FAITH + PRAYER = DREAMS COME TRUE

Ahh, the busy-ness of life!  How quickly life can slip by!  Our last entry in our family "blog" over a year ago expressed our "Christmas wish" for funding to complete CEF Fiji's beautiful building.  With faith, prayer, perseverance and the goodness of God through His people, our DREAM became reality.  The new national office of CEF Fiji was dedicated on August 20, 2011.

Our Christmas Wish: PRAYER!

How gracious God has been to us this year!  We thank Him for His wonderful blessings!  Yet, as the year comes to an end, we find ourselves "standin' in the need of prayer".  Would you take a few minutes to lift these concerns up to Lord on our behalf?

• We need approximately USD $ 195,000 to complete the construction of CEF Fiji's national office.  If this money comes in soon, construction can be completed by early May 2011.  We need a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE.
• We urgently need a tenant for our "retirement" home in Durham, NC.  We've been without a tenant since June 2010.
• Our personal monthly support level is down by 25% ($2150.00 per month).  Several precious and faithful supporters have gone Home to be with the Lord in 2010, thus leaving a substantial "void".
• Kent needs to have a right hip replacement in 2011 and will need to have this done in Sydney, Australia where costs are considerably lower than in the USA.

THANK YOU for your GIFT of PRAYER.  The Bryant family wishes you a very Merry Christmas and a God-blessed New Year!

PRAY NOW for this PROMOTIONAL AD

This "ad" is due to appear in the national newspaper The Fiji Times on Thursday, July 8th, 2010. Please join us in praying that God will guide the hands of the editors and that it will be placed in a prominent place where MANY people see it and RESPOND.

Our need is critical and urgent. We have LESS than 90 DAYS to raise USD $197,000.00 (Approximately F$400,000) by September 30th, 2010. This is the deadline set by a Christian couple overseas who has pledged to give US$75,000 to the Moriah Project...IF...we raise the balance of USD $225,000.00 by Sept 30th.

Drawn to the Savior!

A desperate young man was "drawn" to the CEF office on Monday morning, May 24th, by the CEF signboard!  Kent listened to the sad story of this suicidal young man, Several times, the young man said the sign "drew him" to come to the gate of the CEF office seeking counseling help.  Kent carefully explained the wonderful Gospel story and the HOPE that can only be found in the LORD. The young man had been in church ALL his life, but he had NEVER heard the Gospel explained so simply. What a joy for Kent to lead him to Christ!  An Indian pastor came to continue counselling in Hindi and took the young man home with him overnight. Praise God...He used even a signboard to draw the lost to Himself!  That has been our hearts' desire!  Pray for this young man named Nathan as he is discipled to follow the Lord.

Congratulations, Jeremy!

May 10 - 15, Jeremy participated in a squash sports clinic in Suva. From 3 to 5 PM each day, Fiji's two-time gold medalist squash player of the 2007 South Pacific Games coached the advanced teen players. The culmination of the week was a round-robin competition. Jeremy is now officially ranked Fiji's  #2 player for both the under-19 and the under-16 categories. Way to go, Jeremy!

Dual Citizenship a Reality

April 28, Kent received his Naturalization Certificate and his Fiji passport;As a dual citizen of both American and Fiji, he no longer needs a work permit that must be renewed every three years nor does he need immigration bonds. He may now register the rest of the family so that Becky, Jeremy, and Katelyn can have Fiji passports as well. Congratulations, Kent!
