November 2005 Update
Thanks again to all who have committed to help support our ministry here in Denver. At the beginning of Oct. We sent out 180 newsletters with postcards asking people to consider partnering with us. As of 11/8/05, we have received 24 replies and are at 40% support, with 20 monthly partners.
We bought a new computer for Rose last month and have set up all our files. What a blessing to have a computer that runs well! Rose has volunteered to be the church Financial Secretary temporarily. Pray that God would raise someone else up within the 6 months. Rose has no experience in bookkeeping, but is learning a lot with Quicken and things are running smoothly….Thank You Lord!
We have begun to have monthly game nights to get our group together to have fun. It'’s been great to enjoy a meal and laugh together!
Every 4th Sat. of the month we are serving lunch at Sox Place (the building we meet in). It'’s a great chance to serve.
Hope'’s Birthday was Oct. 30th and we celebrated with a small party at her grandparent'’s house. Desi'’s folks were out on a visit to celebrate their first grandchild turn 5! Hope was excited to announce that God has given her a special birthday gift...mommy is pregnant! The baby is due at the end of June and we are blessed and excited!
Please Pray! We are looking for a new place to meet that will be warm this winter! Sox Place will not work for winter and does not allow for growth of our kids ministry…so, we'’re excited to see what God does! We will join Bruce and Karen Duell at their house (starting Nov.20) until a better place comes up. Desi, Dwayne and Bruce have put together a proposal to give to Antioch Baptist (3 blocks from our house). They will consider letting us use their church for Sunday evenings starting Jan 1st. Pray for Desi and I as well. We are starting a book called Love & Respect and are setting at least 1 night a week to read a chapter and go through the workbook. The Dokes are going through the book as well and recommended it to us. Have a blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends. We love you.
Love, Desi, Rose, Hope, Owen, Emmaline & Baby

We are extremely grateful to
you, our ministry partners for
your sacrificial generosity. We
recognize God'’s faithful provision
coming through you, so that we may fulfill God'’s call on us for Denver.
