We hope your Christmas and New Year was a blessed one!
We would like to just share Saturday, December 17 we drove to Bremerton to sing at Abraham's House. There was lot's of
excitment because a few stores had donated over $4,000 of new items. Clothes and Christmas decorations and more.
People shared their stories with us. Tyna Munger, who together with her husband Jeff lead this great ministry, shared some
real great truths in the service. There is a wonderful place called Heaven, but there is also a horrible place called hell and you
need to decide today. And that day as she often says "You could walk out these doors and drop dead in the parking lot. Do
you know where you will spend eternity?"
Later the next week we received an e-mail from Tyna sharing with us that just after she said goodbye to us, someone came
and got her and said that a lady had collapsed in the parking lot. She went over to pray for her, but it was too late. The lady
had passed away! We hope that she accepted Christ that day. It really shows how much we need to ALWAYS giver people an
opportunity to accept Jesus has their personal Savior. It spoke volumes to my heart. What have you got to lose?
On another note we have a special prayer request for the ministry. Our van was declared "Totaled" by our insurance. It was
bittersweet to say goodbye to it. We did get money from our insurance and Paul is now looking for another van. Please pray
that we will find just the right one and one that is in our price range. We have looked at several but either they are not in
good condition, not the right price, etc. We really need an answer to prayer in this area, so we can back in full swing. If you
might know of any one that has a Conversion Van (or bus - that's the big faith) that they don't need or want to get rid of,
please let us know. God has been faithful, and we know he will continue to be. Thank you for your prayers.
On a personal note.......I have had some prayers answered. I am also amazed how God still answers even when I am
doubting or worried. God has truly blessed us this Christmas Season, and we give Him all of the glory. As I look back on this
year, oh yes, it was a tough one! But I have learned that the scripture that says, " And God shall supply all our needs,
according to His riches in glory" is true. It doesn't say all of our wants, but He does say He will give us the desire of our
hearts. The word of God this year has truly become alive to me as written in the song we sing "Deep Hope". His promises are
true, if we just believe. Paul and I did a funeral service for some dear friends last week that lost his father. He shared John
3:16, if you just believe, you can be saved! It was perfect for that group of people. The simple gospel message is all that
people need.
If you would like to support the Gamlens our PO Box is listed below. If you know of an event or church that would like to have
a group like ours, please contact us at the e-mails below. We continue to pray for open doors. I believe that time is running
out and there is an urgency to proclaim Christ and to encourage the saints.
Thank you for your prayers and gifts this year! We do not take any of it lightly.
May 2012 be another amazing year to serve our Lord!
