October Prayer Letter

Greetings to our brothers and sisters in Christ,

1 Cor. 1:4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ. We count ourselves truly blessed and praise the Lord for so many of you who have prayed for, encouraged and supported us along the way. It has been a wonderfully encouraging month as we have heard testimony of protection through the hurricanes as well as a great revival going on at Grace Independent in Mississippi, we have seen a number of new meetings scheduled, had opportunities to preach the gospel in various venues and made significant progress in some roofing on our home which we trust will improve its marketability. We also praise the Lord for the amazing testimony of a pastor who called us to tell us how God orchestrated for the rental space they use for their midweek service to be given to them for free thereby allowing them to partner with us! We serve an awesome God, amen!

We are also grateful to have a pretty full calendar this month with meetings in places like Chittenango, Oswego, Elma and Waterloo, NY. It has been a great blessing getting to know so many pastors at various levels through these meetings, personal visits and phone conversations. The years of ministry experience along with their different backgrounds and situations significantly contribute to our growth and the opportunity to build friendships with them has been wonderful.

This month we will celebrate the fourth birthday of our daughter Anna and that of my wife Stephanie as well. Few times do we see or think of Anna without being reminded how God spared her life when she was less than a day old. It was a moment I will not soon forget and I praise God for such mercy in saving her when things seemed grim. Every day we recognize her as a living testimony of the grace of God in our lives. Anna is a treasure and we pray that she will grow to be a godly young lady. The other kids are growing fast, Sarah is working hard at memorizing the books of the Bible, Autumn is getting better with her cursive writing and Emma is crawling around freely now and pulling herself up on whatever she can. We have had opportunity to spend a few hours this past month working on Tagalog learning which thrills us to be doing knowing that there is a coming a day in which we will be able to implement it in the ministry of the gospel.


Prayer Requests:
o That God would allow us to be a blessing at the meetings this month and that He would impress upon others His burden for the Philippine Islands
o Progress on the transition of selling our home and having the support needed to leave work o That the Lord would put us in the path of the churches He would have us partner with and that the calendar would continue to fill
o For many opportunities to witness at home and on the road


For the glory of His name,

Aaron & Stephanie Putney - Autumn, Anna, Sarah, Emma
