<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Dear Friends,
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">2016 is behind us now, just a recollection of things in the past........
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPS'; font-size: 12.000000pt; font-weight: 700;">“A new year is before us, plans should be laid for earnest, persevering effort in the Master's
service. There is much to be done to advance the work of God.” CM 17.2
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">We expect to see many changes this new year of 2017. Some changes may be
welcomed, while some.....uncertain. But we have this promise “I know whom I have
believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto
Him against that day.”</span><span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">1Tim1:12 </span><span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Let not the angel of the Lord record next to our names,
“A day lost!” </span><span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">AH 472.4
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">As we look back into the pages of 2016, we stand amazed at God's leadings.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">In March we had the opportunity of helping 2 very special people concerning their
health. We took them through a detox and cleansing program. This was an intensive 3
weeks! Focusing on the 8 laws of health, a raw food & juice program which included
herbal supplementation, and simple hydro therapy treatments. Many health issues were
revealed during this time.One said, “ I have learned so many new things about my body
and how it works.” We look forward to doing more!
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">As we set our faces to the sun, we have many obstacles standing in our path. One of
which is how to successfully operate a non-profit ministry and yet financially supply the
daily needs of our family. You see as founders and operators of F.O.L ministries, we
have agreed to not receive any personal pay or monetary rewards from this ministry. We
want ALL the hard earned money of our donors to go directly to the benefit of F.O.L,
100%. We have chosen to supply our personal needs by the work of our own hands that</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 14pt;">more can be done in ministry. We made the decision to “live simple, that others may
simply live.” We feel God has answered our prayers! We have established a small store
front right here on our 20 acres. “CROSSROADS” a store that is a quality second hand
business, offering health foods and supplies, a christian bookstore and small bakery. We
have dedicated that out of every dollar earned, a small percentage would be donated to
F.O.L. We also have a donation can on the counter which many have placed their
sacrificial offerings in to support this ministry.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Here in Alaska we have a very short summer season, usually only June and July, as fall
sets in about mid August. So it was a busy summer season with building projects!
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">We have been so blessed with this business! So many have come in and just opened up
with us on issues of the Bible, health, the state of our world. One lady came in to pray
for us with tears as she expressed, “God needs you here!”It has truly been a light in a
dark place! Another young girl of about 18 comes in frequently, she says “I love this
little store.” There is quality christian music played here all day long, this girl, not being
of any christian lifestyle, has enjoyed coming here for the relaxing and elevating
christian atmosphere, we have seen the softening of her heart. One day she came in and
selected a basket full of items, of which was a Bible! We were thrilled to see this young
girl with no apparent desire for Christ-like things, choosing the first step in her
relationship with her Creator. Oh, the stories we could share.......
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">F.O.L made the decision to not attend ASI this year, as the grand opening of
CROSSROADS was August 23. We hope to be able to attend ASI and/or GYC in 2017.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">In the fall we were so pleased to see our daughter off to minister in India for Living
Springs ministry in Kolkata. The work must go forward here and abroad.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Our hopes and plans have changed for 2017. The large property which we were hoping
to purchase was sold in September. Seems the man who owned it died and without any
notice to us, it was sold for a very cheap price of $270 per acre! We have taken that as
an answer from God to move forward at a smaller scale. We will continue on right here
on our 20 acres with health ministry, while placing on hold the plans for a training </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 14pt;">center on the back burner for now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="page" title="Page 3">

<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">There are many sick and dying people in our world who need someone to show them a
better lifestyle, a better way. Recently a man in his 60's came to us asking for guidance
in health. He smokes and drinks so it wasn't hard to tell him where to start. But he
wanted to know more. So we visited with him for quite a long time, sharing our own
testimonies on health and Bible principles. We pray he will take hold of the message.
For we are told the health message is “the right arm of the gospel” and “an entering
wedge” </span><span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">CM ch21 </span><span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">May we be faithful to proclaim it and show the love of Jesus through it.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Let us see what God will do for us tis year! We thank you for your support and pray God
will bless you abundantly.

We have finally done it, from Washington north to Alaska.<br />
<br />
It was amazing how God orchestrated the events of things. It was 3 years ago that we were strongly impressed to start a training center in Alaska to teach industry, which would be important to train up missionaries for foreign work and work right here in the remote places of the U.S.<br />
<br />
So we put our house up for sale to see where it all would go, or if it would go.<br />
<br />
Well, events took place and in our minds things changed, we decided we would drop the idea of the mission training & lifestyle center and if our house sold we would just move to Alaska and do something in the form of missionary work.<br />
<br />
It wasn't until January of 2015 that, after all this time and our house was still not selling, that we reconsidered the idea of starting a training center. After much prayer and consideration, we concluded it would be okay with us if God wanted to use us to start just such a thing.<br />
<br />
Much to our surprise within 3 weeks we had a solid offer on our home and within about a month we were all moved out and ready to start a life in Alaska!<br />
<br />
So here we are, we feel God has directed us to a beautiful piece of land just 20 miles east of Delta Junction, Alaska!<br />
<br />

