Prestoncrest Missions

Dear Friends,

GOOD NEWS
This is just a short note to let you know that my colonoscopy was CLEAN. God is good! I am very thankful not to have to deal with more serious illness just now. My stomach seems to be doing better, too, and I am on a disciplined eating regiment that is likely to fatten me back up considerably! Thank you very much for you prayers and encouragement.

ETM
Several of you have asked again for a way to help financially with the continuation of the ETM training program. Thank you so much for wanting to help. The Lake Orion church in Michigan has set up a fund for that purpose and their elders will oversee the use of the funds. Checks marked “ETM-Germany” can be sent to the
Lake Orion Church of Christ
1080 Hemingway Road
Lake Orion, Michigan 48360.
Thank you.

MORE GOOD NEWS
In the last letter I failed to mention SIMONE. She is a delightful woman of about 40, a co-worker of RUDI, who through his influence has begun trying to find the Lord. She has been reading the whole Bible through and in September accepted Rudi’s invitation to come to our worship assembly for the first time. Actually, Jim’s death was her very first “church” experience. Since she lives about 1 ½ hours south of here by train, she thought she would try to come once a month, but after a couple of visits, she started coming weekly. One Sunday I asked her if she had questions and that led to a telephone Bible study which has now become a Monday evening appointment. I believe Simone is not at all far from the Kingdom. Please pray for her. Getting to share the Gospel with someone who wants to hear it is certainly the very best therapy for me, too!

Thanks again for your prayers and your caring. Gott mit euch!

Your fellow servant,
Elsa
