OUR ANNUAL REVIEW \u2013 A LOOK AT 2021<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
          As we look back at 2021 our hearts overflow with much praise for the Lord\u2019s goodness and grace. It was also a year of challenge and change, due to COVID and personal limitations. We have begun to cut back on traveling long distances, and unnecessary night driving. We were privileged to minister the Word 31 times at Wishkah Valley Community Church, <\/i>and 9 times at other churches, travelling 14,330 miles to do so.<\/div>\n
          God has privileged us to serve with NICE for the past 54 years! Your prayers have sustained us; your giving has enabled us to \u201ccontinue on.\u201d As we look in the \u201crear-view mirror\u201d focusing on 2021, we see God\u2019s hand of love and care in so many ways:<\/div>\n