<br />
It is so perfectly prepared for us, all we need now is the funds to make things happen!<br />

<br />
The property is a bit more than we need (1040 acres) but for the price it's beyond unbelievable! Only $595,000 (asking price) with only $175,000 down and owner contract for the rest! WOW!!!<br />

<br />
<br />
There are already existing buildings on the property, with a septic and well and a complete off-grid system!!! What more could we ask for.........except the funds to purchase it.<br />
<br />
<br />
God has already put us in touch with interested staff and students who have caught the same vision God has given us. Thanks to ASI we have had some small financial contributions and some who would like to donate equipment for our Lifestyle Center. However, much more is still needed in the way of equipment and money.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
But we need to purchase the property..........does God start something He doesn't finish? No, so we press "Forward and Onward." I think we are wearing out the knees on our clothing from much prayer about this project.<br />

That I may take a LONG, forever, drink of this kind of water!!<br />
<br />
And.........<br />
<br />

I was so grateful to have on the extra warm clothes I had, and I was still cold. We had served many cold and lonely people that night. Things were just staring to wind-down a bit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> As I ventured to the other side of the tables, I wondered down towards the end where all the clothing, blankets and other life necessities were being served.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> There he was, bags flung over his shoulders. It appeared he had found some of the things he would need that night in his attempt to keep from freezing to death as he made his bed among the cold and lifeless streets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> As I approached him, my heart sank as I thought of the night he would endure. "Did you get some soup", I asked him. A very gentle reply came back to assure me he had.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Oh, what could I say or do to show him I cared about his life. "Sleeping out tonight", I asked. The sad reality came back at me that he would not sleep in the shelter that night. As all the shelters were filled to over-flowing that night and many were sleeping out that night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> "Are you from here?" I asked, trying to engage him in conversation. Then the words came from his lips that would be repeated many times through the next 15 or so minutes as he shared with me his story, "I'm goin' home."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> His name is Joey, Joey had just spent the last 8 1/2 years of his life in the Montana State Pen. Stealing cars and transforming them into other cars had been only good while it lasted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Originally from Portland, Oregon, he had left behind a wife and a child, then 2 years old. His wife had remarried, but oh, his boy. How he'd missed him. "I'm goin' home", he said. I caught his determined spirit, and began to share in his earnestness. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Then he began to off-load the cargo he'd been carrying around. What was his plan I thought to myself. Then he reached into his back pocket to pull out his wallet. I bet I'm gonna see a picture, I thought. I was right, he flipped open his wallet to a young boy with a beautiful smile looking back at me. "Wow", I said, " He looks like you."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> "I'm goin' home", he said. "They taught me how to make a sign today and ask for money", he told me. Then pointing to the green bills folded-up and tucked into a special place in his wallet. "I made $27 today, I'm trying to get enough for a bus ticket, I'm goin' home."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Oh, what could I do to help this poor man who had only returned to "normal" society 2 weeks ago, to regain hope and trust in God. He had a pocket Bible, he shared that God had been his source of strength through it all. "Just a minute", I said as I ran to get a small offering towards his cause. When I returned I handed him $20. He stood there, beside himself, he was now more than half way there. Almost enough for the ticket home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> My husband had now joined our conversation. I asked if we could pray with him, he put his arms around Mark and I and bowed his head on ours as we huddled there in the street and prayed to the Almighty God for guidance in Joey's life</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwAk0YkXKZkvlEDbOeh3UxJ1hyphenhyphengdYFlSCMYDmavKnl79hwd-GKo0vqxvNdn6PikRHEAVU3WCWe0kmTIm-Xw3O_aHhk0miaj1mlxv-oVV6uj5O4oq97vx1GWjRSGuQKnT9l2qTrPGOlwkY/s1600/IMG_0687_Fotor+Joey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwAk0YkXKZkvlEDbOeh3UxJ1hyphenhyphengdYFlSCMYDmavKnl79hwd-GKo0vqxvNdn6PikRHEAVU3WCWe0kmTIm-Xw3O_aHhk0miaj1mlxv-oVV6uj5O4oq97vx1GWjRSGuQKnT9l2qTrPGOlwkY/s1600/IMG_0687_Fotor+Joey.jpg" height="213" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I pray for Joey, this world is a hard place. I know it won't be easy for him to try and melt back into society. But I pray he will never let go of God.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> For me, Joey taught me something that night. His earnest desire and determined spirit,"I'm goin' home." May that be our desire. To go home with Jesus when he comes. May there be many there in that heavenly home because we cared enough. By God's grace may I be there to see Joey again and to tell him, "Joey, we're home!"</span><br />

Brings to heart the true meaning of Sabbath. When a group of 30 adventurous people, from all age groups, join together, in the cold, to bring hope and meaning to those who are suffering on the streets. </div>

Alaska was such an awesome experience! 11 people, one little dog and our trusty bus, Paul.<br />
All things loaded in we were off for a real adventure!<br />

(Arron was standing next to Schane....camera cut him out, sorry Arron)<br />
<br />
On our way through Canada, we passed out over 300 glow tracts!<br />
In some strange and creative ways did we get these tracts into the hands of needing, hurting people.<br />
<br />
We stopped along the way for lunch and to let our weary driver rest.......<br />

