The snow is falling, the air is crisp, winter is here!
We are so blessed with family and friends during this Holiday Season. We pray that each of you have a wonderful time this Christmas season. What a marvelous event when Jesus came to earth, born as a baby. Hard to imagine God dwelling among us here on the earth as a man. We are so thankful that He came, lived and died on the cross for our sins, that we can have a relationship with God. Thank you LORD!!
With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas now here, we want to take this very special time of the Christmas Season to PRAY for each of you & thank you for your prayers and encouragement for us.
ENJOY AND CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF JESUS FOR HE IS WORTHY OF OUR ALL!
When we lived in Papua New Guinea we worked with NTM’s Interface program. We lived in the Bena Bena tribe. Now there are believers in that tribe, here are some of their testimonies:
Heva & Junais (young married couple); Jonson ( landowner; Heva’s father); Siyo & Sefe (an older married couple from a different Bena village who have been living in the area).
Their testimonies:
Heva – I used to think about earthly stuff all the time – my garden, girls, fighting, all kinds of cargo – but now all I can think about is rejoicing in God. He is changing me as I listen to His Talk.
Junais – God provided a substitute sheep for Isaac who died in Isaac’s place; and now He has done the same for me…Jesus is my substitute sheep that took my place so I didn’t have to die.
Jonson – I have heard some of this teaching before, but now this time it is so very clear. I’m a sinner and deserve to die for those sins, but God sent Jesus to pay for them instead of me.
Sefe – Long ago, Adam & Eve sinned and God removed them from Himself. All of us are now sinners and are outside of God’s fence. But then God sent Jesus to die on the cross to pay for sin, and now I am in God’s family because I believe what Jesus did for me. I am so thankful to be able to hear this Talk, and now I know that I am in God’s family…Jesus paid for me.
