Yankee Shares Holy Days in Review 2024

Betty and I have been blessed of the Lord to have wonderful children. My oldest son, David, died in December of 1990 at the age of 28. Below is my youngest son, Eddie who is 53. He has taken this last half of the year getting pilot's license in Nashville, Tennessee. I am very proud of his ambitions to improve. Perhaps he could fly me around instead of me driving the motor-home.

I always like sharing time with these young men. Michael and Nicole Brown loan Hunter and Aiden to their uncle Yankee, so he can love on them a little. I see two preacher boys in the making.
Betty and I were so honored to share in the Retirement Celebration of Pastor David Peterson on December 8th. The First Baptist Church in Land O' Lakes was packed. David pastor for 44 years and was a graduate of Florida Bible College.
Over the years, we have been privileged to preach in camps, men's retreats, church services, and school graduation together. David has been a great defender of the clear gospel of Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving Days and Christmas Holidays is our most faithful events for our family to get together. My daughter, Trina at 63, works most of the time putting together wonderful meals. Tendell, her husband, surprised everyone with special gifts. I'm not telling!!
After eating, Eddie led us in a song, I read from an article written by Greg Stier, we sung another song, and then shared gifts. It does the heart good to see family enjoying the fire in the fireplace after a great meal with each filled with joy and laughter.
Can you believe that I have 4 grandchildren in these two pictures that if they each would have 3 children each, Betty and I would have 12 beautiful "Great" grandchildren to love on? Would ya'll pray? At 83, we don't have many good years left. Do you understand?

Pastor John Hembree, (left), graduated from Florida Bible College in Tampa. I spoke 4 times last week at Northside Church in Athens. For you that don't know, that is Benjamin and Eden Coile standing beside me. Continue praying for them. They are two Christ honoring children that love the Lord.

Merry Christmas from Yankee and Betty includes our 2025 Evangelistic Schedule

 

 FROM YANKEE AND BETTY ARNOLD

Living by faith is living by the confidence that others have in your ministry. I pray that this ministry has earned your trust. We have walked together for many years sharing God's love. Let's see if we can continue for one more year.

Allow me a moment to share with you something I learned about the working of the Lord. Notice the need of his ministry and his prayer request to his disciples.

Mat 9:36  But when he (THE LORD) saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Mat 9:37  Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Isn’t it a shame that laborers are few? Somebody must have refused to go or someone must have refused to give! Mat 9:38  Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. 

 

See what Jesus saw. He saw that the harvest was plenteous (meaning many people). He saw that the laborers were few. Notice what he told them to do. I believe that Jesus has told his children to go, but most will not do so. I believe that the Lord has commanded His children to supply but many have chosen to disobey.

When you think of some of the Hymns at Christmas Time consider:

1.    Go Tell It on The Mountain but never tell it in the Valley.

2.    I Love to tell the Story but never tell a soul.

3.    Joy to the World but never tell the World

I suppose traveling across America for 8-9 months each year in our motor-home produces a little fear and apprehensions about our health, safety, provisions and even directions. But, I have a greater fear of not going if I can. I do not fear the chastening hand of the Lord, but I fear the eternal consequences of souls I did not reach or believers I did not challenge or encourage to serve the Lord.
