Christmas came again for us this past January when we received several large boxes from our home church in Eden, NY! The kids devoured the Twizzlers that were sent and I was happy to find goodies that I missed from home too. When we were on deputation we had several friends warn us that too often, missionaries go to the field and never hear from their supporting churches. Praise the Lord, so far we have been blessed with a different story. Several families and churches have contacted us through emails and letters. We have even received large envelopes, care packages, and boxes from our supporting churches and families in the States. We can’t express just how thankful we are to have people who think and pray for us even when we are on the other side of the world.
We have several young boxers attending our services at NCBC! One of these young men has accepted the Lord as his Savior and is a first year student at our Bible college. Pray for him, it is his goal to start a bible study at a gym with other boxers. Another young man, still currently in the boxing profession is now actively bringing his boxer buddies to church with him! Right now he is also going through Disciplship Studies with our assistant pastor. It is a blessing to see these young men get saved and grow in their Christian walk. God is still working in hearts!
