The Greatest Gift of All!

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall cal His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins. – Matt 1:21

Merry Christmas Everyone!

At Thanksgiving, I (Tim) was asked the question “if I could pick one word that would describe the last year. What would it be and why?” I picked the word wow. Why would I use the one word wow to describe the last year? It’s because as I look back at all that God has let us put our hands to this year all I could think to say was wow. Many of you have received and read our updates throughout the year and I’m sure you would agree with me if you haven’t then please visit our blog and catch up on all that happened this year. Looking back at the last couple of months it’s a big WOW. June – October was an incredible season starting with six weeks in Mexico at the Calvary school of missions. CSOM where I Tim get to direct the school assisted by my beautiful wife and an incredible team of past graduates, who are in training, learning skills that will assist them on the mission field (please read last month‘s update for further information on that.) At the end of the six weeks in Mexico, we came back to the states for two weeks in order to regroup and wrap up the admin portion of CSOM. Early September, we launched out to Thailand and south Asia for six more weeks to lead a few students on a vision tour, visit the church plants and workers there, host one of the most incredible conferences in Thailand that I’ve ever been at where we had close to 50 SGWM “Workers” gathered, many of them serve in countries where It is illegal to preach the gospel or share the Bible with the intent to convert someone to christianity. Leaving Thailand we went to South Asia where we had opportunity to teach at some of the Bible colleges and churches. strengthen, encourage, and council senior pastors and there wife’s in the church plants of restricted country where Christians are highly persecuted, and the gospel is not welcomed. Pastor Gary, and myself also had the privilege of teaching systematic theology and the book of Colossians at two of the Bible colleges there. It is such an incredible privilege to be able to train up future church, planters and pastors in a country Where over 1 billion people have never heard the name of Jesus and are completely deceived and lost in Hinduism.
