2023 New Year’s Letter


“I will praise you, Lord, among the peoples; 
I will sing praises to you among the nations”.
Psalm 57:9.

Dear Friends,

I have racked my brain over what I should say, if I write at all, in this year’s letter to our friends. I want a letter like this, if possible, to do more for you than for us. But how do I write a letter like that. We are so blessed it is embarrassing. Here we are – Louise at 83, I am 87 – and still with a lively ministry. Not only that; I am as busy today as I was twenty years ago. I don’t understand this; I only know that I am totally undeserving and unworthy. I write this to caring friends to whom I say that I pray the same health, joy and energy for you. 

We love our condominium here in Nashville. If you follow our daily tweets, you know we have a spectacular view of the skyline. We are so thankful to be independent and, so far, not a burden to our children. My international ministry has opened up again, now that Covid appears to be behind us. Thanks to the kindness of Pastor Tim Dilena, our monthly preaching at Times Square Church continues. I also share our School of Theology lessons regularly with TSC. I have two more books coming out this year – Pleasing God, and The Isaac Promise. I am writing another – Their Finest Hour – to come out in 2024. When I am not on the road we attend Long Hollow Church near here, led by Dr. Robby Gallaty. With T. R.’s techy ability, in addition to daily sixty second tweets we send weekly thirty-minute Word and Spirit programs that continue to be used three times a week on TBN UK in the United Kingdom. 

Louise truly enjoys our apartment. We are the happiest since living in our flat in London. With T. R. and me traveling regularly, one of our grandsons stays with Louise. Two of them – Toby and Timothy – have become really good at jiu jitsu. Annette home schools our three grandsons,  manages their little farm and has been working often assisting a midwife. 

Thank you for your prayers. When someone says, “I pray for you”, it is the kindest and most encouraging word we can hear.

Warmest greetings.

The Kendall Family.
