Dear Praying Friends,

I hope this letter finds each of you excited to start a new year as we look back on what God has done in the past.  As of this time last year we had visited 41 churches, covered 18,999 miles, made 1126 boomerangs and raised 15% of our needed support. God has truly given the increase. What is also exciting for us is that we start this new year applying for our visas and making the necessary arrangements for our departure. What we have prayed and worked for is now becoming a reality. Thank you for your prayers in this matter.

The next few months of 2008 will be inherently more complicated, yet we look forward to them with great anticipation. we are able to face them with great confidence because we know our God and we know you are praying for us.

God's miraculous provision once again....When we began deputation the Lord provided for us a little 1997 VW Golf with 124,000 miles on the odometer. We purchased this vehicle for 1/3 of its actual value through the generosity of a family friend. We than ran it up to 238,000 miles. we soon realized with a second child on the way that although the car was perfect in every other area it did lack space. My wife and I discussed this on a Sunday. The very next day I received an offer I could not refuse. A co-worker said he liked my car so much he would take an even trade for his. What was his? A 1997 VW Jetta with 106,000 miles on the odometer. Same color, same year, same interior, same drive train. The difference? It is a four door with a large trunk and 132,000 miles less on the odometer. Praise the Lord.

Jen's due date is February 11th. She continues to do well with traveling, but even though our new car is bigger I still do not want to deliver a baby in it.. Those who's paths we cross that do not know Christ as their Savior, we will be issuing a special report soon to ask your help in praying for each of these individuals that we hope to reach before our departure. We still need between 15 to 20 new churches to partner with us financially before our departure.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God-  Psalm 20:7

  Sincerely,
Patrick, Jen, & Autumn Bauer
