"And the angel of the Lord said unto them, Fear not:  for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10-11

We would like to begin our prayer letter by wishing each one of you a joyous Christmas!  As we busy ourselves with the holiday season, let’s not ever forget the reason for the season and that is our blessed Savior’s birth.  Certainly it is good tidings of great joy and it is to all people.  The Gospel is good news to all who hear it.  It is our responsibility to carry that good news to all people.  Thank you for your prayers and financial support that enables us to co-labor with you to get the gospel to those that have never heard!

During the month of November I preached in four different Mission Conferences.  When I preach these conferences I am able to  not only help the church, but it also opens doors for our missionaries to get in these conferences and prayerfully get support.  We were able also to spend some time with our family during Thanksgiving.  My parents and Jan’s parents are still living and we feel very blessed each year during the holidays to have them with us.

During the month of December I will be flying to South Dakota to be with two of our missionaries, Brother Jesse Hailey and Brother Duane Earwood.  Please pray that I can be a blessing to these men and their families.  For the most part, December is kind of a slow month.  But by this time of the year, we welcome a few days off.  It gives us some time to look back over the past year and to be reminded of God’s mercies and blessings on us.  The Lord is good and we feel very honored to represent you here in North America as we labor together to get the good tidings of great joy to all people.


MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOURS!
