Merry Christmas from the Kariuki's in Chad!

Joy to the world, the Lord has come.....

 

We are indeed filled with joy as we realize the great gift we have been given in Christ Jesus.  As we minister here in Chad, we are daily confronted with the reality that a life without Him is a life without hope.  Our hope and desire is that many more would come to know that joy.  Please continue to pray for us that we would be effective ministers of the Good News!

 

Peace on earth, good will to men... (Including the Sahel…)

 

Please take a minute now and when you think of us to pray for peace in Chad.  The Darfur conflict has destabilized the region and there is a lot of insecurity around the border, as well as a rebel movement in Chad which is fighting the government. Our town is in a peaceful region and we are thankful, but praying that the senseless loss of lives in Chad, Sudan and Central African Republic would come to an end.

 

Our family is doing well, Marianna has become mobile and is crawling all over, and she is quite the intrepid explorer.  Zachary is expressing himself more and more and is a very gentle big brother, with a ready smile and hug.  He does a great “vroom, vroom,” noise and loves his trucks.  :-)  Josh is loving his ABC's that we do in home preschool, and currently learning what countries are where on the globe – so he can find where his extended family lives!  He's also getting better and better on his bicycle. 

 

We've been told that it is “cold” here in November and December.... “cold” that is, according to our Chadian friends.    :-)  At the time of writing, (end of November) Chadian “cold” simply means that the thermometer dips a few degrees below 80F (27C) some mornings before the sun comes out in full force!  Not “cold” in our definition but a nice change!

 

The Biblical Studies Core course has five students, two of whom are local pastors.  They are eagerly digging into the Word and finding new treasures each week.  Here one can become a pastor simply by virtue of being literate.  To be able to equip pastors and others with tools to really study the Word effectively is a great joy to us.

 

Thank you for your prayers and partnership with us in the Kingdom!  Once again; Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

 

Love,

Moses, Jo, Joshua, Zachary and Marianna
