Praise the Lord for this beautiful Tuesday evening. As we walked the clouds began to break away to allow the glory of the full moon to shine through. The Lord has spangled the spacious skies with countless stars. Only our Lord can make the world beautiful and glorious.
Pray for the following:
Carol Lee, who is going in for a heart procedure tomorrow.
Sarah Deuel, going in for a surgery tomorrow.
Myron Rake, from Wesley, had complete hip replacement today - the first surgery of his life.
Mariah - who is still at Upstate Medical, fighting a blood infection and trying to regain strength before continuing chemo.
Gary McFadden (Mariah's grandpa) is undergoing chemo.
Donna Butler, who is still recovering from major surgery.
Leila Burlingame, who suffers from Menier's disease.
Sandy Wingard, Mike Wingard's mom.
My mom, back in India, who is getting weaker.
Rodney Haines, recovering from recent surgery.
We extend Christian sympathy to the following:
Juna Tinkham, on the death of her brother, Ken Short, who was 93. Juna and Ken were very close, and had gotten together for lunch every weekday over the past several years.
Mike and Esperanza Wingard, on the death of Esperanza's mom, Mrs. Lopez in Colombia, Central America. Mike, Esperanza, and Christina flew to Colombia on Friday to attend the funeral service on Saturday.
Grayson and Leila Burlingame, on the death of Grayson's brother Don, who was 74 years old.
The Maynard family on the death of Doris Maynard. My wife's Aunt "Coonie" was from Smyrna, NY, and had lived for many years on the same hill where my wife grew up. Aunt Coonie was a graduate of Keuka College, with a degree in Science Education. She married a dairy farmer and lived graciously there for many, many years. She also taught Sunday School for many years. She cared for her disabled sister-in-law, Aunt Jean, for many years. (Aunt Jean, according to Doctor's prognosis way back then - at Robert Packer Hospital - should have lived only to the age of 2, not to the 78 years that she actually lived.)
Pray for the building project. We are expecting to break ground in the spring. We have 3 estimates from various contractors, and one of them seems very promising.
We'll meet tomorrow evening for midweek services, starting with a meal at 6 PM. We will be studying from the book of John, chapter 3.
We praise the Lord, for He is faithful and trustworthy, mighty and merciful. Blessed be His name.
In Christ,
Brown
On FEBRUARY 11, 2012 Saturday, at First United Methodist Church, 53 McKinley Ave., Endicott, at 5:30 PM - There will be a Special Banquet prepared by Joe Walker, including a variety of international Cuisine...

Hi Brown and Friends at UCUMC,
I hope all is well with you. I just found out that our last 6 messages to you have not gone through. AOL has decided to reject messages from our regular account (which is why I’m writing you from my secondary account). A few weeks ago, I noticed that all my messages to coworkers with AOL accounts were not getting delivered. After a week of trying to get it resolved, I asked my coworkers to give me a different email address at which I could reach them.
If you’re interested, you can see at the bottom of this message the counsel from my email postmaster at the end of my runaround with AOL. So if you have a new email address or can open one, that will make it a lot easier for us to communicate with you. AOL doesn’t seem to want us to. L (If you decide you want to switch to another address, it’s easy and free to sign up for gmail. J )
Immediately below and attached are the most recent two messages we’ve sent out.
Bless you.
Dave

1. Tomorrow I’m scheduled to leave at 4:00 am (Monday afternoon in the US), for a day of meetings in Jakarta with leaders of Indonesian Peoples Network, a multinational, multi-agency network focused on the unreached groups of Indonesia. From there I plan to fly to Sumatra, to visit one of our teams there for a couple of days.
Please pray:
a. For Jean, as she stays in Bandung without me, for God to reveal in fresh ways His care and protection for her.
b. For me, that my interaction with a variety of leaders and workers will be used by God to increase the effectiveness of many ministries in Indonesia, that the Father would be pleased as the Son is glorified among those who have not yet heard.
2. Attached is an edifying summary of the answer to your prayers for Greg’s recovery from Dengue fever. It’s a short piece he wrote for his school newspaper (Roberts Wesleyan College, where he’s now in his last semester). Praise God for His mercy and protection!
3. I recently received this report from one of the Asian countries where we did training last year in Church Planting Movements: “More Hindus coming to faith since the [CPM] training and people implementing principles. PTL!” Let’s thank God that He’s at work in such marvelous ways!
