Christmas Greetings

I enjoy designing my own Christmas cards even though the commercial ones are prettier, but it always takes longer than planned. That, along with minor car problems and should-be-but-isn't routine medical business, has occupied most of my time the past couple of weeks. I hope to mail the Christmas cards today.

I have completed a CARLA draft in Banna of Luke 11-18 and sent it to my colleague Donna for the Banna translators to revise.

Here is my biggest prayer request:

Please pray for the church leaders in the Aari area:
1) that they will truly know God (John 17:3);
2) that they will understand His priorities;
3) that God will give them a strong vision for literacy-evangelism and discipling;
4) that He will give them and me one heart.

This is what is needed for an effective Aari literacy program to become a reality. Praise God that the Banna literacy has made a small beginning. Ask Him to bless it and multiply it.

Have a blessed Christmas.

May we each take time to worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
