  • 1,011 letters hand written to friends and supporters (49 were typed letters to my mother)
  • 6:9-11 (KJV) and let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
  • 4:9-11 (NIV) offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.  Each of you shall use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.  If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God.  If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.  To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Yes, we love our job - Pastoral Care for CAM missionaries!
