We have been so loved...

We feel so blessed to have

been surrounded by our
church family and family
through the hardest time of
our lives. We have received
hugs, cards, food, gifts,
tears, more hugs, words of
comfort. Here are a few
pictures of expressions of
love we have received:

Decembers Happenings!
Many of you have asked how we are doing? We really appreciate all the love, concern, and comfort you have shown us. It really has helped us a lot. The holidays were
especially hard, and we are glad we are on
the other side of them. We are doing fairly
well and are giving each other lots of comfort
and being sensitive to each others emotions.
Thank you so much for your support during
this most difficult time.
Now that January is here, we are ramping
up for this years ministry times. We are still
grieving the loss of our son, Matthew, but we
know that we need to begin to resume our
regular schedule.
We are now preparing for the 2016s
schedule with training, mentoring and getting
ready for the annual Outreach to Turkey and
other countries. We have 14 couples on the
list for Marriage Intensives with several more
on the waiting list. Prior to our Ministry Outreach we will be doing several Marriage Intensives and training a partner couple.
One of our partner couples, Bret and Elizabeth, has taken ILM materials and put them
into a beautiful new book form. Over the
years we have added some additional pages
that were handouts, and now Bret has them

all together. It will be a joy to use the new

books.
One of our newest couples to the team,
Peter and Marty, will be joining us on this
years outreach. We will be joining them
this month for a week of training. We are
so excited to have them joining us in Turkey.
Thanks to Bret the Lord has opened the
door to Romania this year. After our time
in Turkey we will be going for two weeks
in Bucharest for 2-separate Marriage Intensive Groups. The first group is a team
of global workers from a mission organization here in the states. There will be 6
couples facilitated by 3 mentor couples.
The second group is with 2-couples from a
church in Romania. As we depart Romania we will journey to Cork, Ireland to
visit with Josh and Jennifer a couple sent
out from our home church here is Austin.
We will be meeting their pastor and hopefully put together plans for a Marriage
Workshop at their church next year.
Needless to say we are so very excited for
all the people the Lord is adding to the
team. More details will be forthcoming.
