I am very joyful to send you a Christmas greeting through PMU once again. By God’s wonderful wisdom and power, my Employment Authorization Document was approved again in November after being delayed two months more than expected. Even while my official work was suspended for six months due to government issues, God never ceased His work of saving and sanctifying His people through Covenant BP Missions. We are expecting to baptize and receive a new-born Christian man. We are thankful for a church member who became dedicated to keeping the Christian Sabbath holy. We are delighted to have a church member who is engaged to a godly woman whose wedding I plan to officiate next April. Lastly, but most personally exciting, God has given a new life to my wife, who is expecting a baby next May. Even when the powers of this world are against God’s wonderful work of salvation, God will ultimately accomplish His good purpose. Even in Herod’s insane infanticide policy, God preserved the life of Jesus with His wisdom and power so that our Lord Jesus became our salvation and strength of sanctification. I believe and hope that God’s wonderful light in His Son will shine upon you, your family, and your church especially during this season. Thank you very much for your prayers and support for my family and Covenant BP Mission. Merry Christmas!

In Christ,

Andy, Jin, Isaac, John and Sarah
