minus40 report
This newsletter is a bit different in that I need to provide vital address changes and news. I do want to first express thanks to the Lord for his blessings and safety on our furlough. We have 3 new supporting churches so far and was recently informed a fourth church will add us to their mission family very soon. That makes four out of six. The remaining two churches have indicated they desire to support us but financial constraints are delaying their doing so.
Canadian supporter should take note of the support address change. Please send your support to
PNBM-CA
163 Pine Valley Drive, Unit 16
London, ON N6J4R1
Nothing about PNBM-CA has changed except the books and banking will be done in London ON by a professional. Any questions about this change may be directed to me personally or Bro. Gary Forney at 867-777-3360.
There are no changes for PNBM-USA and American support.
We have a cell phone that can be used to reach us while on furlough whether we are in Canada or the US. It is 907-347-7993. You can text us as well if you prefer. Yes, I know I said “text”. Old dog, new trick. Miracles never cease.
Below are some praises to report:
Vehicle repair/maintenance:
4 – LT 265/75R/16 load range “E” all-season tires – Need met by a Canadian church
Front windshield – Need met by a Christian businessman
Aluminum diamond plating for the front of our Camper that was damaged due to traveling on gravel roads. – Need met personally
New heater core and related parts – Need met by Canadian churches
Tools/equipment:
SPOT 2 Satellite Messenger (emergency locator device) – Funds provided by an assistant pastor
Antenna for a Marine Radio – Need met personally
Expenses:

Additional blessings
We have had an electric fireplace and mantle given to us by a wonderful church in Hagerstown, Maryland.
Many good love offerings have sustained us.
Alaskan churches and friends met our needs over and over again this past summer.
I purchased a new parka with a financial gift from a friend.
Last but not least, we have seen several come to Christ in the services where I preached. Several have been challenged by the messages and I am honoured to be used by our Lord.
Please pray for continued safety as we travel, and for our truck to endure the rigors of furlough. We have traveled 28,706KM or 17,837miles since leaving Inuvik in June. Also, Angie will be going to college this January and we hope you will pray for her and Lois and I as we officially become empty nesters.
Thank you so much for your faithful prayers and support. We are truly thankful and recognize the difficult financial times we live in. Your support is seriously appreciated and considered precious.
We also want to wish each one of you the best over this CHRISTmas season.
Steve, Lois, and Angie Donley
