GLORY!

What are we still lacking? Money. I wish that there was a differ-ent way of saying this but we are still about $850,000 short ofseeing our quality builder, Ausland Builders, press on to comple-tion to allow us to move in. What a day of rejoicing that will be!I know that you will be there to celebrate with us but justnot yet. Pray to that end, wont you? So many men are depend-ing upon you through us.

What a privilege it is to be your repre-sentatives in this wonderful work of Res-cue. Thank you for entrusting to us thishonor. We were grieved but joyful over the

Home-going of a longtime resident,

Robert Grosser; Huntingtons Dis-ease is a great evil. His body andsoul are now free. How privilegedwe were to be part of a warm-hearted memorial at Roberts caringhome church, Calvary Lutheran.

Another resident just found out thathe has liver cancer. He will soon be-gin chemo. Pray for Rod that his con-fidence will remain strong in Christ.

In Grants Pass, we are caught up inthe middle of a political hurricane.May the Lord superintend the proc-ess in order that the increasing ten-sions will not negatively impact theMissions financial stability and abil-ity to extend care to the truly needy.

We are pleased to have a young man,Evan Daggett, now heading up ourPublic Relations efforts. Pray for himand his dear wife, pregnant withtheir first child, due the first of Janu-

ary. May the Lord overwhelmingly bless

in the needed funding to finish Wag-ner Hall. May we be bold in our ef-forts to find additional funding butdoing that with a humble and thank-ful spirit. What a day of rejoicing itwill be when we gather together todedicate this building for His gloryand use. Yes, Lord Jesus.

Straight Talk About Wills

If you die without a will or another such document,the state will decide how to disburse your estate.And if you have minor children, the state will decidewho will raise them. If you want to leave certain as-sets to specific persons or make charitable gifts tovarious causes, without a will, the state will follow itsown agenda and disregard yours.

You dont need all the answers to get a will started.You can start with what you know and makechanges and/or additions as you progress. Better tohave something workable in place than nothing at all.

Whatever it is that you need todo, please, do it now. Call yourFinancial Planner, your attorneyor call us at 476-0082 and, to-gether, we might be able to helpyoubut just do it!
