Mission Senegal - Update

In recent weeks FIVE more souls were filled with the Holy Ghost ~ including this girl (pictured above being prayed for by our daughter Jessica) who was only FIVE years old.

Just over one week ago, Brother Sully baptized 3 more souls in Jesus' name! It is exciting to see what God is doing in so many lives!

During November, we attended and helped out in a wedding at one of our local churches! We are privileged to impart spiritual blessing and direction in people's lives in so many different ways!
There is no better way to start a life together than by prayer!!

EVERY thing we do, is to reach EVERY soul in EVERY generation ~ from the youngest to the oldest. We have been diligently working on French literature that will help win many new souls to the Kingdom!! THANKS for making this possible!!

From Georgia with Love

 

Merry Christmas
Wishing you and your family a warm remembrance.

December is the time of year we put special attention on the birth of Jesus Christ. Many this time of year will cry out about "Paganism" and blah...blah...blah... Well, I'm not here to have a discussion on the validity of the holiday, but rather the gratitude of the holiday. We want to express our gratitude first to Jesus Christ, and secondly to you. This will be the last Christmas in Georgia that we will have for a while. As you know we are entering in to the fourth year of our term. Time has gone so fast. Its hard to believe three years have already gone. Thank you for making all of this possible, and as the song says "We want to wish you a merry Christmas from the bottom of our hearts"...

We love and appreciate all of you. Merry Christmas from us to you.

Tbilisi lights up for the holiday season. 

The real reason we celebrate this season.

"GET IN THE BOAT" was the theme during this month's crusades on Pohnpei, FSM (left), Saipan, CNMI (right), and Guam, USA. The genuine article lifeboat Mike and Vickie Oliver brought with them was an appropriate object lesson tool to relate to all our beautiful Micronesia and Mariana islanders! What a time we had! After the Olivers ministered over ten days, the Lord filled 107 souls with the precious Holy Ghost! left  Our gracious hosts (Pohnpei) Pastor Loriano Martin/family with the Olivers. below left Children offer the Olivers a warm island welcome. below GET IN THE BOAT! right Vickie Oliver and Kelley with Widow Williams who, with her husband, the late Rev.

Thankful

Last month we celebrated our Canadian Thanksgiving and this month we celebrate, with our friends, their American Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for.

Enjoying Grampy & Nanny's Visit

We are thankful that Grampy & Nanny Sisco could come visit for a couple of weeks. It was a special time and we enjoyed having them. One of the forever memories was the baptism of Allanah and Stephen while they were here.

Baptized in Jesus Name!

Our hearts are full! 3 John 4 says, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." What a privilege it was to baptize both Allanah and Stephen in Jesus name for the remission of their sins. We are truly thankful.

Radio Ministry
Currently, we have two pastors seeing tremendous results through radio ministry.

3 Preaching points
25 baptized in Jesus name

Thank you Partners In Missions for your faithfulness. You have given us the privilege to serve God in Ghana. We are thankful to you and it is our prayer that God continues to bless you and keep you by his power. Your support make missions in Ghana possible for the Sisco family. Happy Thanksgiving!

The Start of a New Chapter
 

 After deputation ended mid-August, we traveled to Texas and Arizona to spend time with family and to pack and send off our supplies to Uganda! What a job that was! We were glad to get that job done.  We enjoyed final days with the family.

We give special thanks to our oldest son, Justin and his wife, Tara, who helped us prepare for departure. Also, special thanks to our Arizona friends for all they did to help make things easier.

We arrived on October 11, 2013, early Friday morning welcomed by Missionaries Rev. Phil and Twyla Tolstad and many helpers to help with the tubs!  We truly appreciate all they have done to help us get settled in... THANK YOU!

Special thanks to Doctrine Seminar Supporters:
 

Mount Elgon Seminar
 

Our first trip into the bush was to the Mount Elgon Region near the Kenyan border. Special guest from Texas, Rev. Stephen Harris, was the Seminar preacher. Missionary Tolstad and Phelps taught doctrinal studies to the pastors, members and visitors. 43 received the Holy Ghost and 22 were baptized in Jesus Name!  Exciting Times!

West Nile Region
 

We travelled into the bush of the West Nile Region to the District of Adjumani working with Bro. Robert, the presbyter, and had a Sub-Regional Meeting! 25 filled with Holy Ghost and 10 baptized in Jesus Name!

Over 30 received the Holy Ghost in the Headquarters church the month of October! Rejoicing in what the Lord has done!

"How then how then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach, except they be sent" - Romans 10:15
