Christmas 2011
Christmas 2011
Our Dear Friends, We begin this letter by wishing you a very happy Christmas and a New Year of blessing!
Where has 2011 gone? So much has happened in the Cole household, some of which we shared in our summer letter.
We had a wonderful family reunion when all eleven of us were together for the best part of three weeks.
All done and nearly dusted!! Yes, David was admitted to the local hospital on October 29th to have his right knee replaced. At the time of writing he is making good progress. This operation meant that another two Months of meeting were cancelled. We are so grateful to all the churches concerned for their love and understanding (this meant four Months of meetings in total) God is so good! We now look forward to 2012, in the Will of the Lord, and to a full preaching programme.
During the year we have lost so many precious friends and prayer partners causing us much sadness. We will certainly miss them but, to be absent from the body and present with the Lord is far better!!
To mention one in particular: The Hon Reverend Roland Lamb, very recently promoted to Glory. He was instrumental in inviting David to Callington in September 1966 where Kathryn was teaching and converted at the Cliff College Mission meetings. Roland and his wife Jill became parents in the Lord to Kathryn and meant so much to both of us. Callington is where we met and married and the rest, as we say, is history. How we thank God for Roland and Jill and other numerous links in the Divine chain - thus far!!
Our web site is still active and from time to time extra meetings and new photos will be added.
Also, please log on to the Global Outreach Mission web site and be updated with our exciting worldwide missionary endeavours.

May the year 2012 bring you much joy.
Much love
