| January 23, 2004 Dear Folks: Thank you for the privilege I had of participating in a service at Fairview Community. It was wonderful to renew acquaintances and meet new folks. I also appreciated the opportunity of sharing the ministry in Quebec with you. As missionaries we come to minister but end up being ministered to. Thank you for making this possible. There is one more thing for which I must thank you and that is for your enormous generosity. Your love offering was most caring and thoughtful. Of course words are so inadequate, however, my belief is that God shall bless you in return just as He has used you to bless me. Thank you for your faithful support and prayers throughout these years. May God grant many more together. Please be assured of my prayers as you go through this period of construction. I shall look forward to seeing the completed building during my next visit. May God give you great joy in ministering in the interim (and many traveling mercies). Grateful to be a member of your missionary family, Ruth |
