Sending Church: Higher Plains Baptist
Oklahoma City OK  
September and October 2023
Dear Pastor and Church Family
Our Annual Pastors’ Conference: We have been hosting this conference for many years. Our goal has been to encourage these pastors and their churches. We give out tracts John and Romans Bibles Sunday School material music and Thompson Chain Bibles. We had 547 Pastors 172 Pastors’ wives and many church workers.
October Was Our Missions Month: I told our members that I have three goals for every member concerning giving. First: Learn to tithe. Second: Continue to tithe. Third: Give to missions
(Pastor Adam Thompson)
weekly. God has blessed our church and our people because of the giving to missions. The Lord has taken care of our church and our Bible College because of our missions giving. I do not ever want our church to be satisfied in the area of our missions giving. I want us to do more and more to help local churches and the sending of Foreign Missionaries to other countries.                                                                        
Short Trip To The States: I was invited to be in a Missions Conference in Texas. I was able to visit a few of our supporting churches. I am sorry that I was not able to be with all of you. I will be returning back to the Philippines on November 24.  
Return Address: On the mailing envelope the address is temporary while I am in the States. If you need to contact me text or call me on my cell number 661-429-9039 (only temporary). We send out our Prayer Letter every two to three months. If for any reason you do not receive our letter please contact me by email. Pray that we will continue to do what we started to do 27 years ago when we arrived in the Philippines. I want to thank you for your prayers and financial support over the many years. Enclosed is our Prayer Cards and picture for your missions board.
May God Bless you                                                                                                                                                Doug & Becky Sisson

Dear Friends and Family
     I was scheduled to fly to Rwanda tomorrow.  That journey has been postponed.  At the present I do not have a new date.  To be very honest I just was not able to make the journey.  The seizure/spells continue to increase in frequency and intensity.  My blood pressure is now being affected by pressure and stress.  Recently it was 218/123.  I wrote in my December praise and prayer letter that I was taking a special time for waiting on the Lord according to Isaiah 40:28-31.  Waiting on the Lord is not just sitting idle doing nothing.  It is taking definite time and effort to look to the Lord.  Kathy and I are in Florida for the month of January waiting on the Lord.  Thank you for your prayers.  Keep on praying for me.  I believe the Lord still has things for me to do in Africa.  
     Today I received an email from Pastor Hyacinthe in Ruhengeri.  January 8th Victory Baptist Church will hold its first church service in their new building.  While working with Enoch and Kinigi on the church building today Hyacinthe led both men to the Lord.  They both have families.  Please pray they will bring their families and come to church this Sunday.
     Your missionary Tony Stark
