2010: A Great Year

2010 held an incredible amount of ministry opportunities both inside and outside of the home. We settled into our new home (at least new to us) and spent countless hours with family and friends in our 'Casa Fiesta'. We love to host folks and look forward to that again in 2011.

With the arrival of Shiphrah in mid-August, we were all maxed out on the energy scale, so I had to take some time off from everything going on with the Nepalese, which was a difficult but critical family decision.

Nevertheless, the Nepali work over 2010 went exceptionally well. We were introduced to several new families, and I was able to spent a tremendous amount of time in their homes on a regular basis, which is something I was not able to much of 2009.

I was also able to squeeze in an Apologetic Conference out in Dallas and a small one for a home school co-op here in Atlanta.

Though much of my focus has been at home for the past four months, I have not bee idle in my studies. On the contrary, I have been able to spend an incredible amount of time in Hebrew and Greek. I continue developing my linguistic skills in order to understand the Bible at a deeper level and to use these skills for future language work. Linguistics are a lot like mastering an instrument; it takes regular time over a number of years. It can seem like you are treading water with grammar and vocab forever, but the light at the end of the tunnel starts to appear as
words and concepts start to cement in your mind. Before you know it, the text begins to leap off of the page like never before!

We continue to pray about the focus of the The Jeramy Anderson Evangelistic Association this next year, and much of that will be dictated by my work schedule which may or may not change in a few months. In time, I hope to be able to put more time into this exciting ministry, so please pray for a change of schedule that will better accomodate this.

To Him be the glory! Amen!
