Thank you for all your faithful prayers and support over this last year. We are struck this week by how many people of our age that we've sadly said goodbye to this year who are now celebrating with Jesus in heaven. Whilst it brings us joy to know they are now with heavenly bodies and with their Saviour it's a timely reminder of how fragile life is and how urgent our message of salvation is. As we look to the festivities of Christmas and seeing family we are reminded of how wonderful the hope is that we have in Jesus and what a privilege we have in sharing it with others.
This last weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving with 10 people plus us and Cristina's parents. It was our attempt to use the occasion to invite people from our neighbourhood and some new Americans who've moved into the area in this last year plus others who we know have lived in the States for a period. It was a great time to get to know some new faces.
Over the evening Cristina asked some questions to encourage people to think about the value of being thankful and for what people were thankful. Whilst this was a room full of generally very secular people who we're only just getting to know we didn't push gospel conversations but it was the start of getting to listen to people's stories and hearing what was important to them and it was a privilege to share time with them. So please pray for these new friends Shannon and Stacey, Frank and Pepa, Emerald and some we know a bit more from Salvador, Carmen, Raquel, Sylvia, Nina. Please pray for developing relationships and opportunities for gospel conversations in the coming weeks and months.
This Sunday lunchtime Cristina has a Christmas meal with some of the ladies that come along to the women's breakfasts. The following Friday (12th) we have the last Story of God before Christmas. On Sunday 14th we have Carols and Churros on the roof (weather permitting). On Friday 19th we have the last English evening at our home before Christmas. Please pray for each of these events that there will be divine opportunities and that people will be open to hear more about Jesus and his message of salvation.
Joel and Esther will be back over Christmas which will be great. Please pray they'll get the rest they need and that Esther might be able to get the POTS test which was unfortunately denied in the UK.
With love in Jesus,
Terry and Christine