We just got back from about a 2,000 mile round trip to southern California, with a new-to-us bus! We are so excited to have this amazing asset to our ministry!<br />
<br />
This bus will be perfect for our Alaska mission experience, as well as homeless outreach, and so much more.<br />
<br />
Here's some pictures of our trip... (or at least part of it - the rest was kind of boring. lol)<br />

But oh, so different! Some don't have even the luxury of such a meager dwelling, they are just huddled together at the top of the stairs.<br />
<br />
"Tomorrow is Christmas, what will the day be like for them", I think to myself as we pull out the tables and supplies to share with them and try and put some cheer into their lives, even if only for a moment.<br />
<br />
As I am busy running around trying to get all things prepared and laid out on the table, I almost run into her. She is about a twenty something young girl, wearing only a hooded sweatshirt with a t-shirt on underneath, thin sweat pants and tennis shoes. As I look into her dark brown eyes, I see hurt, pain, fear, then she ask me, " do you have something warm to eat?" Wow, as I look at her I can see she is very cold. It's about 30 degrees outside and snow is on the ground. "Soon", is my reply to her, " the soup is just heating up and I will bring you some when it is hot." "You are cold, come get some warm socks and things." I take her to the table and she is so timid she won't even take for herself, but waits as I hand her things to try and help warm her up.<br />
<br />
She quickly walks back to her small tent with the goods in her hand. As she walks away, my heart aches, what more can I do?<br />
<br />
As the soup is warming I impatiently keep checking it, oh, why can't this hurry up and get hot, she's so cold. Finally, I think it's ready! I quickly fill the cup and rush it off to her before it has the chance to cool down in the cold air.<br />
<br />
"Maria," I call as I get close to her tent. She answers and I hand her the soup and another warm blanket.<br />
<br />
How God must feel over the sadness and sorrow of His creatures. I have a home to go back to, a warm bed to sleep in and she's out there, cold and in a tent?<br />
<br />
"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:" Isaiah 53: 84<br />
<br />
May I not live to myself, but always seek to stretch my arm out to those around me. May my heart always be touched with their sorrows.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370375407960748011.post-73839423112639964072012-12-17T20:33:00.001-08:002012-12-17T20:47:10.782-08:00'Tis the Season...<br />
It's definitely the Christmas season! Here in the Northwestern United States, we can't easily forget that. Here's what we woke up to this morning...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLT1ml2MuhUKLkCD4E2BZ6dJ7ZbsM0bwt_nlfK91RL6lq5T2IXqcYmY6FKvMpyyWUvQ9aEgMaYCloNbtNa6bm7jnOzKJnxZCJibVUhue_LC1pIXGhdAKerDo2xfCj6MqVMRq1Bn3rPIao/s1600/IMG_0261.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLT1ml2MuhUKLkCD4E2BZ6dJ7ZbsM0bwt_nlfK91RL6lq5T2IXqcYmY6FKvMpyyWUvQ9aEgMaYCloNbtNa6bm7jnOzKJnxZCJibVUhue_LC1pIXGhdAKerDo2xfCj6MqVMRq1Bn3rPIao/s320/IMG_0261.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I think we had about 14 inches of fresh snow fall last night! One of the largest snowfalls in a night I've seen for a long time.<br />
<br />
But as we approach Christmas, I want to allow my mind to dwell upon the sacrifice of Christ that this is all supposed to be about, and I'd like to invite you to join me...<br />
<br />
Try and digest the following words with me:<br />
<br />
"Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder." God has adopted human nature in the person of His Son, and has carried the same into the highest heaven. It is the "Son of man" who shares the throne of the universe. It is the "Son of man" whose name shall be called, "Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6.<br />
<br />
The I AM is the Daysman between God and humanity, laying His hand upon both. He who is "holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners," is not ashamed to call us brethren. Hebrews 7:26; 2:11. In Christ the family of earth and the family of heaven are bound together. Christ glorified is our brother. Heaven is enshrined in humanity, and humanity is enfolded in the bosom of Infinite Love." -- The Desire of Ages, pg. 25.<br />
<br />
Can you comprehend such a gift? Such sacrifice, and love? I surely cannot. Christ was, and is, the King of all, the Lord of Lords. And yet He chose to be our brother, and confine himself to human flesh, for eternity.<br />
<br />
<i>What love...</i><br />
<br />
One more short quote from the same section of the Desire of Ages:<br />
<br />
"Christ was treated as we deserve, that we might be treated as He deserves. He was condemned for our sins, in which He had no share, that we might be justified by His righteousness, in which we had no share. He suffered the death which was ours, that we might receive the life which was His. "With His stripes we are healed." <br />
<br />
This Christmas season, I and my family want to encourage each of us to remember the Reason for the season...<br />
<br />
<i>Christ.</i><br />
<br />
After all, He remembered us...<br />
<br />
<i>Merry Christmas, from all of us at Fountains of Life,</i><br />
<br />
