Time for a pre-holiday dinner with Mandy’s parents, Rob and Gina, who were visiting!
The Cayes candy crew were serious candy makers!
Is the cinnamon a little too intense girls?!
Getting ready for the school Christmas program!
Grace’s class sharing some Bible verses during the program!
Our first Christmas dinner for our workers and their children!
Madam Mavia was very surprised to get her gifts!
Madam Yadley seemed to really like her gift!
A holiday party for those we are discipling weekly with a Bible study one day and sharing the gospel with us on another!
Baking cookies with Ricardine and Malaika!
Arriving at the Christmas program for David Brown’s weekly Bible school class. This is the house where he will live with 12 kids soon!
The kids were dressed in their best for the program!
The kids participated for hours to get lunch and a present at the end!
David and friends sorting through donations beforehand to prepare the children’s gifts!
We were also blessed by the gifts many wrapped and mailed down to us!

Mike’s brother, Steve, visited us a week over Christmas! He enjoyed meeting kids he sponsors (they really liked him too)!

You didn’t see Evan and Grant in any of the photos as usual. We miss them beyond words! They were making their own Christmas memories together with extended family and friends in Ohio this year! Grant got to travel to Indiana to be with many of his cousins while Evan was working. We really look forward to them coming in the Spring, Lord willing.
Happy New Year 2017! Thanks for your support and prayers all through 2016. We felt them and can’t thank each of you enough. May God bless you through the year ahead! We serve a great and awesome God who also cares for us so tenderly.
“Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”
– John Wesley“But to do good and to communicate forget not:
for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”
