Thank you for your prayers!!

Hi All,
My trip to New England and Central NY went well. Thank you for the prayers. On Sabbath the 11th I spoke at Waterford, CT, and Rockville, RI. It was good to see friends and make new ones.
Nov 14-15, I met with pastors gathered in Verona, NY, for their bi-monthly (during the school year) session. Ten pastors from Allegheny, Central New York and Eastern Associations were present (plus me). At least 3 were unable to attend. There was a time to watch a sermon on CD and discuss content and presentation. There was a time to share how ministry was going for each, and a time to pray. And there was discussion about where church members lived and were there groupings that might develop into Bible Studies, Sabbath Schools or churches.
Sabbath Nov 18, found me in Springfield, MA, meeting with the branch of the NY City (Brooklyn) SDB Church. It was a great time of worship and fellowship and a good time of sharing about SDB ministries and getting to know Pastor Livingston better.
The next day I was back in RI, and on the radio answering questions about the Center on Ministry during the 4 hours that Vision Christian Fellowship has Sunday from 11am-3pm.
In the goings and comings 7 pastors, in addition to those in Verona were contacted face to face.
A special thanks is extended to those who were gracious hosts. I was able to see the progress on the addition to the Meetinghouse in Berlin, NY, visit the Pine Street Gospel Chapel (not on Sabbath), visit with friends in Eastern NY, and stay with my folks in Westerly, RI for a couple of days. (A bonus was being there to help celebrate my mom's birthday).
Thank you again for your prayers.
