Ministry Update:
Within the last six months we have gotten to know the Newman family, he pastors at Hinckley Ridge Baptist Church. At the end of September, I preached for Pastor Newman at Hinckley Ridge. A few years before this Pastor Newman and his family got to know a man from Ghana, Martin. The connection was made with the Pastor’s daughter who went to the school Martin’s wife taught at. Martin, who grew up in our church plant in Ghana W. Africa moved to the States about 6 years ago, got married, and now has 2 small kids. Making it somewhat special for Jackie and myself, Martin and his family came and visited with us at Hinckley Ridge Baptist Church that Sunday that I preached. We prayed with him, met his family, and reconnect after the services with some food and fellowship. We helped Mission Baptist Temple in Stow, Ohio on October 10th. We had great weather and a few other churches came to help out also in some canvassing. A few weeks prior to this canvassing I was there at Mission to share an update of the ministry. October 19th I preached for Ashland Baptist Church in Ashland, Ohio. We had a great day of services with them. October 25th we helped Calvary Baptist Church in Akron visit for their special “Family and Friends Day”. We have visited many other churches being in 21 churches these last two months. I had the privilege to preach at our home and sending church, Broadview Heights Baptist Church, on October 26th. We gave an update at a supporting church in West Virginia at the beginning of November. Please be in prayer for us as we travel, I update, teach and preach. As we are helping, encouraging, and stirring up those “…that have obtained like precious faith…”- II Pt 1:1b

Bits Of Bread:
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; - II Peter 1:12-13
Matthew J. Siekbert
