Christmas Update

Dear Friends,
Christmas is upon us once again.  A time for us to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour!

I write to wish you a merry Christmas and to share with you some exciting news regarding Germany.  I was able to spend about 3 weeks in July and August serving in Stuttgart with the 3 churches I have worked with in the past.  During this time I made arrangements with Pastor Steffen to come to Alabama in October to meet with the mission department at my church, The Church at Brook Hills.  This was a very successful meeting where Steffen was able to share the big picture of the work being done with the church in Laucchau and Sindlefigen.

After this meeting the missions department met together and approved for me to be sent out from Brook Hills Mid-terms (2 Years).  I will soon be seeking full support for this time.  As of right now, my plans are to raise support all of next year and have 100% raised by the end of 2013.

Baptist International Outreach (BIO), the mission organization that I have used in the past has agreed to handle the financial part while I am in Germany for the next two years.  This will help serve 2 purposes; one, for me to get more familiar with the way they operate; and secondly, for Brook Hills to also become familiar with them.  Next June I will travel to BIO headquarters in Tennessee for a week long training in preparations for my 2 years in Germany.

I ask that you please continue to join me in praying for the future of what God holds for me and Germany.  I will be leaving again for Germany on Feb 20 until March 20, 2013.  I will be partnering alongside the Churches in Laucchau and Sindlefigen again, as well as the International Baptist Church in Stuttgart.

Thank you for your faithfulness in reaching others around the globe with the Gospel
