2018 is Over!
It’s hard to believe that 2018 is already over. It has now been two full years since I launched out into full time evangelism! Wow! God has been very good to us and has faithfully supplied all our needs. I can say like Samuel: “Thus far, the Lord has helped us.” (1 Samuel 7:12). I thank the Lord for being so faithful to us. And I thank you, also, if you have helped us in any way. Every gift and prayer is truly a blessing.
As the year draws to a close and I reflect on what’s to come, I feel like Paul: “without are conflicts, within are fears.” There are many difficulties that we face. I have confidence, however, that the Lord, who ‘began a good work in me, will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.’ I often pray: “Lord, I am yours to use of as you will and to dispose of when you are finished. My life is in your hand.” There’s no better hand to be in than the Lords. This I know by an abundance of experience
I spend lots of time speaking to students one-on-one or in small groups like this. They always have a ton of questions! 
After his friends left, this young man stuck around for much longer. It is during times like this that mental strongholds are challenged in the minds of these students. 
This woman got saved watching Christian TV in China! She had a great testimony! 
Preaching at UD
Opening the Scriptures
Besides being out on the streets, I’ve been spending a lot of time studying. I recently finished a LARGE systematic theology book that was very difficult to drudge through (mainly because it was written over 100 years ago). It was very eye-opening for me. I put the book down several times because I had so much trouble understanding it, but I felt the Lord nudge me continually back to it. I read several chapters over and over and with some things I just had to move on. However, as I moved through the pages, things began to click. I’ve been praying for a better understanding of the things that I’ve been called to preach and I believe the Lord has answered me through some of these books. These theologians were not only great thinkers, but very fruitful ministers in their time. It’s such a blessing to peer into their minds and partake of their understanding of the scriptures. I wish I had learned some of these things earlier in life.

New Year, New Chaffee
2019 is going to be a year of adventure! Not only are we launching into another year of ministry, but we are expecting another child! Yes, Chaffee Child number five! I really love children and I am excited about having another one. I would keep having an endless number of children if I could! The amount of joy my children bring me is innumerable. Please pray for us as we prepare for our new little one’s arrival! He/she is due in July.
Thank YOU
