Praise and Prayer for December 19, 2008

Friday, December 19, 2008
The Lord has answered your prayers this past week, and we can tell that you were praying! First of all, the Choir Christmas party here in our home on Saturday went very well. It was a time of encouragement and bonding as we ate, sang and prayed together before laughing through a gift exchange game. Everyone seemed to have a delightful time together. Secondly, the Christmas program at our church was well attended and the presentations were well done. We were proud of the great job done by the children as they recited their verse and sang two songs. The choir and the Sango Bible study group both presented and did well. Please continue to pray that those who attended who have yet to make a decision for Christ, will consider what they heard last Sunday and take that step of faith. This coming Sunday we will be hosting a Christmas party here in our home for the Sango Bible study group. There will be some guests attending, so pray that the Gospel will be made clear as we share a film about Christmas.

We have been able to hand out some of the goodies we made to Adrianna’s teachers and a few fellow parents. Included in the package was a Christmas card including a CD of Christmas stories read along with Scripture and the plan of salvation. Please pray as we continue to pass a few more out that people will be receptive to the Gospel and willing to discuss what they hear.

Praise for:
- good fellowship together with the choir last Saturday.
- good attendance for the Christmas Program at church.
- God’s Gift to the world! Praise God for gifts and tracts that have been given out to those in our community.
- Caleb’s recovery after acute bronchitis and an asthma attack last weekend.

Pray for:
- the Sango Bible study group Christmas party and that visitors’ hearts will be open to Christ.
- Jonathan as he was diagnosed with shingles this week and is suffering.
- receptiveness as we share with neighbors the true meaning of Christmas.
