In
Luke 2:8-13 we read how the angels appeared before a group of shepherds the
night of Christ birth. In verse 13-14 we read; “And suddenly there was
with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, ‘Glory
to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is
pleased!’” What a glorious sight that had to be for the shepherds to see
this and to hear the announcement of the birth of the long awaited
Messiah. What an honor it is for us today to celebrate the birth of our
Savior!
This month marks my 1 year anniversary with Pioneers. As I look back over previous letters and reflect on things of the past, I had expected to already be living and ministering in Germany. However; the Lord saw otherwise and perfectly set into play how things are to be. Even though I did not understand why the Lord worked things out as He did, as I reflect back I now know that God had everything already worked out according to His time and plan. James 1:5 reads, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him.”
Our God is a God who gives His children perfect gifts. Not only do we have the gift of His Son, Jesus. We also have the gift of His perfect wisdom and His hand guiding our life. I am pleased that the Lord gives to us the things that we need, even when we are not looking or asking for them. This month, God answered a prayer request that I had not begun to pray about. More to come later!
Things with Germany are moving forward as I am preparing to set up meetings with various churches. I ask that you please continue to pray for this as well as praying for financial support. I invite you to prayerfully consider how the Lord would have you give. If you would like to give, you may visit www.pioneers.org/giving. My account number with Pioneers is 112086
Merry Christmas!
