'Merry Christmas'
Dear Friends,
We do want to wish you all a Christmas season filled with God’s peace and joy as you celebrate our Saviour’s birth. Thank you so much for all of your encouragement, your prayers and financial support this past year. We do appreciate all of you so much. May you all experience God’s blessings in this coming year.
With our departure to South Africa only weeks away we are finding that time is rushing by at a giddy pace. Thank you for praying about renters for our home. We are glad to let you know that our prayers have been answered and the renters take occupancy in January.
The mission’s committee at our church have arranged a farewell for us, so any of you who are able to, please come. It will be a potluck supper held at Auburn Bible Chapel, Saturday January 6th at 5pm. We will be leaving Canada on January 15th.
Rose and I want to give thanks to God for many blessings and answered prayers in these past weeks.
Friends have offered to help with packing and in many other practical ways.
Derry O’Byrne, has offered to oversee our home while we are away.
Our mission’s committee arranged a fund raiser movie night and the upcoming farewell supper for us.
Betty Anne Woods, who helps Rose with a neighbourhood Bible Club will continue to have contact with the girls.
Funds are coming in for our trip and we are thankful for two new financial supporters.
Our involvement with the Trent Christian Fellowship was a wonderful and encouraging experience for us both. Please pray for these young people living for God at the university. We are thankful that another couple is willing to take on the mentoring role.
There is a potential new home for our dog Sebastian, so we hope that he will settle well once we make the transfer.
We will begin our time in South Africa by visiting Rose’s family in the Johannesburg area. We will then be doing a lot of traveling so would appreciate your prayers for our health and safety. Our first trip will take us to Cape Town to visit my sisters and their families. Then we will travel east, along the coast, to visit with relatives from Rose’s side of the family. Finally we will go into Mozambique to connect with our colleagues in Nampula. It will be the rainy season so will probably make travel in Mozambique difficult. Pray that we will not be hindered by washed out roads, damaged bridges and that we will be protected from malaria.
We are going to miss all of our precious family and friends here in Canada very much. Please pray for us and our family during this time of separation. We would like to pray for you to so please send us your prayer requests.
Our love and God’s blessings on you all.
