Expectations....

In a small remote village in Romania, a place with NO Christians, the director of a small school (compared to the one room schoolhouse of Little House on the Praire)has agreed to allow the Anderson's to teach English once a week. While the village is controlled by the Orthodox Priest (who made it clear he does not like the Anderson's being there), God has opened the door for Faith to minister to these children....who with earnest expectation, watch and wait each week as the missionaries approach. Please pray that as Faith and the other missionaries teach and minister, the love of Christ would romance the hearts of these young boys and girls, and that lives would be changed for eternity.

The real meaning of Christmas



God is truly at work in the lives of His children. Derrick and Julianna Morlan (missionaries to England) reported the following: We are often amazed at the boldness God has given them so early in their Christian lives. Kial and Solly are constantly telling us of friends at school and people in our community that they have spoken to about Christ. Yesterday, Kial told us an interesting story of something that happened to him at school. During a lesson on the meaning of Christmas, the teacher became a bit confused on some of the details. She said to Kial, “You go to church. Why don’t you come to the front of the class and tell us all about the meaning of Christmas.” Kial then told the children and his teacher that at Christmas, we aren’t simply celebrating Christ’s birth, but the fact that He was born to die for our sins. When he was finished, his teacher asked if there were any children in the class who would be interested in hearing more about Christianity, and four children signed up to speak to Kial during their break! The teachers and children are now calling Kial the “Little Preacher Man”. What a powerful testimony these children are. God is using them mightily, and it is our prayer that they would give their entire lives, from this moment on, to Him. Please pray with us, especially for Kial and Solly, that their desire to be used of God would continue to grow.
