Merry Christmas
Many have asked us how we could sell our home and leave family to pursue missions. Well, over 2,000 years ago, God left all of the splendor and glory of heaven and humbled Himself to be born in a stable. We are thankful we can celebrate this holiday because of the sacrifices Jesus made so long ago.
This year is special for many tribal people as it is the their first time celebrating Christmas...ever. Missionaries lived with them, learned their language, and shared with them the gospel of Jesus Christ. Some understood and accepted the truth and now they have reason to celebrate...do you?
From our home to yours, we want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
Love,
John, Julie,
Rachel, Nathan, and Bekah

Late Merry Christmas to you all! Thank you for bringing up a fact that I had not thought of: that for many tribal people this is the first Christmas they have EVER celebrated...sobering thought. May the LORD use you to bring the knowledge of HIS wonderful grace to all you know, and those you will know in the future!
