Merry Christmas and Lots of Travel in the New Year

 Merry Christmas and Lots of Travel in the New Year

December 2025

We have communicated with many of you by way of a written letter we sent out last week, wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and thanking you all for your continued support and prayers. Our ministry in 2025 accomplished much because of your involvement and partnership. Thank you so much!

In that communication we shared that we will be going to Jamaica January 17 - 24,to meet with our missionary, Deirdre Graham, who has been very involved in relief efforts since Hurricane Melissa hit the Island in October. WGM and many financial partners have made generous relief efforts possible by providing necessary life saving supplies to those in great need during this natural disaster. We will be traveling with our co-workers Rev. Greg and Teresa Leeth and will have opportunity to partner with Deirdre in ministry and provide some respite and renewal. We are thankful for the special financial gifts from many to help make this trip possible. 

Just a day after our Christmas letter dropped in the mail, we received a special invitation from Soul Shepherding, a ministry partner of WGM, inviting us to provide a retreat for over 50 missionaries and pastors serving in Baja California and in the mainland. We will be traveling to Tijuana Jan. 7 - 11 for this retreat.  We have the main reponsibility of presenting for this retreat and will be leading this missionaries and pastors in a time of spiritual renewal. 

We are calling on you reading this email today, to join with us in prayer for this Mexico retreat effort. We are keenly aware that we must have the anointing of God and a fresh move of the Holy Spirit on our hearts to meet this opportunity. The folks that are attending this retreat are involve in church leadership, discipleship, as well as educational ministries. Many of those that will be attending have been very involved in ministry efforts and are in need of rest and renewal for their own souls. 

Pray with us that we will have the heart and mind of God to deliever a message of encouragment that will bring unity, and renewal of hearts. 

Pray with us that we will have good conversations that will encourage and help to keep ministries thriving.

Pray that we will be able to listen with empathy and reflect the heart of God for His servants. 

Pray for our travels to Mexico and Jamaica that we will be responsive and sensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. 

Thanks so much for standing with us in prayer. We know that it makes the difference, always. 

Perhaps you would like to make a special gift to support these ministries that God has placed before us. It is easy to make a safe and secure contribution to our ministry at www. wgm.org/mcgrady  or by mail to WGM, Box 948, Marion, IN 46952 with a note McGrady Ministry.

Blessings,
