December was a month of celebrations, the most important one being: Rejoicing in the remembrance of the birth of Christ our Savior! Unto us a child is born… Immanuel-God with us!
Other noteworthy celebrations for us in December:
The Greens. We said goodbye to Josiah and Jamie-Lee who served as THC interns from July-December. They are an amazing couple that impacted so many in their short time here. They showed Christ’s love in amazingly practical ways all over Greece but most especially throughout the gypsy neighborhood of THC. We wish them well as they begin seminary in St. Louis.
Christmas Love Meals. Three different opportunities to serve refugees and the homeless of Athens. The following is a link to a short video of the festivities. http://youtu.be/seL0Z7LKgdU
Christmas and New Years. The quiet of the season away from home and family allowed us more time to marvel anew at God's amazing gift to us in Jesus. And also to remind us what a special privilege it is to be here serving in His name. Thank you so much each and every one of you who equip and enable us to be here. Looking forward to the journey ahead in 2013!
Please pray with us:
-For wisdom as we prepare policy and procedure manuals for THC.
-For Mike and I as we contemplate moving to THC as the first houseparents.
-For the completion of the construction, furnishing & funding of THC.
-For sensitive promotion of this maternity home and for God to bring us just the pregnant girls who need help.
-Praise for our connection with a Greek midwife who is spreading the word for us.
