Dear Family and Friends, 

Merry Christmas!  I hope you are enjoying this season of celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ!  In our family we’ve been talking about why Jesus had to come to earth.  He came because we are sinners desperately in need of a Savior!  Seeing Christmas through these eyes makes us rejoice even more as we celebrate His birth!

I want to share with you something exciting that has been going on for the past 35 years in the country of Argentina...people have been coming to know Jesus as Savior from their sin and lives are being changed!  Specifically, in the city of Buenos Aires and vicinity, our church’s missionaries, Ron and Chris Self have been involved in planting 4 churches!  Their sons and wives have joined them and serve alongside them.  We became friends with their son Mark and his wife Anahi when they lived in Toledo for 2 years while raising support to return to Argentina 1 ½ years ago.  Mark is now starting the 5^th church plant!  Currently it is a Bible study meeting in a narrow hallway and ready to transition to a building of their own.  At the end of January, I will have the privilege of being part of a team of 32 teens and adults sent by Emmanuel Baptist Church to help construct their new church building!  I am very excited to once again serve alongside Mark and Anahi and see firsthand the work God is doing there.  As you know I spent 6 years after college serving in the Dominican Republic where I was able to learn Spanish.  One of my roles on this trip will be to help translate for our team.  I will also be helping with the construction tasks.

Would you consider joining me and the team by praying for us and/or supporting our trip financially?  As a team we need to raise $75,000 to cover costs.  Our trip is coming quickly, January 29 through February 7, 2016.  

Please pray for me as I prepare spiritually, mentally (practicing the language), physically (staying healthy and strong), and preparing my family for my time away. 
Pray as well for our team in general. 

If you are able to support us financially, enclosed or attached you’ll find a form to fill out if you wish to receive a tax deduction.  
Checks can be sent to: 
Emmanuel Baptist Church
4207 Laskey Rd, Toledo, OH 43623. 
Please write ACT 4 on the memo line.  

Thank you for considering being a part of this exciting adventure!

To God be the glory!
