He Has Come For Us!
The good news of Christmas is this: we are not alone. The God who spoke all things into existence has come into the world He created to bring us back to Himself. His love and mercy have been made manifest in Christ Himself.
O come let us adore Him!
We wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and we pray that you enjoy the gift of His Presence!
Our year has been full and we are grateful to you, our partners and friends, for your constant support in prayer and financial giving.
We have been in awe of our great God by his generosity through you and we tell each other just about every day “I can’t believe God still lets us do this!”
It is always a privilege to lift up the Name above all Names, Jesus, in song, speaking or preaching. As long as he gives us breath we will continue to make him known by the power of His Spirit.
Your gifts and prayers make it possible for us to continue and encourage us greatly.
Never take for granted what a prayer, an offering, no matter the amount, an email or a text of encouragement can do. God uses it all to grow His kingdom and build up His church.
On a personal note, we lost Joe’s Dad in November; he was 86. Our family traveled to Indiana where Joe is from and He officiated the funeral service. He honored God and his Dad so well. Joe shared stories that made everyone laugh and cry and He shared the gospel, the only hope we all have for a life forever with Jesus.
Here are a few highlights from this year:
10 day tour in Texas
Joe preached several Sundays, Texas and Georgia
Kim speaking and leading worship at Women’s events and leading One Thing Worship Retreats
Kim’s book is in the editing process
Revivals in South Carolina, Georgia, & Texas
Homecomings, Sunday morning worship, worship concerts, special events
Kim co-hosting “A Burst Of Hope” podcast for 3rd year
Joe served as guest worship leader for several churches in need of one.
Please join us in giving thanks to God for all the opportunities He has given us.
If you would, please pray with us for this new year, that we will follow His lead and go where He sends us.

We know many of you may be experiencing grief and loss this Christmas.
It’s not easy to reconcile all the joy and gladness with the sorrow you are feeling.
We’re including a link below to a piece that Kim wrote for Touching Hearts Ministries, about our tables looking differently this Christmas.
We hope it will help encourage you or someone you know.
Thank you again, for your love and support of this ministry God has entrusted to us.
We love and appreciate you very much!
