Greetings Dear Brothers and Sisters!
We wish you joy and blessings as we celebrate the coming of our Wonderful Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. In this past year, the Lord has blessed our family with the sweet communion of His saints, our family, local church in Cincinnati and churches around the US, and we’ve been edified by supporting and serving with new friends in Brazil that have become dear to us. We pray you also have experienced the joy of sweet fellowship with fellow-workers in Christ’s kingdom.
Hebrews 9:28 speaks of the coming of Christ to earth as our sin-bearer, which we pay special attention to this season. It points further to the fulfillment of the mission when He comes again for salvation- “So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.” It is indeed a glorious living hope we proclaim to the world. Thank you for your participation in the work of proclaiming the good news of the Savior to the ends of the earth.
