Happy Thanksgiving!
Psalm 107:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

Dear Prayer Partners – It is amazing how time flies while being in Texas! We are counting down our final 6 weeks before we return to Taiwan, and we have a variety of mixed emotions, however we have many things for which to give Thanks!

We are so very thankful that The Lord gave Paige a great job in Ft Worth & we were able to help her move into Travis’ apartment last weekend! It gives us much joy to have them both nearby!

We are thankful for the opportunities we have had the past couple of months to share in people’s homes and in a few churches. As we share our Love for Christ, and our zeal to serve God in Taiwan, these opportunities have brought us new friends who have committed to pray for us regularly.

We are thankful for the use of Casa View Baptist Church’s mission house.
We are thankful for the use of 2 cars (Thanks Hunter’s & Daily’s!)
We are thankful that we have both been able to attend the Israel & Minor Prophet Bible study at BSF.
[Are you looking for something in which to give thanks? Read Psalms 103 and/or 107.]

We want to thank all of you who contribute the (LM) Lottie Moon Christmas offering each year in your local Baptist church. 100% of the LM offering goes overseas to missionaries and their ministries.

Thank you for prayerfully supporting our ministry in Taiwan during the last three years. If you would like to hear an update on the work in East Asia, and our ministry, we would love it if you could attend an upcoming mission presentation on November 30th. We will share in both the morning and evening services at Oates Drive Baptist Church where Fran’s mother and sister attend.
November 30th – Sunday
Oates Dr Baptist Church
2805 Oates Dr.
Mesquite, TX 75150
10:50 am – Morning Worship
6:30 pm – Evening Service

Here are some immediate prayer needs:
• Please pray for sweet memories with our kids and families during the next 6 weeks.
• Please pray for complete recovery for Fran as she has surgery on her wrist, the day before Thanksgiving.
• Please pray we will gain new knowledge as we attend missionary training in Virginia Dec 1-8.
• Pray for wisdom, and energy as we prepare to crate our belongings Dec 17th. (This is a major task!)
• Please pray for clarity as we prepare for responsibilities in Thailand Jan 10-25.
• Please pray God will bless Charla Duggins and her husband Bob (from Houston) for their willingness to serve in our BSF ministry in Taiwan during our absence.

We appreciate your faithful prayer support; you are on this journey with us!

Love,
Jackie & Fran
