New Year Memories 
January 1, 2011, I will never forget Matt Newton’s first night with us. We were having New Years meeting at the church before the wild fireworks – He was going to be impressive & use Lithuanian… The only problem was… Matt knew NO Lithuanian. So he ask Tyler how to say Praise the Lord… Tyler, being the sweet child he is, told him to say… Užsičiaupk … So Matt not knowing stood up with his hands raised and shouted Užsičiaupk = Shut Up! LOL Everyone roared with laughter!!!
Then we had the grand idea to walk to the center of Vilnius, City Hall & watch the fireworks… Not a good idea. Let’s just say fireworks and alcohol do NOT mix. They were shooting off the REALLY big ones when a really waisted guy decided it wasn’t interesting enough… So he walks over and kicks one over right after it had been lit. People were running everywhere! I looked around and Tony was climbing out of a huge pile of snow… He had dove in for safety! LOL Not funny then, but definitely funny now. Thank the Lord for protection from the very beginning of the year and for ALL His goodness!
Tonight we spent the evening with friends. We enjoyed a nice time of fellowship and then we exited the old & entered the New Year with thanksgiving & prayer. (love this) Then the fireworks from our own yard. (We
love watching the neighbors fireworks lol
Happy New Year! We love and appreciate you all! Let’s expect GREATER things this year!

Good Morning
I was sitting here drinking my tea, reflecting on this past weeks & month… And getting ready for the day. And what a great day it is going to be with Bible Studies, meetings and planning.
This past month has held some fun and exciting surprises. A couple we had been reaching contacted us and wanted to be baptized a week ago on Friday. We absolutely love this couple and all the people God has sent to us. They are willing to help reach and minister to others. Right now, That’s what we need.
We have some really exiting things coming up on the calender that we would like you to help us pray about:
Sept 30, Singing in the Nursing Home. I have been invited to a neighboring city to sing for the elderly. I am really looking forward to this opportunity to minister.
Sept 25, We are beginning our friends day again. Our church is excited. Help us pray that God will move in an incredible way.
December 19 Will be our Christmas Concert. We are praying that God will continue to give us favor with the government officials. As of today we are scheduled to sing in City Hall. This is considered to be a very prestigious location and what an incredible opportunity .
With all the growth… We need help. There are several ways you can contribute.
Prayers: We can’t get enough.
Financially: As the church grows… So do the expenses. Right now we NEED more room. We are already hosting two services on Sunday and both are almost full.
Come: Could use a little help here…
We have so many other things and ministries that are in motion even now that I don’t have time to go into, but we ask that you continually keep us in your prayers.
Also, as always we want to remind you. YOU are a part of this ministry. Thank you for your prayers and support. We love you and will try to keep you updated. Watch for our emails and opportunities to share in what God is doing in Lithuania.
