January Prayer Letter
Dear Friends, I am writing this letter as we prepare for our Christmas pageant. The children have been rehearsing and preparing costumes so that they can bring the Christmas message to their parents and family.

January 2007 Prayer Letter

Dear Friends and Family, Thank you so much for your prayers as I traveled to India and Nepal a few weeks ago. (I'm writing this in early November because of the time it takes to print, fold, stuff, seal, and send all the WMF letters). I had a wonderful time in both countries…
December 2006 Prayer Letter
Dear friend and family, Merry Christmas! Although it's probably not actually Christmas day as you read this, we wanted to take the opportunity in this letter to wish you a holiday season full of hope and newness. May each of you sense and celebrate the beautiful truth of Emmanuel, God with us. Just recently I…
