A new coat for a New Year

We want to wish you all a Happy New Year. May God's blessings rest upon you and yours.

2008 brought significant transition to our family. The boys and Liane came off the road in the fall for the sake of their education. We sold our house and moved the crew to the land of our calling, Montreal, Quebec. I got to spend two weeks at Christmas home with them and am looking forward to being their full time soon.

I'm now in the Mass./ Rhode Island district and will be traveling from here in two weeks to Connecticut and then Pennsylvania. We love you all and are thankful for your continued prayers and support!

Allow me to share a thought the Lord put in my spirit.

Samuel was given to the Lord and His service by his Mom, Hannah. After moving into the house of the Lord she would bring him a new coat every year. Each year brought growth and change and thus the need for new apparel that fit the new time he was in.

The Lord in the latter part of Luke encouraged his disciples to tarry until they were "endued" with power from on high. Interestingly, the word endued could be translated, "clothed" and means to put on like a garment.

I remember an elder saying once, that in every transition it is time for a fresh anointing. A fresh touch of the Holy Ghost for a new time in your life. A new coat for a new year!
We all face challenges in this time unlike any we have ever faced but I'm glad to tell you, my friends, that the Lord has the spiritual resource to meet everyone of those challenges.

It's time to put on Christ afresh. A new coat for a New Year!

Liane and I love and appreciate you!
