Once again the Christmas Season is here.  I admit that while we are thankful to be around family, we truly miss being with the children in Ecuador during this time.  We are so blessed to be a part of the lives of some wonderful kids in Guayaquil that are so thrilled to receive even a small gift when so many here in the United States take so much for granted.  We are also blessed to have many of you who continue to be faithful in your support that enables us to bless those kids.  This year we were able to send some extra money for December for the children to have a Christmas celebration.  Thank you so much for making this happen.  We could not accomplish this without your help.

Please continue to pray for us for guidance and direction as we work on a possible project in Haiti.  While in Guayaquil we worked with an Ecuadorian couple who are now missionaries in Haiti.  Imagine going from a poor country to an even poorer country to minister to people.  It is our desire for Bread of Life to be able to help them in some way.  We are currently exploring some options concerning that, and hope to make it happen early in 2012.

Our family would like to wish all of you a wonderful Christmas.  We pray that you will be able to remember the real reason for the celebration of Christmas and that you will have opportunity to share that with family and friends.  May God richly bless you!
