| Yoshie & Pastor Mateus Nanbu |
Dear Dale,
Your church family have been praying for your safety. You're certainly missed at Ordot Church. We missed your children's stories. The church has grown bigger, there are church members that you never met before. We are very busy with a November evangelistic series "Life After Death" which starts this coming Sabbath. Hope you were here to help us in the preparation and all.
God bless you always!
Pastor Nanbu and your church family
"The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long and he shall dwell between his shoulders." Deueronomy 33:12
Thank you Pastor Nanbu for this beautiful e'card that you sent to Dale.
TESTIMONIES OF PRAYER
examples of our LORD at work during wartime
"The rain was coming down hard and fast, so thick we could barely make out the desert landscape ahead of us. It went on for days. The rain continued to poud us relentlessly until we finally neared the Kuwaiti border. Our battalion halted. On the other side the enemy waited. Rain or no rain, we'd soon be going in. We awoke on the day of the invasion to clear skies and glorious sunshine. As we closed in on the border, I couldn't help but stare at the astounding sight before us. The torrential rains I had prayed to God to stop had washed away the sand to reveal metal discs planted all across the path. It was an Iraqi minefield."

"... So I prayed, 'God... you've got to do something.' There was an open field, we had to get across somehow, but it was going to expose us to the enemy. And they were firing. Somehow, from out of nowhere, came this white cloud and surrounded us and we all made it across safely. Found out later there was this old prayer warrior at our church, Mrs. Tankersly, which God had woken up in the middle of the night and said, 'Spencer's in trouble, pray for him right now.' And the last part of her prayer was, 'God whatever danger Spencer is in, just cover him with a cloud.' That's exactly what He did."

"My teacher asked my class to write a letter to an unknown soldier in the gulf. It was a very special project for me because my daddy was also a soldier. So I told my unkown soldier what I wanted to tell my daddy... that his family missed him, loved him, and was praying for him. I wondered if any soldier would even get my letter and then I got a letter back. I couldn't believe it - I knew the handwriting on it! And somehow, with all the soldier letters sent by kids across the country, mine had been sent to my very own father. I still prayed for him every night, but I felt certain that God was watching over my dad."- Karen Fiorella (at age 10)

"There are thousands of people who pray for me. It's a humbling experience to think that people I will never have met have lifted me and my family up in prayer. It's been a comforting feeling to know that is true."
- President George W. Bush
