Dad is Home

Dad has been home from the hospital since Tuesday night. He went back to the doctor this morning for a procedure and he's doing better. He's eating and has rested really well since he's been home. He goes back on June 9th for prep for surgery and then the actual surgery will be on June 12th. He will have more stones lasered and they are predicting a 6 - 8 weeks of in and out of the hospital having the stones blasted. He will be home bound during this time and is having to cancel some meetings. Please pray that God touches his body and heals him and also takes care of them financially during this time.
We appreciate all of your love and concern. We have people wanting to text message him or send a card. If you need that information, just send a private message and we will get it to you.

Kidney Issues

I kindly ask you to pray for my dad, Bro. Heidenreich.   For the past several weeks has been having health difficulties with his kidneys. This health issue caused him to recently cancel a foreign trip, and has caused him extreme pain.

Yesterday, he went to the doctor to find out what he could do to help with the problem, and they scheduled a CAT scan for next Tuesday. When he got home, the doctors office called him back and told him they wanted to get him in for a scan that day because they felt there was more going on than just trying to pass kidney stones. After coming home from the CAT scan, the doctor called and told him they wanted to immediately have surgery to remove several stones.

A urologist came in to the hospital for the sole purpose of seeing Bro. Heidenreich. We were told that he has several kidney stones, the two smallest are 8mm and 13mm. They said that he has several kidney stones that are twice that size, and that there are so many stones that they have been forced into his bladder. He also has an infection in the kidneys.

Today at 9am, he went into surgery to have 2 stents put in to help the kidney infection. Due to one kidney being blocked, they could not get the one stent in, which means he will go back into surgery later today to have a tube put into his back to drain the kidneys. Once the infection is gone, then they will go in and blast the kidney stones.

We were also informed that they discovered a mass on the main artery that goes from the heart to the leg. They won’t be able to work on that until the kidney infection is gone.

Please pray for Bro. Heidenreich that the kidney infection will dissipate and that the mass on the artery is not serious. The family appreciates the texts of concern we have already received. We will keep you updated as to his condition.

Thank You For Praying!

I've had several emails, texts and calls to see how I'm doing with my kidney stones.  This past week has been a very painful week, I have passed 8 stones and we feel there are more stones still coming.  Please pray I can keep passing them and I don't need to go to the hospital because they can't be passed.

God has been so good to bless those that went on the trip to Africa.  They are seeing people saved and baptized daily.

The people there have been receiving the Bibles we sent and they are so happy that people here cared enough to send them.  I wish I could have gone but God knows what He is

doing.  

I really want to thank all of you who made this trip possible and to those who are praying for me!

Trip to Africa ~ Please Pray!

PLEASE PRAY!

I'm a bit disappointed this morning...  I won't be able to make the trip to Africa tomorrow morning.  I woke up in the night with a kidney attack and passing a lot of blood. I've been advised not to make the trip because we are going into remote villages and medical help may not be available. 

I know God is going to do a lot on this trip.  We have bought many Bibles, prepared tracts, printed materials and other resources for those going. I want to thank those that invested in this trip.  You will still have a great part in these villages receiving the Gospel through the suitcases of things being sent.  

Please pray that God will do a great work through those that are going. I'm having some tests ran so I'm having my daughter, Sandy Domelle, post this message for me.  

Trip to South Africa

We've been asked to go to South Africa to help a national pastor reach some remote villages in his area with the Gospel.  God has been blessing us with so many of the things that will be needed for this trip.  Please continue to pray for our safety as we go.  We will be there April 17-30th.  The national pastor contacted us and said he and his members are working hard at preparing places for us to preach the Gospel.  We will be going into schools, villages, and holding soul winning and leadership services.  Please be praying for this trip because it looks like it is expanding into two or three other bordering countries.  The opportunities are great and we need the Lord to intervene and I need physical strength.  I really need you to be a part of this trip. 

December 2013 Prayer Letter

December 2013

What an exciting month we’ve had in serving the Lord! We had a great Missions revival with Pastor Paul Arcand and the Lighthouse Baptist Church in Pasadena, Maryland. Bro Arcand has been a great friend for many years, and I always enjoy the opportunity to be with him, his family and church people. There was a great turnout for the Friday night service with the missionaries who were there. We also had many out for our soul winning meeting on Saturday morning with people saved.

We had the joy of being with Pastor Zappa and the Union Grove Baptist Church. My wife and I really enjoyed fellowshipping with the sweet people of this church. They were so friendly and really a blessing. This church has a heart for missions. It was a pleasure to preach and share our heart about what God is doing with us around the world. 

I was also with Pastor Patrick Heuveline and the Twin City Baptist Church in Brewer, Maine for their Mission's Conference. They had an outstanding banquet on Saturday night in which their ladies decorated each of the tables from different countries. The people were so excited; and what great food we had! It’s always exciting to go back to churches and see the excitement they have in reaching their area for Him.

