Spain, December 25, 2011
Our
family wishes each of you a very meaningful and blessed
Christmas!
May you also enjoy many blessings in
2012!
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
The Alpedrete Church celebrated its Christmas program at
the Villalba Church building again this year. We all
watched and listened attentively as 26 children from the
church sang and performed a drama about a star humble
enough to lead wise men from afar to the infant child
Jesus. A small choir of eleven voices also
participated in singing “Glory to God in the
highest” and “Praise to the King.”
A challenge was given at the end of the service to follow
the Light of the World. Many of the 88 people who
attended stayed for a time of refreshments
afterwards. Pray that the message that was
transmitted throughout the evening will continue to speak
to the hearts of both believers and nonbelievers who
attended.
OPERATION
CHRISTMAS CHILD
The Alpedrete Church gathered 52 boxes (36 from Alpedrete
congregation and 16 from neighbors in Collado Mediano
thanks to a cell group from our church that meets there)
for the Operation Christmas Child. The boxes sent
from Spain are going to Equatorial Guinea in Africa.
Interestingly enough, it is the only Spanish-speaking
country in Africa. If there were enough boxes some
will also be given to children in some of the tribes that
live in the Sahara Desert. We are thankful that both
our church and the Villalba Church participated in this
effort. May God use it to bring more to a saving
knowledge of Christ.
FWBIM FAMILY FOCUS: The Johnsons &
others
On December 10 Free Will Baptist International Missions
sent out a news release, which you can read by
clicking this link. This news affects
all of us as a Mission. Although, we are not some
of the ones staying in the States to raise more support,
we are definitely affected by this decision. The most
direct impact for us is the delayed return of our
teammates, Tim & Kristi Johnson. We ask you to
pray for them as they stay on for a while longer, and
for us as we continue to labor on without our
teammates. Please pray for this tremendous need.
We also ask you to consider giving a monthly gift
to help spread
the good tidings of great joy, which shall be to ALL
people. We also want to thank each one who has
been giving this year and many who have given for
several years.
