Dear Friends and Loved Ones~
As we approach this wonderful Christmas Season, we again remember the most profound sacrifice in all of history. God Himself, sent His only Son from the glory of heaven, down to this earth to reach the heart of man. Because of His sacrifice toleave it all, become one of us, and give His life on the cross for our redemption,we now gain it all. His life, His resources, andHis hope. Like the scripture says, "He became poor. that we may become rich!" 2 Corinthians 8:9
As we look forward to celebrating with our families and friends, let's not forget to look around us as well, and give something of ourselves to make others "rich." Sharing His love to a needyworld, is our call!
We are looking forward with great expectations to what the Lord has for us this new year in Germany! Although it will be a sacrifice to leave everything and everyone we love here, the joy of being used to give to those there is great!
Some people have been asking us questions concerning the date we're leaving, and how the support works.
We are waiting on the lord to bring in the needed monthly support for our living expenses in Germany. While we wait, we continue to share the vision of the ministry with other churches and individuals, and continue praying for all aspects of the ministry. We hope to get the needed support by mid-spring, but regardless, we must leave by June to get things ready for the fall school year.
Monthly support already coming in is going into an account, held by Saving Grace Missions. It will be kept until we leave, and then be used for start up costs, as well as monthly living expenses in Germany,. They would like us to raise 80% of the budget before we leave, so we can focus on our work there, rather than raising support from abroad. Small amounts from faithful donors will keep the work going.
We thank those of you who have already made a committment to support this ministry. We rejoice that God is in control, and may His will be done, and He be glorified!!!
We pray for you, for a wonderful, Spirit-filled Christmas! May His love continue to live in your hearts, and His light shine through!
Faithfull yours,
Bruce and Teresa
