Mission Report for December and January

Dear Pastors, Churches and Family,

Flagstaff Snowstorm Feb 2009

The year 2010 has ended and we are looking at the new year with the eyes and heart of missionaries anxious to be on the field. We had planned to be in Flagstaff in the fall of 2010 but the heart scare delayed us by several months. Moving to Flagstaff while living in a travel trailer during the winter months is not wise, so we will wait awhile. Flagstaff averages over 100 inches of snow each year and the last two years they have seen much more than the average. Since September 2010 over 40 inches has already fallen and spring will bring more. I doubt I could even drive through the town towing the travel trailer much less set it up and learn how to keep warm with 3ft of snow on the ground already.

Flagstaff Icicles of Death Feb 2009

While we wait for the spring thaw we stay busy in Texas. We enjoyed the Bible Conference at Lakeway Baptist in Humble where we have anchored for most of the winter. The church under Pastor David Stone's leadership has moved into new facilities and it was great to participate in services preaching, singing, signing and playing harmonica with their great praise band. It is always great to see our fellowlaborers and pastors from around the area. The preaching was true, sincere and fervent. These men and their families are the best people I know and I count it one of God's greatest blessings to count them as friends and supporters.

I have preached in several area churches and will be speaking at a Valentine Banquet next month at Highland Baptist Church in El Reno, Ok., where Bro. Travis Jones is the pastor. We continue to visit in the area at independent Baptist churches and to make it a point to stop by those that have taken us on for support and thank them personally for their trust in us.

We plan to be in Flagstaff as early in the year as is feasible and safe. We have already begun looking for place to live and begin worship. Pray as we begin looking for work that will allow us to provide for our needs and still have time to do the real work God has sent us to Flagstaff for. We are praying for the Lord to lead us to people who will be open to the gospel, Bible study and starting a church. We have heard from many of you that have relatives and friends in the area and intend to do our best to look them up. If you have any others that you would like us to get in contact with please email me at krisminefee@gmail.com with their names and a way to contact them. We will make those folks our first priority to contact.

In His Service
