Greetings to all our friends,
Firstly, we want to thank everyone for your love, care, support and prayers during 2015. It is mostly a very lonely life as a missionary in a strange far away country but your friendships is truly like a light in a dark world.

We trust
and pray that God is doing something amazing in your life and that you've been
having a wonderful time preparing to have a fun Christmas with family and
friends. We want to share an update since our last newsletter.
I have been extremely busy with
teams coming and going and to coordinate their outreaches. The highlights for
me is every opportunity that I get to be able to share, teach and motivate
them. We get lots of feedback from the teams and it is always wonderful to hear
these amazing testimonies of what the Lord has done through these teams.
God gave me an opportunity to
give a massive bag full of eyeglasses for a team that were on their way to do
an eyeglass clinic. This team from Turner-valley was able to reach over 600
people and hand out about 700 pairs of glasses. One hill tribe woman with a
very severe vision problem began to cry when she put on her new glasses.....and
said "I can see...".
The Lord
is working amazingly through all these teams and I wish I could share every
testimony with you. God is using them to impart and impact so many people. They
share the Gospel, help with church planting, give food to the poor, help with
mercy ministries...and..and...and...Here are a few photos from teams.
I just received a testimony today of 68 Thai's that came to know our
Lord Jesus through the dvd's that we give to every team. These dvd's are
testimonies from Thai's that came to Jesus.
WHAT'S NEXT?
CHRISTMAS
As most of you know, Jono is presently in Seattle, to visit his
girlfriend and her family. He really has a great time and I am so happy for
him. This will the first Christmas that I will spend it alone but I will
definitely spend a nice Christmas lunch with friends.
TEACHING
I will be teaching between Christmas and New year at a YWAM base
in Thailand. There will be nearly 50 Chinese students and most of them are
mature people and even pastors. This is such a honor to be able to do this
again.
JANUARY
This is the busiest month of the year and there are loads of teams
coming. Also, leadership planning and meetings etc.
FEBRUARY
I have been invited to be a speaker at a YWAM base in Vienna, Austria and
will be teaching on The Nature and Character of God and Evangelism.
MARCH
Jono and myself will be visiting South Africa.
We wish you a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. We pray that you
will experience the Father's love during this festival season and that you will
start 2016 with the Holy Spirit's guidance.
