Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
The holidays have come and gone and now we’re in a new year! Christmas was a wonderful time to relax with family and enjoy Abigail’s first Christmas. She couldn’t truly appreciate everything around her but she certainly liked helping Elizabeth wrap gifts. To me it looked like Abbie was eating more paper then anything and wrapping seemed to take Elizabeth a lot longer but it was also a lot more fun! We have enjoyed starting our own family traditions with this precious new baby. It is a joy to know that because of Christ we can raise our daughter knowing His truth and love as best we can. As we look to the new year I feel excited and a little nervous. Lord willing, we will be leaving for Cebu in March, 2012. We are preparing for this move and can’t wait to see what God is going to do in 2012! Happy New Year to you all and God bless!
Baptist Snow Camp 2011
Right after Christmas I went with our church to Baptist Snow Camp! We’ve enjoyed the mild winter we’ve had so far but if you want to have snow camp, it’s always better when there’s actually snow. Some of our teens actually packed light clothing in anticipation of a warm two days. What a surprise when we drove into Sinclairville and found ourselves surrounded by a blanket of white. Despite the weather elsewhere the Lord has provided snow for the camp 16 out of 17 years! We brought 30 boys and 20 girls from our church and were excited to see what the Lord would do in their lives. The preaching was amazing! Brother Robbie Morrison was the main speaker and brought messages that everyone could benefit from. Another preacher directed his message to second generation Christians, teenagers who had grown up in church. Several got saved and many others made great decisions that will continue to impact lives. I’m glad that I was able to come this year! I look forward to going again in the future when we come back to visit from Cebu. God has used camp in my life over and over again and I feel truly blessed!
Caroling in the Night
In the midst of the Christmas season we have enjoyed the different church functions that go on during this time of year. My wife and I were able to join our church in Christmas caroling throughout a neighborhood. We went down a street and sang for the folks that were home and then invited them to come to our services. Overall the response was very favorable and one lady even cried after we sang. No one refused the tracts we handed out so who knows what the Holy Spirit will use to draw these souls to Christ! We are enjoying these beautiful days!
