A Very Merry Christmas to You!

During the Christmas season, we often see signs and cards wishing one another peace, joy, or love.  A nice sentiment - but as believers, we know these emotions - in their true and lasting form - come only as we enter into relationship with Him and become true Jesus-followers. 
It is a pleasure to share with you the true joy we felt when we received word from Portugal of another woman, "C" who recently trusted Christ as her Savior! She now has not only the promise of eternal life, but the promise of Him walking with her daily. We pray that she will experience Christmas in a new and fresh way this year as she celebrates her first Christmas with Jesus as her Savior.

May each of you know this true peace - His true peace - as you walk through this season celebrating His birth.  A Very Merry Christmas to you all! 
Rod and Susan

We’ve been a part of Northeastern’s Church Family for 35 years and count it a great privilege to have been their first “home-grown” commissioned missionaries, serving first in Portugal, then Colorado, and now back in Michigan. We’ve come full circle back where our journey began.   We covet your prayers as we settle in our next ap
