Month: December 2022

2022 is nearly complete, and although prices are up, crime is up, and evil abounds, God is still on His Throne, and is still in control of His Creation, praise God!  God listens to the prayers of His Chosen, so keep praying!

Thank you for your faithfulness, as FCFI workers continue to do the work commissioned by Jesus Christ over 2000 years ago in Matthew 28.  FCFI, as a ministry, has much about which to be thankful.  Because of your support this past year, FCFI was able to continue the Lord’s work presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ at farm shows and State FFA conventions across the country, which have been a great source of encouragement to farmers, ranchers, and their families.  We are so thankful to you for putting prayer into action in many ways to be the hands and feet of the Lord in rural America.

Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic
message when the body of elders laid their hands on you, (1Timothy
4:14). Our gifts are improved by using them…they tend to waste
away if not used. We pray to be ever involved in using our gifts
for God’s glory. Please pray for Kathleen’s grandson to return
to Jesus.

Merry Christmas Everyone! I hope your Christmas is great and memorable. 

What would a perfect day look like? This past Sunday turned out to be a pretty great day in my life. It started at about 6:45 a.m. when I arrived at church. Several of us get together every Sunday morning about that time as we prepare for our Sunday services.

I will start my report testifying about the Tulsa Farm Show since I just finished up with that one this past Saturday night. The Highlight for me was Thursday and especially Friday morning when our booth was visited by many FFA kids from all over Oklahoma as well as FFA kids from Arkansas.

Christmas is weird. What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree and eat candy out of your socks? 

A few weeks ago on a nice, warm fall day, my wife strung Christmas lights up outside on the trees and bushes near the house and shop, then ran extension cords to the nearest outlets. One thing about outside Christmas lights is when it’s time to go to bed at night, they need to be turned off. The catch is, I hate going outside to unplug them.

Greetings from the Fellowship of Christian Farmers, International Home Office in Lexington, Illinois. Low rainfall the
length of the Mississippi River has limited barge traffic south of St. Louis, Missouri to a channel in the middle of the river
for half filled grain barges to make their way to the Gulf of Mexico and to markets around the world. Pray for the rain
needed to refill the Mississippi River and all the rivers that drain into it. This grain is needed to feed the world. Thank the
Lord for His provision of a crop in 2022.

I have never understood why women love cats. Cats are independent, they don’t listen, they don’t come in when you call, they like to stay out all night, and when they’re home they like to be left alone and sleep. In other words, every quality that women hate in a man, they love in a cat.
