Best Christmas Gift Ever

Today I received one of the best Christmas gifts I can ever recall. A dear friend of mine told me a story where a life was impacted and Christmas cheer was spread to a family who couldn't make ends meet this Christmas . I feel blessed to have had this story shared with me! Sorry for the lack of details but I don't want to give anything away for my friend who heard this story in a confidential manner. Just use your imagination!

If you know of stories where our Lord has touched someone's life, PLEASE SHARE IT. We need to hear these stories to be encouraged of the work our GOD is doing in so many situations.

I pray that this year you may receive the treasured gift of that warm fuzzy feeling when you have true joy.. The joy that comes from our knowing our Saviour.. Joy to the World!

Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year!

Our work bearing fruit

I have to say in Haiti you have to be prepared for all things for every day is an adventure. I was busily working and my colleague Magguy popped in the office to say that 1 of our volunteers was here with his "foreign" wife and mother-in-law. Now the first thought that ran through my head was, "are they foreign because this the first time they've visited our office?". It never occurred to me that she meant foreigner, meaning blanc.. So I come out of my office and am very surprised to meet 2 Americans from Kentucky. It turns out that one of our volunteers who corrects bible study lessons for us is married to an American who he met here on short-term missions. Unfortunately, his mother-in-law was in a bit of rough shape since she had taken public transportation to get to our office and passed out from the heat, or crowds of people.. we're not exactly sure. So I offered to give them a ride back to their hotel. On the way back, my volunteer Denis Jean Rodolph was telling me how much he loved the bible study program and how he wanted to start an office in the USA when he immigrates there. He told me how much the lessons changed the way he read the bible and his wife even told me that he had said that everyone needed these lessons. I was very pleasantly surprised. It is so great to hear when God uses the work you are doing to bear fruit in someone's life.
Sorry i didn't think to get a picture of Denis with his wife until later so its just him.
