Dear Friends,

We all greeted this year with hope that prosperous days lay ahead for us, our nation, and the world because of unprecedented American economic times. Unfortunately, 'unprecedented' alone seems to be the single characteristic of this year worldwide! Still, we've got much biblical cause to hope for spiritual prosperity.

2020 CHALLENGED CT LIVING— In America just about everything we've taken for granted has been cracked with uncertainty– Socializing, business work days, shopping, holiday celebrations, peaceful life in the city and the countryside, and even church gatherings. It seems, as Christmas approaches this year, our need has never been greater for the Prince of Peace!

Isa.9:6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Is it not significant that we have as the conclusion of this verse "Prince of Peace?" 1) With government crushing down upon us, how comforting to know He governs from His shoulder with Power and Authority! 2)How unique to know His Wonderful name is ONE AND ONLY! 3) Without a perfect Counselor we can never know the right walk that can assure peace without taking a path avoiding sin! 4) When evil threatens with consuming destructive power ushering in clouds of fear everywhere, it cannot remain in the presence of Mighty God! 5) When the Evil One threatens family life from every corner of even in or outside the home, then Our Everlasting Father resolves every ray of darkness! HALLELUJAH then comes the time for the Prince of Peace reigning in the Father's Kingdom. And our tears on earth are all wiped away(Rev.7:17; 21:4) Oh the power of His Word to calm our threatened, fearful, anxious hearts by His consuming power.

Let us pray for our beloved children born into this cursed world to have Peace now and ears to hear the TRUTH of our God for their Day of Salvation (2 Cor 6:2)

Zec 8:4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. 5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.

Business Challenges and blessings – We have like other businesses lost accounts. Yet, we have increased work on a few accounts from the blessing of God due to the pandemic.

After only 8 years for our 2012 new truck our engine failed inside and had to be replaced. We are very grateful for a local highly skilled mechanic's garage who could replace it.

Church blessings – Early this year Truth Baptist completed and received it's Certificate of Occupancy – ironically – about the time we needed extra space for social distancing! Land for a parking lot we long sought-after was made available too!

Mary Davis Copes with Joy Over Covid in SW HAITI

Mary's witness at last report said 14 Ministerial groups and churches saw 107 profess Christ at the 12 month delayed Les Cayes city-wide Evangelism in spite of a pandemic lock-down in the Southwest Haitian city of 125,000. People were offered New Testaments, tracts, friendly discussion, and a bottle of water. They got Living Water as well! Thanks for your prayers for her. Https://www.aprayernotebook.net/each1helps1

Some Lanyon Family Focus

Patrick has been receiving Visceral Massage from a local Chiropractor and exercises briefly nightly on his rebounder and back support exercises for the lowest part of his spine. He has been riding his bike many miles all over local roads and trips to church during the summer having seen CT in lock-down restrictions. He always has a pocket full of his tracts to give out. He has enjoyed reading a devotional of New Testament by Dr. Ed Nelson called "My Morning Manna." Regularly he has tract-
giving opportunities(thanks to God). He is available to pinch hit for David or Joseph when they require it. (But they have restricted themselves from asking him much, really!)

Christine has been blessed by her giving heart. When God sends gifts
our way, they are immediately shared and she sees His part in the
timing of it all.

David & Joseph Cleaning Team

Many clients from last year in our Carpet Cleaning arm of the business
are repeating their work orders. Joseph has faithfully driven and
cleaned with David. Often we have received compliments at how
beautifully they work together. Clients and church folk have told us
often that each has a very sweet spirit.

David loves, really, to do computer repair. He works for a panoply of
clients from all of our networks, from church, to neighbors, to business
clients. It could be a laptop, phone, tablet, or full desktop. Of course that is not to mention modems, game devices, and even remote control units for TV, radios, and sound systems. David helps anybody in church who needs technical computer needs, or even furniture moving. Joseph's greatest passion is still being a sensitive servant to church ministry and friends, and he truly excels at bicycling repairs. Also with his camera-phone he takes breath-taking photos of parks and landscapes, and he posts regularly to social networks.

We are so very thankful for your prayers and for the grace of God to us all.

May God richly bless you. Love, from Pat, Chris, David, & Joseph Lanyon
