Christmas…for those who have not heard

I was sitting at a traffic light the other night, admiring the Christmas decorations on the old court house in our town, and I thought of the far-reaching effects Christ’s birth and resurrection on my life–spiritually, emotionally, physically, politically, and socially.  I remembered witnessing God’s amazing impact on a life while recently teaching in the war-torn Republic of Congo; there I saw that, through the pain, heartache and struggle of all of these horrible years, the believers’ faith and hope in God sustains and strengthens them, and His joy is evident in their lives.

Reflecting on the love, grace and strength that knowing Christ can bring, I have to wonder what insights, creativity, and Holy Spirit-led direction we will possess in the coming year,  allowing us to reach those who have never even heard the name of Jesus. Knowing what I do about His amazing ability to affect every aspect of my life, I really want that for “everyone… everywhere.”

With over 3 billion who have not yet received an adequate witness of the Gospel, it will take some wide-open thinking, Spirit-led strategies and pioneer volunteers who are willing to lay it all down.

I believe the year ahead will be the most exciting yet as God takes us to a new level in reaching the world for Him, seeing His far-reaching impact on more men, women and children.  Hey, if you want to be a part, give us a call! 

Have a wonderful Christmas!
