Dearest Friends and long-time Supporters,
We are writing today to tell you about what has been happening
in our lives, to share our future plans with you, and to celebrate
with you the worldwide blessings of Christmas.
Joyous and healing events have kept us focused on the Lord’s
Grace and the encouragement of friends like you:
- The birth of our first grandchild, Josiah Caleb Moltz, occurred
the day after we arrived in New York from Zimbabwe.
- Bob had successful back surgery on August 31st and is healing
nicely, rejoicing at being without severe pain.
- Bobbi has been getting weekly aggressive physical therapy
for her back problems.
- Bob had benign prostate surgery on November 29 and is healing
day by day.
During these last few months in the States, it has been our job
to continue to communicate with our partners in Africa, assist
in the orientation and training of our replacements on the field,
interpret the mission to churches in the United States, and to
get well.
Our African friends have taught us much about the faithfulness
of God in the everyday life of finding food, shelter, and wholeness
through humble obedience to the Lord.
Evelyn Underhill once wrote about being faithful in the ordinary.
She spoke of the Magi, “who, through the normal course of
their lives were taught by the heavens to follow a star; and it
brought them, not to a paralyzing disclosure of the Transcendent
but to a little boy on his mother’s knee.”
We pray that our lives might be humble and faithful in the little
things of life so that our great God can demonstrate His faithfulness
in ways of His own choosing. Our future is uncertain, but we know
that our time with Worldwide Ministries will end January 31. As
of January 1, 2006, we will be living at
1937 Gaston Street
Winston-Salem, NC. 27103
