Waiting for the consolation of Israel

We have been reading different accounts of Jesus’s birth from different gospels this month. What can we learn about missions from them? God co-works with his people to achieve his goals. There were Simeon and Anna, a prophetess who day and night prayed for the coming of the Messiah. In the same way he needs us to promote his work on this earth today. That is why our prayer meetings are vitally important. If God’s people pray, he moves.

“For All” Club

All the people who usually come to this club came in December. One man expressed his amazement when someone he knew came to the Lord which he had thought would never come. So, we see that the Holy Spirit is working in the hearts. Pray for the regular visitors that they would hunger for spiritual bread. We know for sure one barrier that many of them could not step over – their families. Pray that each of them meets the Lord and start to walk with him. We praise the Lord for this great opportunity to spend fruitful time sharing the Gospel in a creative way.

Praise and Prayer Points

We praise the Lord for his opportunity to visit Christians in Xinjian, China. Please pray for leaders in Xinjian and Gansu provinces. Pray that they would stand strong in the Lord. We also praise the Lord for our Christmas services. New people came to almost every church and group. Pray that each of them would start reading the Bible. Also, pray for our annual need of $300 to be covered for our websites and hosting.

Friends and Family

Timothy is going to write his core state exam to finish high school in May. This involves many hours of practice. Please pray for Tim and Christina to be diligent students in their home school studies.
Thank you so much for your prayers and support!

Praises & Prayers

Praises

Greetings from Uganda and another Publisher Document. Today as I prepared to start on the newsletter and opened up the app, a message came up that as of October 2026 Publisher will retired. They must’ve extended the deadline?! Hip hip hooray!! My goal will be to ease into the Scribus application slowly next year. I have a bit of time to still adjust, I know it will come fast!

First please pray for Aaron, above. Ivan and Evelyn have split and of course Aaron is part of the carnage that is left behind. We are not sure yet if it is Ivan’s child. Waiting for the DNA test. Ivan also struggles in so many ways so pray for them all, for we know that Ivan loves the Lord, and He can help Ivan walk in victory, regardless!!
We should see some activities on the Girls Dorm starting in the next week or so. The weather is better and Clare is free starting in the next week after the Presidents visit this weekend here in FP. My last discussions with her were that they would try to finish quickly likely before the end of 1st Q next year.
For those that have given to the end of year gardening project, thank you!! We will send some updates in early January. We don’t see into or get notifications from both giving systems immediately. We trust that we will be in great shape to help out in that effort. We are grateful and continue to trust Him knowing He affirms and confirms continuously.
In November Bill worked with International Development Institute (IDI). They have 2-more seminars in both December and in January. Hopefully some of the Ugandans are willing to invest in their learning and teaching beyond this.
IDI also serves the disability community here. Seems they are a large organization and work in different areas. They’re Christian yet do not openly state that and have a global presence from what Bill understands and they’re very strategic.

Above: Bill’s first group with IDI, the Korean NGO. Both George (just in front of the women in pink in the gold/blue) & Nicholas (far right) joined him. Moses, Bill’s contact is the tallest, even more so than Bill! I’m sure you can spot Bill.
