The Cry for Submission: Letter from the Editor by Emily Fales
January 2007 Prayer Letter
Hi all you wonderful people! I can't believe it's already time to write again. The past few months have been a blur, despite the major life changes. A quick update on finances: At the end of November, I had $3,890 in my support account, but Emily tells me I've had several checks come…

Christmas Prayers
December 2006 Dear Friends, I usually write a fairly long letter just before Christmas. This year I'm going to keep it short. The due date for this letter is hitting at a time when I am feeling ridiculously busy and tired. But that isn't to say I'm not looking forward to the season. I…
FearNot
December 2006 “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news…” (Luke 2:10) We all know the scene well: the Christmas shepherds in the field are surrounded by a host of angels, the glory of the Lord shines around them, and their initial response is fear. Actually, my translation says they were terrified. …
