We are so excited for Christmas this year! Luke is excited beyond words that this whole month is the Christmas season and he even got Joy a present already! We just put up our Christmas tree as a family, and Joy even hung several ornaments! 

Our happy home has unfortunately been filled with broken things the last few months. Everything from plumbing, A/C, dishwasher, computer, garage door, car issues, and more. Tim was able to fix most of these issues with warranties and help from friends. Still, the total for all those repairs was $3,550 beyond our normal monthly budget. Please keep that in prayer for us and any extra gifts towards it are greatly appreciated. 

Increased Persecution & New Ministry School

Across Asia the persecution continues to increase. For example, in China there is severe oppression of the Uyghur people who have been forced into internment camps. Also in China, there have been extreme Covid lockdowns, forcing many to starve to death. In the midst of all this tribulation, a Chinese pastor told us, “pray the persecution persists so the people continue to seek God.”  Yesterday, we received a phone call that disciples in persecuted Asia want to work with us to start another ministry training school! We are currently working out the details. Praise the Lord! In the midst of this horrific time in Asia, the people continue to seek the Lord and make disciples!
