WE MADE IT THROUGH ANOTHER WEEK!!

Greetings from the Endeavor !

We made it through another week, where Judy has had an up and down week. She is continuing to gain more and more strength each passing day and wanting to try to do more around the motorhome. Over the weekend she went to the Sunday morning worship with John. We had 13 present, we also were delighted to have Kelly come and lead music with her guitar. Barbara also sang a beautiful solo for us again. In the afternoon Judy and John then walked around outside for about 15 minutes, walking 1/2 way out to the main road and back.

We may be leaving Coffeyville shortly, depending on what we find out from Judy's doctor this week. If we leave early we are going to head on out to Casa Grande and spend January at Sunscape RV Resort, with CRM Chaplains Don and La Von Baker. This is a LARGE RV park and they are averaging over 120 in worship on Sundays. Sunscape is mostly older Sno-birds and has quite a few people in the various hospitals at times.

Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm will NOT be excited to leave here, as they get to go play outside once a day. Pebbles really enjoys it, as she as found a little gray play toy (an alive one). Then there is that over 1,000 miles trip. They aren't looking forward to that.

As we are in the Thanksgiving Season The Longs On the Road are thankful:(1) to God that he has given them the opportunity to serve him in this unique way.(2) that he has given them the adequate health to accomplish what they do. (3) for all of our Family and friends, that have been so supportive of our endeavors. (4) for our fellow NOMADS that take time to volunteer at so many needed areas of the country, without them a lot of GODS work could not be accomplished. (5) for our fellow CHRISTIAN RESORT CHAPLAINS, whom serve in so many different area proclaiming CHRISTS' great redemption messages.(6) for all of those that God has favored this past year with answered prayers for medical concerns and wisdom in planning their courses of actions for the year. (7) for each other and the strength that we lend to each other. (8) that CHRIST CAME TO EARTH TO DIE for OUR SINS ,SO THAT WE MAY HAVE EVER LASTING LIFE with OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. (9) for all of you that have chosen to be a part of our ministries by participating with either your prayers; encouragement by letters and e-mails or phone calls; or those that have seen the need to provide the financial resources that have allowed us this great opportunity to represent CHRIST.

May God Blessing go out to you all at this time of year.
and remember that we owe each of you a huge hug next we see you.

The Longs on the road for Christ: Judy and John
along with those Traveling Cats Bamm-Bamm and Pebbles.

WEEK 7- COFFEYVILLE, KS.

Good Evening from the Endeavor:
This week has finally slowed down, for various reasons, but the main one is that Judy was released from the Jane Phillips Medical Center late on Tuesday afternoon. THANK YOU JESUS!! While in Bartlesville, we went to Wal-Mart supercenter to secure the new Medications the Doctors, sent home for her. We also gathered up a few of the essentials that needed to be restocked.
Took Litl Red and topped off her tank, since gasoline is around $.40 a gallon cheaper than in Coffeyville.

Wednesday the intake case worker for home health care came out and set Judy up for visits from an Occupational Therapists, a Physical Therapists, and a home health nurse to monitor her vitals. Each of them are probably coming out 2 days a week. Judy has an appointment on Nov.30Th with Dr. Kirkpatrick, in Bartlesville. If it goes has well as anticipated the trip to Oklahoma City shouldn't be needed. THANK YOU JESUS!!

My week was mainly doing things in the Endeavor, and outside sorted of getting it ready for colder weather. I also made sure that the Workampers had their mail and paychecks on Mon,Wed, Thurs, 2p.m.-6p.m. and then on Friday from 9a.m.-6 p.m.

I worked on my lesson for Sunday Morning; Philippians 4:2-9

Sunday Service was rather slim; 9 (probably because a lot of the workampers are on OT up to 55-60 hrs a week (and these folks are retired Seniors). Also the lower attendance may have been affective by the continuing rain from late Saturday and through Sunday morning.At least it wasn't SNOW Also workers are starting to leave for various reasons, burnout; to hard for them,especially with the mandatory OT; some for health issues; some for better winter assignments;and some to escape the colder weather threat.


This week John's cousin Grace Long Harris lost her husband Daniel, to cancer. Our good friend from Vining, Ia., Cheryl Cibula, lost her brother. We are praying for these families and their lost one.

Our jell-o schedule has already taken a jiggle, we are NOT heading to Galveston, TX. for the revolving team project, in January. Thinking that Judy would still need more recuperating time. So we are headed on out to Sunscape RV Resort in Casa Grande, Az. during January where we will team up with Don and La Von Baker,
and take in more pointers on the chaplaincy.We will be there from around the 4th of Jan til the 3rd of Feb. Then resume our stated jell-0 schedule. With the slight change of returning to Sunscape as often as possible, to assist the Bakers'

This week Express Pro is expecting another 35 -70 Workampers arriving to start next Sunday. So we will be greeting those that arrive here in Coffeyville.


Again we are truly blessed with great friends and family, to which we are thankful to God for them. We also would like to thank all of those that have been praying for us (ESPECIALLY DURING JUDY'S HOSPITAL STAYS) We want to say thanks to those who have been so gracious with their calls of concern and encouragement, emails and notes along with special mentions in their respected social network medias.

We really thank God for those that have chosen to be a special part of our ministries by becoming financially involved, as with out this participation we could NOT be as effective out here on the road ministering to the RV community or taking part in NOMAD projects.

I promise to try to get some new pictures incorporated into the next blog, so that you all can get a feel for our work here in Coffeyville. UNTIL Then

May GOD Blessings be upon you all
and take this really HUGE HUG from THE LONGS- ON THE ROAD FOR CHRIST:JUDY AND JOHN
