“Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.” 1 Chronicles 28:10 (NKJV)
The highlight of the month of November was spending a week on the Continental Baptist Missions build site in Florida as a family. During the week we had the privilege of spending individual time with each family on site. Some of them are full-time missionaries and some are Nehemiah builders, but they have been chosen by God to build and have stories of how God has worked in and through them. Even though there have been times of trials they have remained strong and are doing the work God has called them to. We have found that pre-field ministry is not easy, but their stories and words encouraged us to keep serving during the time God has placed us in this ministry.
One of our prayers was that each of the children would be able to spend some time helping daddy on the site. It was amazing for us to watch how God answered. Amanda and Luke each got to help with moving dirt, Nathanael and Luke both helped with some vacuuming jobs and Rebekah helped with wire ties. The original plan was to pour the concrete after we left, but God allowed everything to fall into place for a Thursday morning pour. We greatly enjoyed our time on the build site and are eagerly waiting for the day God allows us to be on the field full time.
Our youngest, Rebekah, turned four this month and we celebrated with a strawberry monster cake. We also ministered at First Baptist Church in Yarmouth, IA. As we look toward the end of the year we want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We thank you for reading our newsletter, praying for us, encouraging us and supporting us in various ways!
Fulfilling the great commission together,
Brian, Brenda, Amanda, Luke, Nathanael and Rebekah Krueger
