Merry Christmas!! Goodness, can you believe it is already here?
May this season be a time of reflecting on the most important gift ALL of us has been given: JESUS!
I hope this finds you all well! Unfortunately, we’re not. It seems all of us are battling the flu or recovering from it so we’d appreciate the prayers for our family’s health. (Update... we're pretty much all better! Yea!!)
On the ministry side of things, I thought I’d tell you what Dano was up to Friday (the 18th that was)!
He was in charge of a 50 hour inspection on a Cessna 172. What makes this inspection note worthy is that one of the guys that Dano had working with him, Rio, is here from Indonesia.
Rio is here to become a pilot to serve back in his home country of Papua, Indonesia. As you may recall, this is where we have felt called to serve since 2000.
So Dano had the privilege of serving Papua, Indonesia Friday as he helped train Rio in this inspection! Maybe one day, Dano and Rio will be serving side by side THERE in Papua!
In the meantime, we serve here with YOU at our side! It would be IMPOSSIBLE to serve in missions without your FAITHFUL, MONTHLY support!! It would be IMPOSSIBLE to serve without your SPECIAL GIFTS that fill in the gaps! It would be IMPOSSIBLE to serve without your FAITHFUL PRAYERS!! Thank you!!
Maybe you find yourself looking to give an end of the year gift to a worthy cause. We hope you will pray about giving your gift to serve BIBLE TRANSLATION… what could be more worthy than giving the gift of GOD’S WORD to those who don’t have it? Did you know current estimates suggest around 353 million people speaking 2,252 languages may have a need for Bible translation? Will you partner with us monthly or with a special gift to help these people know God in a personal way through HIS WORD? Not only does the WORD OF GOD transform their spiritual lives, but it brings positive changes to their communities including literacy, health education, agricultural development, and many other positive elements! Thank you for praying about your part in changing lives! Your special gifts will also help us “catch up” from the short fall we have experienced in 2009.
