Christmas News!

Dear Beloved
            I greet you in the Holy name of Our Savior and Lord Christ Jesus. Peace and Grace be multiplied
unto you. Hope this letter will find you and your family in peace and in the joy of the Lord.
          Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
"Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end."  And Mary said to the angel, "How will this be, since I am a virgin?" And the angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy--the Son of God. And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For nothing will be impossible with God."

As we are ready to celebrate Christmas May you find favor before the Lord; May His will and His Kingdom be manifested in your life as you enter this New Year. My Prayer is that the power of the Holy Spirit be revealed in & through your life so that the hard questions like “How will this be” find answer in Christ. The Lord we are celebrating and we are serving his “Big” awesome behind our imagination and nothing is impossible to Him.

“ To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be Glory, Majesty, Dominion, and Authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.”

           My Dear during this new season I want you to remember that the God of the impossible is on your side no matter what circumstances you are facing just trust Him. Psalm 20 

May Lord’s peace keep you as you in these last few days of 2010 and be with you during this coming New Year 2011.

Shalom, With Love!

Studies of Biblical School (SBS)

         “It has been a really wonderful three months of intense studies. In three months we have studied so far 20 books of bible. It was so amazing during this time to have more deep understanding of God’s grace, my identity in Christ, the power of love; love God and to love people. These three months has been a source of encouragement for me. The understanding of God’s Grace and his love change the way I view God and how I serve Him. We are not serving God to be more appreciate or love because there is nothing we can do gain more from God because He has already given us all.

I am challenged to be a source of encouragement to myself, source of encouragement to others. Each of us endures different kind of sufferings for the sake of the Gospel. In the midst of all these challenges we are called to keep ministering and to pass on the truth of the word of God to others. Maybe some of us do not go through hardship by being minister of the word but somehow whoever wants or is living a godly face challenges.

“How do we live as a testimony in the midst of time of sufferings for Christ determine our love and commitment for Jesus”

May God’s comfort be with those of you who during 2010 have been going through hardship. Remember that we have a High Priest who is able to sympathize with us. Then, Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the founder of our faith who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Blessings!

Christmas Gifts / widows and Orphans

         Christmas and New Year are big events and each family desire to have good food and new cloths to celebrate. Every year for Christmas and New Year I try to target some widows and Orphans to provide a gift that they can be able to enjoy their feasts like the others families. Last year I was able to target 3 widows and 2 orphans. It is small beginning but I rather start with what I have than sit and wait for big among before to start. This year my goal is to target 10 widows & orphans to supply for them food and if possible some new clothes for Christmas and New Year. I am not going anywhere for my break to be able to save this money and assist them. They will receive their gifts the 24th.

Fun event

The 17th of November the national soccer team of USA played against Bafana Bafana the National soccer team of South Africa. It was great to go Cape Town stadium and watch this game. The ambiance was so great with the overwhelming noises of Vuvuzela (Trumpet). It was a really excited and pleasing game. Congratulation to America! The game was one Zero for USA (1 USA # SA 0)

Thank you so much for all your supports, your prayers and financial support during this year.
