“Father, I am very thankful that Thou hast been pleased to save some in this place. I am really concerned about the role Linda and I have in Forest Grove now that John and Mark are gone. With a sense of real uncertainty, I pray for wisdom and understanding regarding Thy will as it relates to the many needs in Newfoundland and the needs in Oregon. Help us both to be united in the decisions to be made that will affect the rest of our lives and service. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
