Coffeyville and the aproaching weather tells me it is none to soon. We may have to alter our plans: the stay in tulsa will be cut short, probably leaving there Monday after we go by the RV dealer for a few repairs.

I urge you to keep us in your prayers as we travel.

Thanks for all you do for us to keep us on the road doing what we know God has called us to do. I wish we could sit and tell you just how He has used us in so many peoples lives.

My prayer for today is for 25 caring, loving people to come along side us with a $25 a month donation that would take care of our needs. If you feel God telling you to give, then send to the address in the menu to the right and if you need a tax deduction make check out to CRM Int'l.

Thanks again.

Have a great day, love you, pass it on,
Don Baker

A Light in the Darkness
This devotional was written by Jim Liebelt

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. - Isaiah 9:2

This prophecy of the coming Messiah brought a sense of hope to people living in dark, difficult times. At times, we’ve all sensed the reality of living in a dark world. The hope of the prophecy was fulfilled in Jesus, who said, “I am the light of the world.” (See also Matthew 4:12-16.)

Through Jesus, we can live our lives in the light of His love, peace, and truth.

“In Him was life, and that life was the light of men…The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.” John 1:4, 8

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie.
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
(from O Little Town of Bethlehem)
We celebrate Christmas because God gave Jesus to us to shine light upon any darkness in our lives.

Sunday's Coming

Good morning,

I pray all is well with you. LaVon and I are doing great; the people here just love us and make us feel needed.

We took up a collection to help two families give gifts to the nursing home: a great sucess.

Thursday, I have a meeting with several pastors to tell them about CRM and our free medical clinic; to see if there is any interest in starting one here.

Our time is fast coming to an end. We are leaving on the 14th after church and going to Tulsa for a few days. We will spend that time with Stephanie and family and get some waranty work done on our RV. The 17th we will go to Norman for a few days, leave the 22nd for Waco, Texas, then off to Arizona.

Thanks for your prayers and your financial support; without you we couldn't do this. We will have to pay for our site in Arizona which will be about $400 a month. We are trusting God to provide for us. If you haven't given to our ministry and you feel God leading you now, just send to the address in the menu on the right.

Thanks again!

Have a great day,love you,pass it on,
Don!
