Dear praying family and friends,

“O taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” Psalm 34:8

2008 was a tremendous year for us in our evangelistic ministry. God demonstrated Himself by giving us the most weeks of meetings for the year, thus far, with 32. We saw over 150 salvation decisions and scores of others were made in our services.

Some of the instances in which we were able to taste and see God include these:

9/4-9/12 Hanalani Schools, Hawaii: over 45 kids professed Christ as their Savior. Many others made some strong decisions for Christ.

11/3-11/7 Community Christian Academy, Saginaw, MI: there were several salvation decisions in the school, and a few others in the Friday night youth activity.

11/17-11/21 Faith Baptist Church, Sparta, TN: A man named Bruce attended the Monday night service, left town, was under conviction, and returned to the service for the Friday night service. Before I could even start the invitation, Bruce came forward, took the pastor aside, and said to him, “Let’s go, I need to get saved.” Bruce told me afterwards that while he was traveling Tuesday through Thursday, he was miserable and under conviction since Monday night. A week after the revival meeting, Bruce was baptized.

God has demonstrated Himself in so many ways, from seeing folks get saved, to hearts getting right, to supplying our needs, to reuniting us to old friends. These are just a few highlights that have been impressed upon us last year.

We look forward to what God is going to do in 2009. We have already had a great start in Lehigh Acres, FL where I had to privilege of preaching a spiritual emphasis week, preaching twice a day, and also running a basketball camp in between preaching sessions. The young people there were very sensitive, ready and responsive. I had preached and taught basketball there before, and it was evident that there was a much better spirit this time. Many young people made some good decisions and it was a very encouraging start to our fifth year of ministry.

Please pray that God would continue to bless our ministry as we look forward to preaching God’s Word and seeing Him work in hearts. We are in the process of expanding our ministry in several ways and we will inform you how those things are going as we get them underway. Also, as you think of us, please keep us in your prayers in these areas:

Prayer Requests:

· God’s power in our ministry.

· Souls to trust Christ as their Savior

· God to open more doors for ministry and provide for us about 15 more weeks for 2009

· God to fill our schedule for 2010 and 2011

· God’s protection as we travel.

· God to direct us to a music team for the near future.

· God to supply our spiritual needs as well as our physical/financial needs.

Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. May God richly bless you all as you faithfully serve Him.

Tasting His Goodness,

David D. Cajiuat – Ps. 34:8
