Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from snowy Moncton! 

Our hearts have been humbled again by the amazing Gift of God of a Savior who “though he was rich, yet for [our] sakes He became poor, that [we] through his poverty might be rich.”  (2 Cor. 8:9) We are thankful for the many opportunities throughout this season to share this Good News and for the many unsaved visitors that have attended special Christmas events at church, despite the uncertainties facing our world.  On December 3, we held our first Winter recital with our music students which was attended by some unsaved family members and friends, including an elementary school teacher.  Both Caleb and Josiah took part in the Christmas pageant that the youth group presented on December 12, which they had prepared during the homeschool co-op.

We are so blessed to have Adrianna with us for her Christmas vacation from BJU — though our time with her is flying by way too quickly.  She flies back to Greenville on January 8.  We are thankful for the way God has blessed her very full first semester and for the way she is following the Lord.  One of the blessings has been singing in the University Singers Choir with nearly 100 other students and taking part in several concerts.  We were thrilled that she was here to join our family as we sang in the Christmas Eve Candlelight service. 

As we look to an uncertain future in a world shaken with fear and unrest, we rejoice to know the Sovereign God who is working out His plan while extending His love and grace to all. May He help us all to serve and glorify Him in the New Year as He tarries! Thank you for your prayers for our family and for our ministry for Him.
