It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is always such an enchanted time with the family, the meals, the gifts, it’s all fantastic! However, what makes us feel the most joy is celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We know the Christmas season is not easy for everyone. Regardless of the challenges you may be dealing with, we encourage you to put everything aside and spend time praising God for sending His one and only Son. This Son was born in a most humbling manger to one day die for our sins. Thanks to that great sacrifice, we can look forward to an eternity where there will be no more crying, sadness, pain, or sorrow.
In the meantime, we ask that you bring both these praises and prayer requests to God in prayer on our behalf.
PRAISES
- We praise God for a wonderful time during our Christmas festival. We had a magnificent time with many people. Sharing the Gospel is always a highlight and seeing the families so joyful after receiving their baskets, eggs, chickens, and gifts. Praise God!
- We were able to bring 3 new churches into our Nueva Vida family this month! God is so good! We now have 18 churches! It was such a pleasure ministering and serving our pastors during the Christmas festival!
- We praise God for His provision. He enabled us to pull off both of our last two ministry events of the year! Zona Cero and the Christmas festival were a huge success! Thank you to all who gave so wholeheartedly!
EMMANUEL - God among us. What a blessing!
The Word (Jesus) became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
PRAYER REQUESTS
We would like to focus on one request this month – we ask that you prayerfully consider donating towards our “Training/Pastoral Support” bucket/fund. You might be asking, what is this bucket for? Well, we’re glad you asked! This bucket covers the following ministry events:
- Bible Institute - Bible Conference - Pastors Congress - Zona Cero
All of these ministry events allow us to help provide teaching, discipling, training, and more towards our local pastors and teens spiritual growth. Our pastors and leaders need to be fed and filled as they spend every day feeding and filling the needs of others. Help us be the breath of fresh air, the ones who help carry their burden, and a place where they can come and learn biblical truths they can then teach. We now have 18 Nueva Vida churches! Three more were added just this month. This bucket allows us to minister to our pastors directly as well as reaching others! Everyone benefits and no one gets turned away.
Zona Cero saw 35 teens step forward as feeling called to serve God. Just think, 35 teens that may potentially have continued to ignore the call if they weren’t encouraged, loved on, and believed in. Please, help us help those who are submitting to the Great Commission. We hope to have a follow-up program for these teens who are willing to answer that command to go and tell! Our prayer is to be able to disciple them as they follow God’s plans for their lives.
