Busy Year

I'm terribly sorry for not keeping things up to date but God has blessed this ministry mightily this year as it's been a very busy year, with many opportunities to share God's love. I couldn't have done this without the help of you all, though, as you've come through on every request, helping us to meet the needs of others, both those in the church and the community. We've even been called to tear down one of the church rentals to help make room for the new sanctuary, where God willing we'll be able to reach more people for Christ.

I'm really looking forward to enjoying this Christmas season, reflecting on Christ's birth and what he has meant to my family and I this last year. I pray that you also have a blessed Christmas, get some much needed rest and that you also look forward to what God has in store for this ministry in 2008. Be aware of those you come in contact with and when you see a need be sure to share that need with the team so that we can see if we can;'t meet that need.

Proverbs 19:17
He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done.

Proverbs 21:13
If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered.

Proverbs 22:9
A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.

Proverbs 28:27

He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses.

Colossians 3:12

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.1 John 3:17-18
If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

Merry Christmas
