Dear praying Friends and Family!
Thank you for praying for us and for my brother’s family, as everyone is grieving the loss of Michael G. Carder. He passed away early on December 24th, at the age of 68, after battling leukemia, fungal pneumonia, and a (non-covid) virus infection.
He will be greatly missed.
We spend Christmas in Cornelius, NC, with Karen’s brothers Gordon Engle, and Doug Engle, and are planning to head back to Kansas, Lord willing, on January 5th. Please pray for travel mercies & safety on the road.
Also, please pray for the many “unknowns” & challenges that are ahead of us. We rely on the Lord to help & guide us…
On a different note: our team at home in the Philippines, had a kid’s club a week ago, and over 170 kids showed up! All were fed and took a 11lbs bag of rice home! And this amidst a strong typhoon going through the south area of Mindanao! This storm caused some rain and strong winds over the island, but everything went well! Praise the Lord!
Please continue to pray for our team and the ministry there on Romblon Island!
Thanks for praying with us and for us!
In Him!
Patrick and Karen
