New Ministry Photos Added!

Happy New Year to everyone! We were quite busy during the Christmas holidays and hope that you will enjoy seeing some of the new photos that we added to the Photo Gallery 2005. The church was busy preparing for our Christmas service on Christmas Day evening, (if that makes sense). Before Christmas arrived we held our first Childrens Day programming in an outdoor setting in Taquari. Over 120 children came that day, and were blessed with the word of God, puppets, a quick drama, and popcorn and candy.

Then we were off to prepare the bread to be delivered on Christmas Eve. A few brave souls from the church got together and prepared 75 loaves of bread to be delivered in various houses in Taquari. It was nice to see the expression on the faces of people change from that of "what do you want", to that of "oh wow thanks" and "A Merry Christmas to you too."




Christmas came to the public square here in Palmas with nativity scenes and even a bunch of life size Santa Claus dolls, penguins and more. I think Santa decided to take a vacation here in Palmas to beat the cold for awhile, cause he is still hanging out there and will be until January 15th.

As we begin this new year we just want to say thank you to all of you who supported us financially and also prayed for us in the year 2005. Your prayers mean a lot and help us in our ministry keep sending them up for us. God's blessings to each and all.
