Fruitful Harvest In His Vineyard

"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.  We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

I could still vividly remember the first time I came to this village.  That season of greenness and abundance.  Locals were harvesting the fruit of their labor - cucumber, melon, watermelon, corn, beans etc.  I was totally amazed how this vast land producing good crops!

However, way beyond plentiful produce this land has to offer, God cleared the way for us to proclaim the gospel.  Exactly the same season of the year, the seed of faith was planted upon this place.  A huge throng had gathered and heard the timeless message of love and salvation.  And that moment turned fruitfully - number of souls received Jesus.  They are continually coming from then on to learn more from His Word; sharing testimonies of God's power in their lives, plus the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit.  By God's grace, and without doubt, "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." 

For you who have been journeying with us from the very first day until now and will continue to do so for the coming years, we thank our God every time we remember you.  In all our prayers for all of you,  we always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel.  Together, we press on.
My prayer and trust, that this season will yet open more opportunities to share God's love amongst the locals, and the blessings we received from above will generously overflow for His glory and praise.
Merry CHRISTmas!
