a word to those who pray for us...

Dear Friends in Christ,  

16 March 1993

We were expecting to send our next prayer letter from Papua New Guinea, but, I (Lenore) actually ended up carrying this one with me to the USA and am mailing it from here.

A few days ago, while still in Papua New Guinea, I heard from my brother and sister that my mother Ione Jacobs has a brain tumor. She is currently undergoing radiation treatment, but it appears that the tumor is inoperable. After praying about the situation Bill and I decided that I should come back to the USA to spend some time with my mother during this crisis. Bill, Joel and Jason are still in Papua New Guinea at Ukarumpa.

We would appreciate your prayers that the Lord’s grace would enable me to be a blessing to my mother and our family. Some members of my family do not know the Lord. Also pray for Bill, Joel and Jason back in Papua New Guinea.

I am staying with our friends Marvin and Jerry Thiel in the Long Beach area. If you should like to contact me while I’m in the USA I can be reached at (310) 426-4072. I expect to be in the USA for about a month and then return to Papua New Guinea on April 18th, but that will depend on how my mother is doing at that time.

Thank you for standing by us during this time.

The Lord will protect you from all danger; he will keep you safe. He will protect you as you come and go now and for ever. Psalm 121:7-8.

Yours in the Love of our Matchless Lord,

Lenore Martin (for Bill and the family)
