Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ at WBC,
This is a good time to wish you all a very blessed Christmas season and a Happy New Year at the same time, as it is coming closer very quickly, unbelievable how time flies. But the main reason for writing is of course to let you know how much we appreciate your continued prayer and practical support, for which we are so thankful. Words fail to express our deeply felt appreciation and we can only ask the Lord God almighty to bless and reward WBC for their help. We are in the last years of our lives and wonder at times how much time we have left, but in the mean time we continue to rejoice in the Lord and seek to serve Him as best as we can with the physical limitations of age. I am speaking in Cambridge this Sunday and, Lord willing, will be speaking here at WBC on Sunday, the 29th of this month. I am very much looking forward to that and would appreciate your prayers for the Lord’s blessing. Marina is quite weak much of the time and can’t do very much, but she still has contact with Belgium and other folk. Lord willing, we hope to have our family, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren from Belgium and England here sometime next year.
Loving greetings,
Richard and Marina.
