Prayer Letter (November/December 2011)

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
  • Moved again and Documents turned in

We have had to move again, as our former landlord’s deed was tied up in some kind of law suit. As you may recall, we were unable to register our place of dwelling, and where thus unable to proceed with applying for permanent residency. We had no choice but to move again. By law we had to register where we were living and because of the longevity of our ministry here we also needed to apply for permanent residency.

Our new apartment is a little smaller than the other, but it is well laid out, which makes up for the lack of space. We are quite comfortable, but even more important, we were able to register and turn in our documents for residency! Now we just have to wait for an answer. We should know something by the end of April.
  • Black light chalk
By the grace of God I am still making attempts at teaching the children’s ministry in Russian. I have tried to make use of chalk and black light chalk in some of these lessons. The children had never seen black light chalk before and were quite amazed. What is more important is that it helped to communicate the lesson. With each lesson they are coming closer to a correct understanding of the Bible, and God’s message of salvation.
  • Growth in Shila

We are excited to report that we are seeing growth in the ministry in the village of Shila. We are working together with missionary Duane Hearron and family to try to rejuvenate this ministry. For a long time we have only had one elderly lady coming (who has been a wonderful blessing.) in our last service we had eleven in attendance besides our missionary families. To God be the glory!

  • Blog

I have launched a blog about our ministry. Through this blog we will post new information and photos about our ministry and family. Our prayer letters will also be posted there in addition to the Points North web site. If you would like, on the blog page, you may request an email notification of any new updates posted on the blog. Of course, we will continue to send out a hard copy of our letters. You can find the blog at: www.thedeanfamilybulletin.blogspot.com



In Christ,
