I want to say JOYOUS Christmas because as I have been reflecting on who it was that came on that first Christmas night my heart is filled with JOY. I hope that yours also will be one that overflows with it as you ponder that great event long long ago.
Also I have been reflecting a lot about the joy we have had in the almost thirty years now of serving the Lord in Africa. The joy of sharing Jesus with others and helping those who believe to grow in HIM has been a joyous adventure for us. Next to knowing Christ, helping others to find HIM and grow to maturity is next in line.
But also joy comes from seeing an individual find God's purpose in using him to disciple others. Through this one begins to multiply his ministry and share the joy of seeing others join in serving the Lord.
This past Sunday I attended a meeting in New Karu District Church Council. They were having their end of the year Fellowship Dinner. Count me in when there is food - right? The purpose of my going was to challenge and encourage people. Over one hundred people came.
In 2007 we had a discipleship conference in the Abuja Zone. Pastor Mannaseh Gimba (see below) attended and since catching the vision of disciple making then he has been busy discipling and equipping others.
As I have been encouraging him over the past 3 years it has brought joy to my heart to see someone so committed to fulfilling the Lord's mandate to "go and make disciples of all Nations". In his own area of influence he is doing just that. These people (see below) gave testimony of how their lives had been transformed as they began to grow and realize that God had a purpose for them in His Kingdom. Many of you have a part in this as you pray and give to enable us to be here in Abuja, Nigeria. We will leave for home assignment shortly but the joy of what God has done will go with us for years ahead.
One again Judy & I wish you a
JOYOUS CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
