Dear Friends, Warm greetings from England! We are in the middle of a very exciting time. As most of you are now probably aware, we feel strongly that God is leading us to make a major move and establish our center of operations back in the USA. This will mean moving the Garrisons and Bartons across the Atlantic and doing most of our work and travel from Indianapolis! It has taken us a long time and much prayer to come to this conclusion, but we feel that this is definitely God’s leading for this time. It will mean that we are able to get much more work done in many parts of the world. We are excited about the possibilities that now lie ahead of us! Primary prayer requests: With this in mind, there are two primary things that we would ask you to pray for with us. 1. We have to sell our two houses here in England so that we can make the transition back to the USA. Please pray that God will help us to sell the houses quickly. 2. Pippa Garrison, and Mike and Anne Barton will all require immigration visas to be able to live in the USA. None of these should be a problem, but we ask you to pray with us that the visas will be granted speedily and without any unnecessary difficulty. Additional Prayer Points: 1. With the move to the USA, we will need to make steps to continue the work of distribution in England, and on the continent of Europe. Please pray that God will help us to find the right people to help us to continue the work of Searchlight here. 2. Mike and Anne Barton need to make a trip to the Netherlands to meet with the people who will be administrating Searchlight’s finances and magazine distribution in Europe. This is an important part of insuring that things are set up to continue running smoothly once we make the move back to the USA. Please pray for God’s timing and provision for that trip. Netherlands Trip Budget: $500 Thank you so much for your prayers and continued interest in Searchlight and the work that God has given us to do around the world. Please keep us in your prayers as we follow all that he has set before us for the coming days. "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!"

Advances in Asia Recently God has been graciously blessing Searchlight and allowing us to continue the work that has begun in many countries in Asia. "Light for Life" translations are going out in Burmese (Myanmar), Nepali (Nepal, Bhutan, parts of Myanmar, and parts of India); Telugu (India), and Hindi (India). The total circulation of these various translations is 7,000 copies. We are grateful to God for his marvelous provision for these. Please pray that God will continue to supply the finances for this work to continue, and that the magazines will touch many hearts and change lives. We are now to the place in these countries where we can start to follow up the work of the magazine with conferences, teaching aids, and the development of affiliates. With this in mind, we are praying about the possibility of Mike and Anne Barton visiting Hyderabad, India for 10 days at the end of February. This would be to meet with the printer who is now doing much of our printing for countries all over the world; to further develop the relationship with John Wesley Gummadi, Searchlight’s printing coordinator in India; to visit a language translation center that may be useful for other languages and dialects around the world; and to have preparatory meetings for future visits for conferences, discipleship training, outreach, etc. We are now praying for God’s provision for this trip. Please pray with us that, if this is God’s will for this time, he will provide all necessary finances for the trip. The total budget for the trip to India is: $3250 Pakistan prayer point: For the past two years we have been distributing an Urdu translation of "Light for Life" in Pakistan and parts of India. We have had to temporarily cease that due to lack of continuing finances. Please pray that God will supply all necessary funds for that work. The people of Pakistan are literally begging us to continue the magazine. Annual budget (published quarterly): 1000 copies: $3600 2000 copies: $6800 » donate specifically to Searchlight's work in Pakistan » Read more Prayer Updates
