Hello favorite people!

Only 7 more days until Christmas!!

I have been given $500 to make my miracle a reality.

That equals two small boxes and one medium to put under my new tree.

I just need $1,700 more. 4 large presents=$250, 2 medium=$200 and 3 ornaments=$100

 

Please consider buying a box or an ornament so I can spruce up my tree and have the best Christmas ever!!!

The picture above was taken inside a humble home where we were served by a Syrian family living in Jordan. We were bringing supplies to this family, who showed their excitement at having us with lots of coffee, tea, and freshly made pastries. They don't have much, but what they DO have they give freely. These visitations are my favorite ministry on the race, and I learn something new each time. I will be spending the next week alongside a team working in a remote village teaching English, and I can't imagine a better way to spend my Christmas!! However, I need your help to continue living out what God has called me to.  

 

We need each other. I NEED YOU! If you cannot give financially, please pray for me and share my need with your friends and family members. I am currently living where the Israelite's traveled to get to the promise land, which has brought on a whole new meaning to the stories I have always read about. I love the verse Exodus 17:12 and am reminded of the way I rely on so many people to do the Lords work, "When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset."

I can't do this alone. We are one body working together, in different ways, to advance His kingdom. ANY AMOUNT is greatly needed and appreciated, so if you feel the Lord tugging at your heart please give what you can.

Happy holidays everyone, talk to you soon!!
