A BABY IS SAVED

On January 30, we had just arrived and parked in the front of the mill (in the rain). A girl and her mother came to the front door which was locked. As they turned to go around back, Mary Penner approached them and handed the girl one of our papers and talked to her for a few minutes. She listened and seemed really interested until her mother said, "We'd better go on in." About an half hour later they came out of the driveway. The girl walked over to Mary and gave her a hug, saying, "Thank you so much," wiping tears. Her mother also smiled and said, "Thank you." Mary asked the girl, "You didn't do it?" The girl said, "No." Mary asked if we could help and her mother said, "She's OK." They both said, "Thank you" again as they walked away.

ANOTHER BABY IS SAVED

While ministering at "A Capital Woman's Health Clinic" on Wednesday, Feb. 7, 2001, a baby was saved. A woman from Fort Lee (Army Base) drove up and came over to speak with Mary Penner and I. We learned that she had been to the Tri-Cities CPC the day before but was scheduled to have her baby killed today. She struggled with the idea for some time and came out to speak with us several times. Ultimately she chose to leave and said she was going to go to the CPC the next day. Please pray that she will be committed in this decision for life.

A BABY IS BORN

Yesterday at 8:15am our new baby boy arrived. He was seven and a half pounds and 21 inches long with lots of dark hair. He is doing great and so is Ruthy. His name is "Noah Eleazar Benayah Green"

WHY THIS NAME?

NOAH

Gen. 6:8-9 "But Noah found favour in the eyes of YHWH. This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with Elohim."

Hebrews 11:7 "By faith, Noah, having been warned of what was yet unseen, moved with fear, prepared an ark to save his household; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."

ELEAZAR

1 Maccabees 7 43-46 "Eleazar, called Avaran, saw one of the beasts bigger than any of the others and covered with royal armor, and he thought the king must be on it. So he gave up his life to save his people and win an everlasting name for himself. He dashed up to it in the middle of the phalanx, killing men right and left, so that they fell back from him on both sides. He ran right under the elephant and stabbed it in the belly, killing it. The beast fell to the ground on top of him, and he died there."

BENAYAH

1 Chronicles 11:22-24 "Benayah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit on a snowy day. And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits tall; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear. These things did Benayah the son of Jehoiada, and won a name among the three mighty men."

May he walk in great faith as a fearless and bold man of YHWH.

Proverbs 22:1 "A Good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold."
