Dear Saints,

 

The Blessings of the Lord maketh fat. (Not physically)

 

Remember how that the I.R.S. originally wanted $14,000. from me and the I.R.S. appeals officer reversed it back down to zero.  A month ago I received the final written conclusion from the appeals officer and she, using the auditor’s faulty numbers, concluded that the I.R.S. actually owes me a couple of hundred dollars.  Praise the Lord!!!!!  It is just enough to cover my expenses for traveling to and from Evansville those four times for the three audits and one appeal.

 

Are you ready for this next one, the Virginia Tech case has been won!!  The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed the District Courts decision and has even awarded my attorney $5,000. for expenses.  I am currently in negotiation with Virginia Tech about preaching there in April without sponsor.  There are still a few technicalities to be worked out yet so keep on praying.

 

My attorney Patrick Wiseman lives in Austin, Texas where the University of Texas is located.  The University of Texas has always kicked me off their campus for not having a sponsor.  So I went to U.T. to preach last week so that they would kick me off campus.  They did, so my attorney and I are in the early stages of trying to crack open U.T. Austin.

 

I Thank the lord that my most long awaited prayer is being answered, that is, to legally push the devil back and allow the gospel to have free course on the campuses.

 

The Lord is blessing in every way imaginable especially with finances.  We are getting ever so close to being able to purchase another trailer.

 

We thank you for your love and payers.
