Merry Christmas to our supporters and friends in ministry.
We were able to reach to many of you to wish you a very happy holiday season, but just in case we missed someone, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
At the start of this year 2023, we both thought that this would be a year when we would not travel as much and focus on the work around WGM and support our team members as they travel out to our many mission fields. Boy, were we mistaken. I think we traveled as much, if not more in 2023.
We found ourselves with ministry opportunities in England, Albania, Czech Republic, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Scotland as well as a few trips out west to some of our US based mission ministry locations. Pictured here is a visit to a wonderful family we love so much, Billy and Joanna Coppedge and their kiddos. We sure loved our visit with them as well as all the missionaries we connected with throughout this year.
We had no idea we would respond to a crisis as a result of tribal warfare, or to war being declared in the Middle East. It sure kept us on our toes as mental health counselors, pastors and support folks. We have often said, we are honored to walk alongside of these giants of the faith that are on the front lines serving Jesus and serving others in remarkable ways.
Which brings us to you. We could not do this work with out you. We know for sure that your prayers and your financial support has made our ministry happen. We praise Jesus for YOU!
Thank you so much for standing with us in prayerful support. You are helping us make THE difference in the world for good, for the Gospel and most of all in partnership with this ministry.
May the Christ of Christmas fill your hearts to capacity. We will stay tuned to what Jesus has for us in 2024. I am sure it will be exciting to see how He leads. Will join with us and follow Him in 2024.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
