Dear Brethren:

The year 2006 has been a good year for Betty and me. Betty's physical health has been pretty good, but her memory problem still continues to decline. She still knows who I am most of the time, and even when she doesn't she will permit me to care for her as if she did know. She can still put on her shoes, and sometimes even gets them on the right feet, and I am unable to untie the knots she ties. We are doing just great and looking for the Lord's blessings in 2007.

For several years I have been praying to the Lord for more missionaries and funds to support them. The Lord has called several quality young families to go to the mission field that may be looking to Baptist Faith Missions for financial support, but at this time BFM does not have these funds. I know the Lord has the funds, but He has not yet told me what my part is in raising these, and I would like to see as many as the Lord called be supported through Baptist Faith Missions.

Almost four years ago when Betty and I became members of First Baptist Church here in Science Hill, Kentucky, the church had not supported Baptist Faith Missions, but soon started in a small offering each month. A couple of years ago we decided to use the Faith Promise Plan to raise fifteen thousand dollars and raised several thousand dollars that was divided between all the missionaries supported by First Baptist. This past year we did reach our goal of fifteen thousand dollars. Now, I believe that if each church would get some kind of plan and then work and promote the plan, there would be enough funds to support as many missionaries as the Lord would raise up, and also raise the salaries of those we already support, and that raise is long overdue. If a small church like First Baptist can do it, I believe all churches can. Please join us in this great work.

In His Name,

Bobby D. Creiglow
