Catching Up With The Nettervilles - December 9, 2015

I didn't realize how long it had been since I had posted on my blog.  Isn't it amazing how times gets away from us.  I am pleased to say we are enjoying serving the Lord.  I am going to try to update y'all on what is going on.

Many of you already know we are missionaries with Ambassador Baptist Ministries. We are serving out of Faith Baptist Church, Bourbonnais, IL and Bro. Terry Anglea is our pastor.  We help start new churches and help small churches. We sold our home in Pasadena, Texas and bought us a 5th wheel trailer, truck and we travel around the United States.  People ask us where we live and I reply "where ever our trailer is parked.  It has been a year and a half since we got started and we are loving it.  What a blessing to go in and help small churches.  We have been there and know what they go through.  When we go to a small church, we may stay 3 or 4 weeks and help in whatever we can.  I will work the nursery, we will go out soul winning, we will help clean, we will babysit the preachers children so he and his wife can have a date night.  We also have been blessed to help start 2 new churches.  One in Breckenridge, Texas and the other in Springfield, Illinois both are still doing a great job.

As Scott calls trying to set up meetings for our deputation, almost every 3rd or 4th call is a small church asking us to come help them.  We have been blessed that we spend about half our time helping churches and the other half on our deputation.  Please pray with us to raise our support so we can concentrate on helping and starting churches.

  

Time to Catch UP - Aug. 9, 2014

A lot has happened since my last post. The Lord has impressed upon our hearts to serve Him in another way. In April of this year we sold our house and bought us a 5th wheel trailer and a truck so that we could travel where ever the Lord would direct us as missionaries. We left on a Monday evening a headed up to Illinois. Wow, we were both excited! I must say I was probably more excited as we were finally moving back up north and close to my family. We joined Faith Baptist Church in Bourbonnais, IL and have been sent out as missionaries to help plant new churches and to help small struggling churches. Our pastor Terry Anglea and the folks there have been very supportive and helpful in getting us on our way. So our journey started to raise support, but before we could even really get started in that area, churches were calling us for help. So we left on May 15 and headed to Quincy, Illinois to help a church there. What a blessing that was for us. Our next church was in Effingham, Illinois, then Rock Falls, Illinois and while there had a call from another church but was not able to go there because our schedule would not allow us right now. We got a call from a man who was in our church and asked to come preach his wife's funeral. We headed to Texas July 27. We were headed to Cleveland, TX, then Scott preached the funeral and then headed back to Baytown, TX. Scott is preaching Aug. 10 evening service in New Caney, TX and then we have some other appointments the rest of the month in Texas. We will head to the Fort Worth area, Burleson, Joshua, TX and he will be preaching there. Now I would like to ask for prayer, as my next MD Anderson appointment is this Thursday, Aug. 14 at 1:00 pm for blood work and then 2:00 pm with the doctor. This is a routine 6th month check up. Hopefully I will be able to keep this more up to date. Sometimes we are parked in an area where there is no Wifi or phone service. That is not fun. But we are so enjoying traveling all over but most of all helping churches and encouraging pastors and their wives. We have been there and know what small churches go through. When you think of us, please pray for Ambassador Baptist Ministries. Safety as we travel, support and good health for both of us.

Summer Time - June 28, 2013

I can't believe it has been so long since I posted on my blog. I guess that just shows I am way too busy. Yes, a lot has been going on in our lives these last few months. I will not go into all the details but just continue to pray for us. Since school got out we have been really busy...but it has been great not having to work summer school. Getting up at 3:30 am every morning I think was having it toll on Scott and I. His mom had surgery a week ago Monday to have a total shoulder, she is in rehab and doing fine. She is looking forward to get home. I would like to ask you to be praying for a co-worker who is having surgery next week (July 3)for breast cancer. Also, my next appointment at MD Anderson will be July 25, as of May I have been cancer free for 3 years. Continue to pray I get a good report and remain cancer free. I try to share my experience whenever I can to be a blessing and to glorify my Lord. "...This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby." John 11:4 This is the verse that the Lord gave me when going through cancer for the 2nd time. We went to Kentucky a few weeks and was able to share my testimony, it was amazing how it touched some of the people in that service. Thank you Lord for using me.

