Merry Christmas!

Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:10-11

Joy to all: This verse is so familiar to us that we don’t stop to think about some of those words and the meaning of them. Good tidings of great JOY which will be to ALL people. Those of us who know the Savior, Jesus Christ the Lord, have every reason to be full of JOY! Yet, there are billions in this world who still have no knowledge of Him. As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, remember those who do not know about Him yet; please PRAY for laborers to take the good news to those still waiting to learn of His love.

Thank you: We are thankful for each one who is part of our lives and the ministry to the Higaunon people in the Philippines. Thank you for praying and giving to make it possible for us to continue with translation of Scripture for them. Lance finished the rough draft of 1 Chronicles and is now working on 2 Chronicles.

Please pray:

• Please pray for our upcoming road trip the end of this month to visit ministry partners in Alabama, Florida and South Carolina. Sadly we probably won’t have time to see everyone we would like to see, but if you’d like to see us, please contact us and we’ll see if we can work something out. Please pray for safety, good health and that we’ll be a blessing to all we connect with.
• Please pray that we will be able to book our April flight to the Philippines soon.

Praying for you: As we send this out we pray that God would bless you as you celebrate Christ’s coming to save us and that you will have a wonderful New Year as you walk with Him.

Secure in Christ’s love,

Lance & Laura
