As summer comes to a close and the fall season sets in, I'm reminded of how important the rhythms of life are. Summer is a time when most of us in Canada try to enjoy a bit of vacation, beach days, evening campfires with s’mores, summer festivals, and the overall warmth of the summer sun.
Dear Conventions, Churches and friends of India. I greet you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I thank you for walking with us as we minister in India to empower and transform lives. You have helped us reach widows living in poverty, unemployed youth, alcoholics, struggling farmers, victims of human trafficking; as well as help educate kids, create a kids' sports ministry, ensure ministerial formation of theological students and sustainable projects to generate income. Also, thank you for your support of our Partners to be self-reliant and continue to proclaim and demonstrate the love of Jesus to the vulnerable in Asia.
As we begin this final week leading up to Christmas, and another year comes to a close, I've been reflecting on the goodness and faithfulness of God. Psalm 145:9 reminds us, "The Lord is good to all, and his mercies are over all his works". One of the ways that God reveals his goodness to us is through his people. So, with this in mind, I want to take one last opportunity to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for your faithful and generous prayers and support throughout the past year. God's goodness and faithfulness have been demonstrated through you.
