The Braley 5

Happy New Year!

Greetings from the Braleys! I heard recently that it is 2012 but I put no stock in crazy rumors. I hope your last year was wonderful and pray the upcoming year is filled with blessings. We cannot thank you enough for all of your prayers and support. You are all such a blessing to us! So, as you might have heard, Summur is pregnant. And its a girl!!! People often think we want a boy, but honestly we are just as happy with our girls. Its hard to imagine that in 5 short months I will love another human being as much as I love the rest of my family. Its good to remember that we can only love because He loved us first. We have been so blessed by so many things, but we most value the relationship with Him. Of course a new baby means lots of changes. We were pleased to find out that we will not need to

move to a bigger place. We really enjoy our home and I think going through one calendar year without moving is also kind of nice We are also in search for a larger vehicle (so I dont have to ride in the trunk). The Lord has provided us with a bed (for free) and a new sleeper couch (for free). Thats my kind of price! The point is we know He will provide for us, and just pray for wisdom for us to obey Him, not only about a car but in all things that we do, may it all be for His glory. What a privilege it is to partner with you to reach the lost in Asia!

MORE THAN MONEY COULD BUY

Much More than Money Could Buy Two months ago, Mahadevi Kaler answered the door to find a man and a When Mahadevi visited the family, she prayed for Premila again. In woman standing on her doorstep with a limp 10-year-old girl in their faith, she asked the mute 10-year-old how she felt. arms. Desperation The man and his wife were Brijmohan and Oja Kundhal. Two years ago, their daughter, Premila, contracted a virus. Because of the viral fever, she eventually lost the ability to speak, and her body became weak. The family spent much of their meager income on medication for little Premila, but she still did not recover. In their desperation, Premilas parents carried her from door to door, begging for money, for medical treatment. They knocked on several doors, and many people gave money to help their child. Little did they know that at the next door they would knock on the God of the universe would give them much more than money could buy. No Money to Give Mahadevi Kaler is a Gospel for Asia-supported woman missionary. After opening the door, she listened as the parents told her of their daughters plight. Mahadevi didnt have any money to give, but she offered to pray for Premila. The missionary invited Brijmohan and Oja into her home and told them about Jesus, the Healer and Giver of Life who could save their daughter. She then prayed for Premila, asking the Lord to heal her. Mahadevi encouraged the parents to place their trust in Christ and to pray to the Lord for Premilas complete recovery. As they walked out, the parents asked Mahadevi to come to their home later to pray. With a stammering voice, Premila responded! She said that before prayer, she had felt like something was clenching her throat, preventing her from speaking. Now, the feeling was gone, and she could speak again. The family saw that Jesus really was the Healer and Giver of Life, and they chose to follow the Lord. Although she didnt have any money to give them, Mahadevi had shown the family something much better: Christs gift of salvation. Please pray for this family, asking the Lord to make them bright lights in their village. Pray also for Premilas complete recovery, that she would regain her strength. Please ask the Lord to bless Mahadevi and to continue to make her fruitful.

Summur Time!
Hello Family in ChristGod is so good and has been teaching me a lot of things lately. The biggest is trusting Him to stay true to His promises. Which He always does, so why am I surprised when He does? We are expecting a baby in early June and I am healthier than the last pregnancy. So, that is a huge praise! We are so blessed to be able to stay in our apartment for another year, so that is another huge blessing. We were in need of a sofa bed and a new set of beds for the girls and God has provided those also. Isnt He good to us? The best news I have is that my dad became a believer in Christ recently! Amazing Grace! The Christmas party turned out well and people seemed to like the dcor. All of my crew did an outstanding job. Thank you so much