For those of you who haven't heard or seen my new website please check it out. I am selling Lilla Rose Flexi Hairclips, I love them and so will you. Go to www.lillarose.biz/DNetterville when it opens watch the sizing and styling videos,(bottom right corner) when you want to order something just order and it will be mailed directly to your house. Well, I must close for now. Hopefully I will do a better job of posting. God bless.

Update on my New Website

Some of you have probably already seen my website posted on Facebook. Today I just wanted to share more information for you so you will know more about the Flexi Clips. Once you go to the webpage there you will see all of the products you can buy online. They also have videos so you will know what size hair clip to purchase. There are 7 sizes (Mini, Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large and Mega) so you will be able to find just the right size for you and for different hairdos. I have received 5 hair clips in my kit and have used them. They are not tight and do not slip out. I also have used the headband, it is adjustable and doesn't get tight on your head like most headbands do. Other items are hair sticks, you-pins, bobby pins, o-rings and badge holders. The hair clips can also be used decorative clips for scrafs worn around neck. So take some time and check it out. I really love my Flexi Clips. I have gotten many comments. www.lillarose.biz/DNetterville

Check out the Flexi Clip for February.

Update - 6 month check up - Jan. 10, 2013

First of all thank you for all your prayers. God has answered again. Praise the Lord! Everything is OK, my CA125 was 10.2. I am good for another 6 months. I asked when I will go to once a year and Dr. Soliman said after the 5th year after my last chemo. So this May it will be 3 years for me. I am just blessed and thankful for God's healing again. As we were driving to MD Anderson we were talking about this May will be 10 years that we have been making trips back and forth. Remembering my first appointment in May of 2003 and feeling overwhelmed and scared as to what lied ahead. So thankful for each and everyone at MD Anderson that took care of me or even just shared a word of encouragement. Again, if you know of anyone going through cancer, this is the place to go for treatment. It amazes me how people who live right here in Houston that may be going through cancer choose other options for their treatment. Also, please continue to pray for our co-workers who are going through cancer just to mention a few names for you to be praying for: Dawn, Becky, Marie, Pattie It seems everytime we turn around someone else has cancer I was thinking back when I was a child and hearing that my grandmother's sister (on my dad's side) had cancer. I don't know what kind it was but remembering thinking "I wonder if I can catch it". It use to be that when you heard the word cancer, you automatically thought of death. I remember them telling me I had cancer, and that was the furtherest thing from my mind. I am so thankful that I had the Lord to lean on and trust for my healing. We ought to thank the Lord for everyday HE gives us.

Happy New Year - January 2, 2013

Happy New Year to each and everyone of you. Hope y'all are looking forward to a great year. It has some time since I have since I have written on my blog. I guess it started August of 2012, when a man came by our house and asked if it was For Sale. We had had it up For Sale but nothing serious. Scott told him "Maybe". Apparently they had seen the house when we had it For Sale and came back to check. So the process began, and it was a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggg process. We had hoped the house would of sold during the summer, since our work schedule is alot better, time wise. He signed a contract and I started packing. We also were in earnest looking for a house for us to move into. We were looking at foreclosures, while some were really bad and then were some out of our price range. With all this going on, thinking we would close sometime at the end of September. Also, school had started and our hours back to crazy plus all the work at the church. We found a house we liked but was still too high, so I continued to look. One day I was looking and I told Scott the house was off the market. I was sad. But I continued looking and found it was still on the market but the price had dropped by $10,000. He said let's call and check on it. So we made an offer and waited. In the meantime, we were not going to be able to close by the end of September. So we moved all our stuff to the church. Oh, yeah now we have no place to live??????? A preacher friend had offered us to stay in their profit's chamber for a couple of weeks. Then we found out from Scott's sister that her mother-in-laws house was empty with all the furniture still in it. Thank you Lord. So we moved into her house, thinking it would be just a couple of weeks. We had stuff at the church and now stuff at the house we will be staying at. The buyers for our house decided they needed an extension so they could get more money to do some work on the house. We are NOT happy. We moved out of our house on October 5. Alot of things going on with both houses, revival at church, and while the revival was going on we took the preacher and others out to eat. By the time Scott & I got to the house we were staying at, we were sooooooooo sick. FOOD POISONING, now we miss work along with everything else. Our stay at this house was 4 weeks, missed work for sickness and now we have to take off to close on the houses. That was another story, of where we had to go to sign and the deadlines, but God helped us through it all. Scott finally took time off and got us moved into our new house on Nov. 6. It has been very stressful and hard months, but am looking forward to enjoying our new house. If you are on facebook you can see the pictures of our new house. To update you on my health I am doing great. My next appointment at MD Anderson is January 10. So please be in prayer for good results again. God has been so good to me. Also, be in prayer for a couple of our co-workers Dawn & Becky they both have cancer. Hopefully I will be better at keeping my blog up to date.

