I thank you in advance for your love and support for our brothers and sisters in their work in Mexico.<\/p>\n
I have posted photos of the children’s ministry in Buenos Aires onto the Ministry Webpage under the “NEW PHOTOS SECTION” –\u00a0 the very large red button at the top of this page.\u00a0 Also, please view the above videos to see what ministry work is really like in so many places around the world. The floor and complete grounds were dirt and became pure mud in the rainy season, the “kitchen” most certainly would not have passed a food inspector’s scrutiny, nor, I can guarantee you, did the workers have a “Food Handlers Certificate”, there were no walls, the serving tables and benches were only recently upgraded from wooden planks on cinder blocks, and all of the accouterments were bare-bones. But I have found long ago that beautiful facilities don’t necessarily impress God too much, nor do they necessarily signify an active or God-serving ministry. Although nice amenities can be helpful and useful in any work, He always looks past the tools and desires to see the heart.<\/p>\n

I know that this was not a usual Christmas letter or blog. But this is the current need.<\/p>\n

May you be filled with the mystery and joy of Christmas as you remember and celebrate the incarnation of our Savior. He came the first time as a helpless baby, but He is coming again very soon as the Sovereign Lord \u2013 King of kings and Lord of Lords!<\/p>\n
May your Christmas season be filled with the love and joy of friends and family.<\/p>\n
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
