A Merry Christmas Answer to Prayer

December 23, 1020

Dear Friends,

Cathy and I want to take a moment once again and wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas as you celebrate the birth of our Savior. May you know and experience the love and grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the coming year.

While I have shared the following information with some already, this week we received one of the most encouraging pieces of news in our 25+ years of ministry. God’s ways are mysterious, His timing perfect.

We asked you to pray about the fact that Cathy’s primary source of income was coming to an end December 31. Trusting the Lord, we pursued multiple avenues that came up short seemingly every time. I even explored the option of working part-time again in the Petroleum Industry. I approached a friend who owns a service company in this industry and we bounced some ideas around that we thought might work.

On Monday of this week, God answered your prayers. Our friend left a voice mail on my cell phone indicating that he and his wife had been praying about our situation. He had a better idea. They decided they wanted to pledge a monthly amount just in excess of the lost income we are about to experience when Cathy’s job comes to an end next week. I could not believe my ears as my eyes welled up with tears of gratitude. Cathy and I stopped immediately to pray and thank God.

Rejoice with us this Christmas as we celebrate His provision for our salvation and every other need!

With heartfelt thanks,
George for Cathy and the family
