MY MOTHER:
On October 31 my Mother, Judy Siekbert unexpectantly went out to meet the Lord. My Dad and Mom were 1st generation Christians. They Received Christ on September 22, 1962 and that Changed/ Transformed their lives serving in church effecting their brothers and sisters, their children, grand-children and great grand-children. My Mother’s Life was and is a living testimony of the Change and Transformation the Lord can make, and the rippling effects of that change. My Mother, Judy Siekbert’s Memorial Service was at First Baptist Church of Milford, Ohio November 7th. It is posted on my Facebook. Love You Mom, We will See you soon!!! Please pray for us and Thank you for it. “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” - III John 1:4

MY NEW MINISTRY:
A few weeks ago I met with my Pastor, James Siekbert, and my former Pastor, Dr. Charles Keen, about the Lord’s leading in my life. I shared with them the burdens I felt and listened to their advice. After 5 years as an assistant, 23 years in missions and 19 of those years in Ghana, West Africa, we feel God would have us pursue other ministry opportunities. I want to thank each supporter of our ministry over the past 23 years. We feel God would have us continue to serve in His ministry in some way, whether pastoring or assisting in a ministry of some kind in a local church. As we wait for God to show us His perfect will, Jackie and I will be busy assisting a small church in Bucyrus, Ohio whose Pastor, Dan Dornbirer, has cancer and is struggling to stay healthy. Pastor Dan Dornbirer contacted me a few weeks ago and asked me, as he is struggling with his health, if the Lord would lead me into helping out his church stay afloat until he gets better. I do not know what all this means, but the Lord does and I know that they cannot support me. This church is a young church plant. We will still be maintaining our membership at Chippewa Lake Baptist Church. If you would like to continue partnering with our ministry until God reveals His exact plan for us, we would appreciate that very much. Support money should still be sent to Chippewa Lake Baptist Church. Should you decide not to continue our support, we thank you for all those years you invested in us. Should you have further questions please feel free to call myself at 234-802-5342 or my pastor at 330- 769-2790.
MISCELLANEOUS NEWS & PRAYER REQUESTS:
Thank you all for your Faithful Support Financially and Prayerfully!!! We look to Continue with you if the Lord Leads you in that. Starting this New Year we will be in the process of changing our Newsletter’s Letterhead. Be on the look-out! We are the same people, but updated look. Our New Ministry could save on some costs if we could email everyone who gets our newsletter instead of sending out a hard copy of our Newsletters. We could save on ink, envelopes, and stamps. If you get a hard copy and you do not mind getting an emailed copy instead PLEASE SEND ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS TO: SiekbertRomans828@gmail.com . Please Pray for Pastor Dan Dornbirer, his health and biopsy results; for our continued support; for our family, the Siekbert Family as our Mother passed away; The Heitman Family and his church, Bible Baptist Fellowship as Pastor Georg Heitman passed away; The Troell Family, missionaries to Iraq, as their Father was murdered over there.

BITS OF BREAD:
Help The Brethren, and Strengthen The Church – “But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.” - Exd 17:12; “Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.” - Rev 3:2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HAPPY THANKSGIVING & HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
