November Prayer Letter

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus, November Update

We trust this update finds you firmly trusting in the promises of God and laboring in the fields that are so precious to Him. The Putney family has enjoyed a great month of meetings all over the state of New York. We have established some great new relationships and are thrilled to see God working in the lives of people. At a recent meeting we had the privilege of ministering in both Sunday morning and evening services. In the morning there was a strong response at the altar but rarely in our short stays do we get to see any immediate impact. This Sunday, when we returned for the evening service a woman started the service by praising God with tears in her eyes for giving her boldness to finally witness to her whole family at an afternoon get together, it thrilled our souls to see the burden she has for them and the victory won in her life. it is a testimony of the working of God and the faithful investment of the local church in her life.

As November and December progress, we are excited to meet the church family in Depew that has been faithfully supporting us for months as well as establishing new relationships at churches inAmherst, Deposit, Holley, Watertown and more. We are praying that the Lord would use these meetings to encourage these churches to continue to be zealous for God's purpose in missions and Lord willing see them gain a burden for the work in the Philippines as well.

Finally, we have a wonderful blessing to report. I am being given the opportunity to take my fifth short term trip to the Philippine Islands through my employer. It is amazing to think that God has made a way to send me to the field of our calling this many times at absolutely no expense to us! While we are thrilled that God would open this door one more time before I leave the company, we also realize how much we need God to work powerfully during this time. The dates are 12/28-1/17. Please join us in praying that God would comfort, protect and encourage our family as we are apart, strengthen my wife as she ministers to our four girls, strengthen me as I work every night and minister by day, that souls would be impacted for God's glory, that I might be a blessing and encouragement to my fellow labourers in Manila and that I would have opportunity to travel to Baguio on one of the weekends to get more familiar with the area we will base out of when we get to the field.

As always, prayer for more meetings throughout 2009 and God's glory in them would be appreciated. We are eager to get to the field in the earliest possible timing that the Lord will allow.

Because He Lives,