Many of you know about Typhoon Yolanda that went through the Philippines. We have our children and grandchildren as missionaries living there. We were very concerned because the eye of the storm went right through the area where they are living. We weren’t able to get in contact with them, but after three days we heard they were safe! Sometimes being the parents and grandparents can be challenging! Some of their buildings were damaged, and the roof on the church needs repaired. They went about a month without electricity, but this past week had that restored. We are so thankful to the Lord for meeting that need. 

Susie and I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas. Because of all your prayers, love and support, thousands were saved and hundreds were baptized this year. It’s with great joy to know you are there holding the rope for us.

Your Missionaries,

The Heidenreich’s

Happy Thanksgiving

Susie and I have been thinking of how thankful we are for all that God has done for us and through us this past year. 

We are so thankful for those who have prayed for us and supported our ministry all these years. May God bless you and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Thank You!

A special thank you for all those that have prayed for Sam, Aileen, JP, and Ashley for the safety through typhoon Yolanda. 

We are very grateful for all who have prayed and given to help them through this very difficult time of recovery. You'll never know how much this as meant to us.

What a great Missions Revival we had with Pastor Paul Arcand and the Lighthouse Baptist Church. There was a great turnout for the Friday night service with the missionaries. 

We had a well attended soul winning meeting on Saturday morning.  Had a great time out with my soul winning partner and there were people saved. 

Saturday night we had all the missionaries show their presentations. What a heart stirring time that was for the people watching what God had laid on the hearts of these precious missionaries. We also Skyed others missionaries around the world. That always adds so much to a Mission meeting!

Sunday services were outstanding and the people went way beyond anything we thought they could do. These dear people gave to so many mission projects and needs it was truly a Missions Revival!

Thank you Bro. Arcand and Lighthouse Baptist Church!!!  

Our Family in the Philippines

We heard from Sam & Aileen and the grandkids.  They are safe!  They will be without power for at least 2 months.  Praying we can get them a generator!

  Here are a few pictures from the damage that their church and buildings had from the storm.

Typhoon in the Philippines

Typhoon Yolanda has hit the Philippines! We have our children and grandchildren as missionaries living there. 

It is one of the strongest typhoons in history. We are very concerned because the eye of the storm went right through the area where they are living. We haven't been able to be in contact with them. Sometimes being the parents and grand parents can be challenging. Please pray that they are safe!

October 18 - 20, 2013

I have spent the past few days with Pastor Patrick Heuveline and the Twin City Baptist Church in Brewer, Maine for their Mission's Conference. 

They had an outstanding banquet on Saturday night in which their ladies decorated each of the tables from different countries. The people were so excited and what great food we had!

October Prayer Letter

Northern Lights Baptist Church ~ Anchorage, Alaska

I was home 4 days from the Philippines and my sweet wife washed my clothes and got me packed and ready to walk back out the door. I couldn't do all the traveling I do without her!

 I then flew to Anchorage, Alaska with Pastor Greg Clark and the Northern Lights Baptist Church.  Boy! Talk about a climate change from real hot to cold and some snow. 

I preached their Missions Conference and taught one day in their Bible Institute.  Praise the Lord!  We had over 40 different nationalities in the service on Sunday with people saved and baptized. The missionaries at the conference did a great job of presenting their fields of service.   This is a very exciting church to preach in with many great people!

Above is a picture of one of the young men that brought his convert and he got baptized that night.  

A Trip To The Philippines!

This is our son, Sam, and his family, missionaries to the Philippines

Our granddaughter, Ashley Heidenreich, in Philippines was put in the hospital with Dengue fever. She had been very sick and we put out a prayer request asking people to pray that she'd get better.  Thousands of people were praying for her and we received many emails of encouragement.  A church paid for my ticket to go over to be with her.  On August 27th, I flew to the Philippines.  By the time I got there she was doing better. God answered the prayers of His people and she has recovered.

While I was there the Lord opened so many doors for me to travel throughout the islands and preach. People were saved in all the services and in one service I was able to baptize 27 people. There were opportunities to go soul winning, preach in public school and hold Bible studies. 

When the trip ended there were 7,046 people saved!

There's no doubt in my mind that God had me go on this trip for a reason!

Mt Olivet Baptist Church ~ Lexington, KY

Praise the Lord!  On August 16 -18th, I traveled to Lexington, KY to preach a Mission’s Conference at Mt Olive Baptist Church for Pastor Dewayne Walker. They had some exciting missionaries at the conference and I was willing to go with all of them to their field. 

The great thing was that we saw people saved and baptized during the services. Also, I was able to lead a man to Christ outside of my hotel.  

It's always exciting to end out a conference and they are able to add missionaries to their mission’s program.

Bristoria Baptist Church ~ Holbrook, PA

I flew out to be with a dear friend of mine, Pastor Gary Crawford and Bristoria Baptist Church. We had a great weekend and I really enjoyed fellowshipping with the church members. This church loves missions and gives faithfully to getting the Gospel to other countries. Pray as they add a new building.  I always enjoy spending time with these people.