May 20, 2012

It has been awhile since I posted on my blog. It is a shame that we get so busy that we don't take time to share our thoughts and requests with friends and family. As I see I haven't posted since my last appointment at MD Anderson. Well, it is almost time for my next appointment at MD Anderson again, it will be June 12. So continue to pray that I will receive another good report. If you or someone in your family has had cancer or is going through cancer, this time can be anxious for them. We have several on our prayer list with cancer. Here are a few I would like you to be praying for Missionary Paul Pelletier, Rose Theis, Pattie Walker, Leah Adams, Joanne Nelson, Stella Cheverere and the list goes on. As I mentioned being busy, things have been pretty busy at our church. We just finished up a 5 week campaign and it went very well. We had souls saved every week during the campaign and had families join us. That is what it is all about. Souls to be saved, nothing greater is to see someone get saved. We had a young man get saved this morning. God is so good. Our hearts our burdened for our city, s u[tate, nation, but even more so for our family and friends that are lost. We must take the time to share Jesus with them. Just the thought of someone burning in hell. Wow! Let's all get busy for the Lord. If you are reading this and you don't know Jesus as your Saviour, PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! I BEG YOU TO GET SAVED TODAY!!! Time is very short before the Lord will return. So continnue to read and I will share with you in how you can be saved. After going through cancer twice I wrote a gospel tract and here is what is in. First, alittle testimony and then the gospel. My name is Debbie Netterville, and I am a Ovarian Cancer survivor, twice. In May of 2003 I was diagnosed the first time with Ovarian cancer. I was treated at MD Anderson and went 6 years cancer free. Praise the Lord! Then on December 22, 2009 at my yearly check up I was told that it was back. That was my worst night mare. So then I was scheduled for surgery on January 4, 2010. My last chemo treatment was May 27, 2010. As of my last check up, I am still cancer free. Again, Praise the Lord! I thank the doctors at MD Anderson for everything they have done for me, but I just want to introduce you to my "GREAT PHYSICIAN". I could not of gone through cancer twice without Him. He gave me and my family the grace and mercy to go through these hard journeys. The doctors can do all tha they can do, but he has healed me." My verse for the first round of cancer was "...I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee:" II King 20:5 The verse for this second round is, "...This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby." John 11:4 So my mission is to share my "GREAT PHYSICIAN" with everyone I can. You Can Be Saved And Know My Great Physician The Fact of Sin is that all are sinners. Romans 3:10 "...there is none righteous, no, not one:" Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" The Penalty for Sin is Death and Hell. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death..." Rev. 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving...shall have their part in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone:" Jesus Died to Pay for Our Sin. Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." The Individual Response to the Gospel means that one cannot work to save himself, one must turn from self or religion and ask God to save them. Romans 10:9,10 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." If in your heart you believe and are willing to meet THE GREAT PHYSICIAN to be saved you must repent of your sin and place your faith in Jesus as Saviour. Call upon the Lord by praying to Him: "Dear Lord, I confess that I am a sinner. I repent of my sin, and ask you for mercy and forgiveness through the shed blood of your Son, Jesus. I believe your promise, that from this moment on, according to your Word, I will be your child and that you will reserve a home in Heaven for me. Thank you for saving me, in Jesus name. Amen." Now, if you have received the Lord as your Saviour, please let me know. Going through cancer is an awful thing for you and for your family. The best way to travel through this valley is with the Lord. He gives grace and strength just when you need it the most. Also, share this with your family and friends.
