Greetings in the name of our crucified, risen, and ruling Lord!

May we all rejoice that the Spirit has worked in our hearts to give us repentance for sins and a faith to believe that the Lord Jesus paid the great price for those sins, and that, as risen Lord, He also now rules over all, and in His time will bring them to glory those He died for.

CLA in Suriname has a “break” this week and begins classes again on the Tuesday after “Easter Monday”. Pray that all the teachers and staff will have time to relax and be refreshed and return to their work with renewed purpose in serving the Lord.

Hamids were hoping to be able to move to their residence during the break but at best they will only move over some things. There are still many “small things” needing to be completed. PTL that they trust the Lord in it all.

Please continue to pray for the students in College and Seminary, and for my online work with them. And also, please pray for Mrs. Otis (Good News Bible Study) and her trials in illness.

Prayerfully and thankfully,

Rev. RP

Greetings in the name of our sovereign Lord!

May we all be comforted and assured that He is sovereign in all that is taking place in our countries (US & Canada) and in the world. There is much that could cause us to fret but that only causes harm (Ps.37:8).

We are beginning to make plans for Board meetings for both US Board and Canadian Board. PTL for those members on the boards, who so willing give of their time for service to the Lord.

This past week the school and Church in Suriname experienced the valley of the shadow of death. A member of the Church passed away (she is mother to one of our teachers who is also a member of FPC). Pray for God’s good purpose also in this, and for comfort to those who know the Lord.

Once again, PTL for the ongoing progress in construction. Pray for Hamids as they get things ready to move ASAP. I’m sure you can appreciate that many things need to be done and planned for.

Profoundly thankful for your partnership in prayer,

Rev. RP

Greetings dear prayer partners!

Thank you for being a very important part of the ministry of SALT with RCM. Be encouraged that the Lord works His perfect will and purpose through the prayer of His people.

It seems almost surreal that we are now into the Fourth and final Quarter of school at CLA in Suriname. I was just reminded to order graduation tassels! Lord willing, I will be there in May for the Fourth Qt. Exams and Final Exams, as well as graduation. Please pray for all who work at CLA to be encouraged in their callings there. The construction work goes on and we are still hoping that Hamids can move into the upper level by end of March.

Thank you for also praying for the students in the College and Seminary and that God will bless their studies for His purpose and calling in their lives.

On a more personal note, the month of March has been a month of many memories which the Lord found wise for us to experience. In 1992 our son died, in 2003 we had the fire in Suriname which destroyed all our possessions, and we also have had other difficult experiences. I say it only to PTL that He is gracious in the deepest “valley” and takes us through them.

Serving our Lord together with you,

Rev. RP

Greetings in the name of our common Savior and Lord!

He is the One Who unites us in Spirit & Truth and gives to us the joy of experiencing that especially on Sundays, in worship. I trust you had a blessed Lord’s Day and are strengthened in His grace.

I am so thankful to report that most of the teachers and staff at CLA are recovering from illness. Please pray for the Lord to encourage all the teachers as they face various challenges in their calling at CLA. Today they begin the final week (week 9) of the Third Quarter, and that means Quarter Exams! In previous years I would be there to help in those exams, so please especially pray for Rev. Hamid as it remains on him.

Please also be encouraged to continue in prayer for the students in College and Seminary (and for my online work with them). Students frequently mention their thanks and appreciation for their studies. It is truly a blessing to be used of the Lord in this ministry of teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you (Mt.28:20).

Serving our Lord for His glory, and His rule,

Rev. RP
