“He threw
himself at his feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.” Thus Luke pointed out that only one of the
ten lepers came back to give thanks after Jesus healed him of leprosy (Luke
17:11-19). The one who returned was a Samaritan,
a race hated and excluded by Jesus’ Jewish peers, and yet he found the will and
words to give thanks for God’s grace. If
the leper was so thankful for physical healing, how much more do we, who have
been healed body and soul, have to
give thanks? This Thanksgiving let us
return to the feet of Jesus to give thanks like the Samaritan.
Please join
us in giving thanks for:
-Our lively
and growing family that brings us so much joy so far from our original home.
-A daily
opportunity to give our full-time efforts to ministry because of your generous
support. So many foreigners with the
desire to serve can only stay in Haiti a few weeks a year because of their
vocations! We stay all year round!
-Love. This simple, yet profound word was what our
four-year-old daughter carefully spelled out first on her list of what she was
thankful for this year. We are thankful
for God’s love, love from others and love that we get the opportunity to express
toward others.
-A
successful five-day evaluation of the last three years of work done by the
Christian Reformed Church of Haiti.
There is much for which to give thanks!
Please join
us in praying for:
-God to
raise up visiting teams from our supporting churches that would like to come to
Haiti and help us to complete the Ministry for Christian Development Conference
Center this spring, 2014. If you are
interested, contact us as soon as possible.
-A good start
to the Savannette church construction project.
By the end of first week of December, the construction team will break
ground.
-Generous
support during this Christmas season for the upcoming seminar, “Obstacles to
Ministry and Biblical Solutions,” which we are holding in March, 2014, to
assist pastors with the challenges facing them in ministry.
