Loving greetings from my home to yours. In an increasingly unthankful society there is all the more reason to thank God for every good and perfect gift we have and will receive. But we do know that the most important gift is His Son Jesus Christ. Let us celebrate Him as the center of this Christmas season.
I returned from North America on the 4th October and since that time I have been ministering in churches and prayer groups sharing the Word and encouraging interest in our missions. By the end of the year I will have been in 10 places including a Marae. I am thankful for these opportunities which the Lord opened. The main theme has been the last great harvest of new believers and it has been wonderful to see young people responding to the call to become laborers in that harvest. The interest in missions is increasing as the Holy Spirit moves on hearts worldwide. I praise God for that and desire to impart the vision to the young as often as I can.
I began regular missions prayer meetings in my home and in other areas too earlier this year and they have been making a difference. I am challenged by the Word says "The earnest, heartfelt, continued prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available - dynamic in its working."
James:5:16Confess
Another Team has come together for yet another visit to India in early 2008. We have eight persons, mostly young people. We leave on 16th January 2008 for three weeks. We have been taking these teams since 1992 and it still excites me that we have such an awesome opportunity to obey the great commission. There will be village meetings, Leaders' seminars, children's meetings, Leprosy village visits and of course our orphanages. We will be traveling in three southern states of India sharing the Word as we go. We will be dedicating two new church buildings and a new van. What a privilege and blessing that will be!
News from our friends in India is that new areas are being reached with success and our workers are faithfully preaching in very difficult areas. Our children are doing well and are happy in the Lord. The leprosy village people are happily enjoying their new goats and they are making a difference to their lifestyle.
I do appreciate each one of you and thank you with all my heart for your faithfulness in prayer and in giving. To our regular sponsors I say a big thank you and may God bless you in all you put your hand to.
I wish you a very blessed Christmas season with those you love and if you live alone may His presence fill your heart and home with His joy and peace. Jesus IS the reason for the season.
Shalom,
Nancy
