Dear Pastor, Church, and All Supporters;
(Psalms 139:23-22) “ Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
I trust that this will find each of you prospering in the LORD’S will, and growing in HIS grace.
I wanted to send this short report out to inform each of you and notify all of my plans and intentions whilst being here in the USA.
Firstly, I do have some ‘good news’ from a far country – when we departed Malawi, the shipping container was packed and ready for dispatch, however there have been some delays with Customs (as there always is) in these countries… none the less, it is GOD Jehovah who holds the hearts of the kings, and sets up kingdoms and removes them. Therefore after much communications with emails, documents, and telephone calls it seems that all is in order. I have been informed that the Container is to be loaded today (time will tell)!
There are two men who are employed with the mission who stayed behind to watch the “stuff”, until the transporter drives away with the container loaded, at which time they will also depart Blantyre and go to the Mission property.
Secondly, I wish to inform each of you that I am taking some time to readjust to the ‘American’ way of life, and to spend some time with family. I will be spending some ‘quality’ time with my wife and home church this time around. I have not in past years been in a position to do this, and feel that it is now time for me to tend to this.
I will be making a schedule to visit supporting churches before I depart for the mission field again, therefore I am making it public knowledge – IF you as the Pastor of a supporting church, would like for me to come by for a visit, then you will need to communicate with me Via email (panagioite04@gmail.com; / or panagioite04@gmail.com) or call me on my new mobile number [903.422.6199]. If you cannot reach me, then you should contact my Pastor, Bro. Steve Fulton.
If, in the case of a church without a pastor, then the one who is filling the capacity of a ‘spiritual leader’ should make the contact. Further to this, if someone who may read this report is a member of a non-supporting church of (i.e., Missionary Peter A Halliman, and or the mission work I am involved in) have an interest in I coming by to present the work in view of support then I will make an effort to come by.
In view of upcoming expenses regarding the transition to PNG from Malawi, and also travelling expenses within the USA, I will make note to this end – when I make a attentive itinerary to visit churches and notify you with a date, I will be flexible to some degree, however I will make the most of my time and energy whilst in that geographical area. If the church cannot come together at a date agreed upon, then I will need to move on and take care of business.
I will ask that each of you, who receive this report, if you are a pastor then please share it with the church, if you are a member of a supporting church, please remind each other and your pastor of this opportunity.
I know the year is starting to get busy, and I know that many of you fill in your calendar months in advance – therefore, before this month has expired, I will ask that if you have a desire for us to come by, then contact me as I have stated and we will go from there.
I will send this ‘notice’ this one time only, I had to purchase a new mobile phone and do not have many of your telephone numbers as I did before, therefore I am simply asking that if you want or need to speak with me, you may call me on the number I listed above.
I want to thank each of you for your prayers, love offerings and sacrificial giving to the work whereunto we have been called.
May our LORD keep each of you in HIS will, shine upon your life, and bles
