Year End Letter

Dear Friend,

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9.6-7

Greetings to all in the mighty Name of Jesus.

As we enter into the last days of this year, looking at the events that have transpired through the year, and as we anticipate coming twelve months of 2013, our hearts are filled with wonder and admiration for what He has accomplished and for the blessings that await us in the coming year.

We look at God has done in the past 12 months, and we are amazed. I look at the buildings that we raised up for the work. We have contemplated the souls who have come to the Lord, the lives that have been touched for the Lord. Many other examples of His grace.

And, as look to the expectations of the coming year, we are filled with anticipation for the victories that God is moving to accomplish in us.

I, myself, expect God’s merciful working in our own lives – an including His healing in our own body. There has been significant advancement, and I anticipate a complete healing in days to come!

Another happy note –our 6^th grandson was born the 21th of this month.Beto and Lindsay have welcomed their first son into their lives. We are so happy with Him for last and his safe arrival.

We also anticipate for you His richest blessings on your life and the lives of those who surround you. May this be a glorious year for each one for the members in your household.

In His Grace,

Roger and Linda

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.  (Mat. 19-20)

This is Christmas time, and Linda and I share the blessings of the season.  We express to you and all yours Happy  Christmas and a Joyful New Year at this time of the year. We bless you and it’s the love of this time of year.

This is the time of the Christmas programs too. Kerry Olsen helped us this year. He is a missionary with a message. To the entire church Bro. Kerry spoke on the calling on each of the carrying Gospel to the lost. He spoke on the four aspects of the Cross. He spoke to us about the “Four Aspects the Great Commission”  as well as other themes. On Saturday night at the youth meeting he spoke strongly to the youth, and the prayer with all of the who sensing to the service to mission.

 Of course on the meeting time it is a time of meals and eating.  They were meeting on the team’s time of meeting as well as the pastors’ meal, time as well. They have been meeting in the “Sirloin Stockade” for the meals. It was a joyful time for all. The meals was a blessing to all.

On all of you there, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, as we head into another year ahead. We bless all of you and may you have a blessed time with your loved. We are expecting a happy visit from son Gerray and his wife Anita in these days.

In the Savior’s Name,
Roger and Linda

Update October 17

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases.

This year has been a real change in all our lives with Rogers sickness.

However, we are very grateful for his progress in the recovery process.

The ministry activity continues in our Central church with our team and

pastors carrying on. The programs continue to be aired.

The Titus 2 National Convention was held October 12 and 13th. 

Linda was able to go on the 13th and share and fellowship with the Titus 2 women.

One testimony from our Pastors wife in Tepic Nayarit was really good.

 She told her husband about the banquet at graduation and she wanted him to go. He said, you can go,  I’m not. As the course progressed and time drew closer so told him, I suppose I will have to rent a husband to go with me. Close to the end of the course he said, Don’t rent one . I will go with you.

Our pastor’s wife in Puerto Vallarta is going to initiate the course in 2013.Other areas of the nation were urged and encouraged to do the same. The convention was a great success and the women were encouraged and blessed.

Our annual missions conference will be , as always, the first week in December. Join us in praying for that please.

On the home front, since Aug. 7 until now everyone says that Roger is making excellent progress. Thank you for your part in that. He is responding well to prayer, medication and therapy. We are believing for a complete recovery and that very soon.

We are still on the planet and love and pray for you. Thank you so much for standing with us.

Roger and Linda West
