DECEMBER 2007

A belated Merry Christmas and a down-to-the-wire Happy New Year.

We've enjoyed a nice couple of weeks with family and friends that culminates tonight (December 31st) with celebrating my brother Glen's wedding.

We're looking forward to getting back to our home in Vajta and getting back to work with preparing for the upcoming semester. Jeremy will be again leading the Sunday night chapel service for the college and this semester, teaching the book of Philippians as a Tuesday night elective class.

Still hoping to see something come into place for an Ireland outreach trip this year, but we'll see what happens with all of that.

Thanks again for all of the support this past year, and our prayers for a blessed 2008 go out and up for you all!

Loads of blessings,

Jeremy, Christi, Ian, Leah, Kara, and Mikayla

NOVEMBER 2007

Highlights from November?

Christi’s birthday… some great guest speaker’s here at CCBCE (Tom Dickerson from New Jersey, Rich Chaffin from California, Jim Gallagher from Florida)… Ian losing more teeth… Turkey Bowl on Thanksgiving day… a nice bout with a (rather violent) stomach flu, and, all in all, just continuing to try to lead, bless, and minister to our students here at the college.

Ireland Prayer

Jeremy and two of the students here have been meeting together every week to pray for Ireland. We’ve been lifting up the missionaries and fellowships that we know, as well as the churches in Ireland in general. In his book, Consuming Fire – The Hope of Revival among the Nations, Pastor Brian Brodersen makes this comment: “I believe there is the possibility that God in these days might want to work in a special way, pouring out His Spirit, bringing revival to the Church and an awakening to the nations. Both history and the character of God ought to cause us to hope for such things.” Revival is our hope and prayer for Ireland – that the churches in Ireland would be filled with the Holy Spirit and that the believers would begin to reach out to the lost of the land. Please join us in praying for Ireland, her churches, her pastors, and her lost people!

While we're on the subject, I'd like to encourage you to read this article. It is about the tremendous lack of knowledge in Ireland about the basics of Christianity. Please pray!!

CCBCE

Almost done. That is a relatively crazy thing to write. “Time flies when you’re having fun.” It certainly does, and it does more so when you’re having fun and staying busy as well! We’ve had a blessed semester so far, and we’re trusting the Lord to continue to speak to the students these last couple of weeks.

Christmas

We will be in California for three weeks after the end of the semester. Please get in touch with us – we’d love to hear from you while we’re there, and we’d love it even more if we’d be able to see you while there, too!

Thanks for praying for us!

Lots of love and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
