January Update 2015

Greetings from North Carolina in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!  We're pleased to share with you what the Lord has been doing in our lives and ministry.

Family: In December we had a birthday party for the Lord Jesus.  Then on New Years Eve we had a message and prayer as a family.

Also our youngest daughter told us about something special that happened during her quiet time one day.  She said, “I told God that I want to be one of the end time harvesters. He said, ‘You already are through the poems and A Brush with Life.” Praise the Lord for this word of encouragement, and the way the Lord is using the children through these two ministries of theirs to touch lives for Jesus Christ.  Their art website has received over 5,000 views from around the world, and their poetry site over 11,000.

Speaking of A Brush with Life, the children have recently added some new artwork. Charity has added a beautiful sunset painting on The Creator, as well as a painting called "Thou Art Worthy" on Jesus.  The other children have also added new ones. You can find all their Recent Artwork here.

Ministry:  The Lord has been bringing a few Muslims across our path here in the area, and given us opportunity to share the Lord through tracts, videos, and through at least one conversation. The most recent one was a man from Morocco named Abdel.  He promised to read what we gave him when he had time, check out the More Than Dreams videos, and call Len to discuss it afterward. Please pray that he will examine the claims of Christ, believe the gospel, and give his life to Jesus.

Meanwhile, Len is still in contact with the pastors from Burma, discussing a possible ministry trip there sometime this year.  And we are praying about the invitation to Pakistan as well, seeking the Lord's direction. These are both short-term ministry opportunities for Len.  Please pray for the Lord's will to be done.

Resources:  This month we would like to suggest an article Len has recently written called, Sins That Will Keep You From Heaven. All of Len's latest articles are available at Old News That's Still Fresh - January 2015. Len's entire collection of his most popular blogs are at Writing for the Master.

In closing, we have much to praise God for, and many opportunities for you to join us in prayer.

Praise the Lord with us for the many answers to prayer:

1. For the family time we had together during December and January.
2. For the opportunities the Lord has given us to sow seeds of the gospel, especially with Muslims.
3. For the new financial partners that have joined in supporting us this year without our even asking, and for all of our existing partners who continue giving faithfully, even above and beyond their pledge.

Next steps and prayer needs:

1. For the Lord to draw to Himself and save the people we have been witnessing to, especially Abdel from Morocco.
2. For the Lord to give Len guidance and provision regarding the open door for short-term work in Burma, which is the next big opportunity.
3. For the Lord to show us if Len is to go to Pakistan this year in response to the invitation.
4. For the Lord to open new doors of opportunity for ministry for us, and that we would be fruitful.
5. For the Lord to raise up new faith partners.
6. For the Lord to provide for us, including another place for us to move to at the end of April.

Thank you so much for your partnership in this ministry.

with love from all of us,

The Lacroixs
