Dear Praying Friends:

A songwriter challenged us to, “Count your blessings, name them one by one.”

Today, I am counting and found you on the list. Thank you for your love, prayers and support. You are a blessing!

Despite the economic downturn, God has used His faithful servants to continue giving so missionaries can go, take the Light, teach all things He commanded, and train nationals to teach others. Thank you for being so faithful to support my ministry. While some churches have had to make the painful decision to reduce or discontinue support to missionaries, thankfully, others have been able to make some increases. Somehow, the Lord has multiplied the dollars. I haven't picked up 12 basketfuls, but my needs have been met. Your giving is a blessing!

I feel uniquely fortunate to have had the opportunity to serve the Lord full-time for 38 years. Thousands of students have become like family. I am blessed!

I just returned from England where I taught at the Baptist Bible College of Great Britain, prepared additional materials to be utilized in annex classes and tried to be an encouragement to several missionary families who are facing challenges. It is my privilege to teach such receptive and grateful students - even in English Communication classes. Their dedication to the Lord and His service stirs my heart. Serving is a blessing!

Mother has had some recent health issues. Today, October 20, she completes a 10-day hospital stay in Texas and begins 20 days of rehabilitation. Please pray that her strength will increase and I will be able to take her home soon. October 30, she will turn 100 years. She is a true Proverbs 31 woman. Her example is a blessing!

I will be reporting to a church next month and available to do additional reporting and Sunday School Training until the end of January. I look forward to the work the Lord has planned for me. Looking to future opportunity is a blessing!

Unusually Blessed,

   


Mary Herman

Committing the things I have learned to faithful men who shall be able to teach others also.  II Timothy 2:2
