Merry Christmas!





We want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We pray that this coming year you will walk in God’s joy, peace and love. May His presence and blessing be yours in abundance.

Walking through this year of transition, we have been constantly reminded of how God is in control. Our transition to US Missions from World Missions began in March and became official October 1st. For those that do not know, we will be serving as campus pastors at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. It is the nation’s oldest public university and home to over 107 nations as represented by the student body.

Our desire was to move in December during the school break. Although we are very close to reaching our goal, we still lack approximately $600 per month in financial partnership. Once that budget is met, we will move immediately to North Carolina to begin ministering there.

Thank you so very much for walking through this process with our family. We could not reach this generation without your help. Many of you by faith have even increased your support. For that we cannot thank you enough.

The boys are doing well, and growing rapidly as boys do. Josiah turned 7 years old in November. He played flag football for the Raiders, loves math, NASCAR, and is in the gifted program at school. Elijah just turned 19 months old. He is now in the 97th percentile for both height and weight. Very feisty, he is always testing his limits and ours! He rides scooters, climbs bookcases, and tackles his brother every chance he gets.

Merry Christmas,

Joe, Mishael, Josiah & Elijah
