"As we celebrate together the good news the Christ is born, may the hope and peace of Christmas bless your life"
Christmas is one of the most holy and anticipated times of the year for Christians all around the world. Similar preparations and traditions, decorations celebrations, music, and worship observances, the giving of gifts, and gathering of families and friends; all of these rituals that mark this important event in the life of our faith are replicated by Christians everywhere.
During this holy season, please take a moment to remember our missionaries. Pray for them; that God will keep them safe; and grant them His guidance and peace.
We are adding their addresses, and encourage you to send a holiday card or note. We are also including E mail addresses, so that you can send messages of encouragement and support.
