January 2009

Dear Partners and Friends,

We wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year! We declare this year 2009 to be a year of blessing and favor for you and your family.

We are happy to report that our trip to the UK and Myanmar went very well. Thank you for your gifts and prayers toward this trip. We returned two weeks before Christmas and were able to spend the holidays with family.

It was a very special time to be reunited with our friends and coworkers in Myanmar and the UK. We were able to go to England, Ireland and Scotland and then off to Singapore and Myanmar. Our time in Thailand had to be cancelled because of the trouble at Bangkok airport. This caused us to have to believe God to even get out of Myanmar and back to Singapore to make our connecting flights. God was faithful and we were able to purchase the last two seats on the last
flight that would allow us to make our connection.

In Myanmar we saw the progress in the rebuilding of our headquarters and homes and rejoice with them in the love and faithfulness of God. We thank God that we were able to help and be a part of bringing aid. Roger and Mary both spoke at the Bible School and were blessed to see
the students hunger for the things of God. These young people are eager to go out and do the work of the ministry, teaching, preaching and establishing churches.

We also went to Taunyggi and spoke at the church and Training Center. On Thanksgiving Day while we were speaking at the center the children from the Nazareth Children's Home took the day off of school because we were there. They all crowed onto a bus and came to see us. It
brought Mary to tears to see them pour off the bus and rush to greet us. Roger had to explain that it was tears of joy to see them. After the meeting the ministry prepared a meal for all the people,
children and visiting pastors and we all ate together. It was a very special Thanksgiving Day.

The highlight of our trip was to visit the Nazareth Children's Home and to see the new home for the high school children. This home was built in memory of Roger's father Robert King. It is a large building to house the children with a sewing workshop to teach the girls a skill. They make bags and Bible covers from traditional fabric and sell them at a local shop.

We were overjoyed to see how much has been accomplished in a few years. The children are healthy and happy and serving the Lord. One of the older girls that finished school is now going to Bible School. We want to say a special thank you to our partners for this great opportunity to be a part of changing the children's lives from hopelessness to blessing and a hope for the future. We were deeply touched by their love and gratitude.

UPCOMING MEETINGS:
Arizona: January 9-14
Texas: February 14- March 1
Florida: March 3-8

In His service,

Roger and Mary King
