“I made your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have loved me with may be in them and I may be in them.” John 17:26. Jesus made his Father’s name known to his disciples and to those he encountered so that the Father’s love would be in them, as he would be in them. Because his people are known by their love. Over the last months, we have been greatly blessed by that love as we have visited many of you in your home churches.
Since our last newsletter, we visited three more churches in northwestern Oregon, attended my grandpa’s memorial service, and had a few days with some extended family around Thanksgiving. In each church we visit, we learn just a little bit about the ways that congregation is being God’s hands and feet to each other and in their community. You are such an encouragement to us! Feeding the hungry, serving your neighbors, making disciples in prisons, giving care packages to the homeless, and providing a safe place for children after school, God is working through you. May you continue to be faithful and to see the goodness of God!
When we’re home, we’ve been working on setting up prayer and planning teams for our new field, meeting some new contacts who can help us understand this region and its people better, and slowly putting our affairs in order. All of us needed this slower time, where we could have more of a routine. Fred is seeing some encouraging things at work, starting with the hiring of a new IT director who will come on full-time in January. The kids are doing “school,” playing, coloring, singing, reading.
We hope that next Christmas we’ll be in the Balkans! In the meantime, we need more monthly financial partners, more prayer partners, and wisdom as we prepare to go. Please pray, and if you feel drawn to join with us, please do so!

Prayer Requests:
– For Fred as he transitions out of his IT manager role and out of his job altogether.
– For the kids that they will love God early, will feel grounded as we are moving around and moving away, and that we will care for them well.
– For the people in The Balkans, that they will see the light of Christ, know the Prince of Peace, and make the Father’s name known in their communities and beyond.
Thank you for your support and prayers!
Fred and Jonelle Liddell
