Christmas time is rapidly approaching and the work in Bayou La Batre continues. For the past couple weeks we have had some returning friends come and help us in a great many ways. We are desperately trying to reach our goal of finishing the remaining 7 projects on our "promise list" by March. Do you wanna help?!
We must thank, Manhattan Kansas Church of the Nazarene for coming again and helping us partner in what God is still doing in many homes and lives down here in Alabama. While the Manhattan team was here, I had the privilege of delivering some gifts to some families for the Christmas season.
It was a special privilege of mine to have my father-- Pastor Barry G. Whetstone -- here, namely for my new baby girls dedication, but who happens to be the pastor of the Milford, DE Church. They sent not only four teams, but a ton of Christmas gifts as well to a family they have not only adopted, but grown to love in a deep and Christ-like manner. Thank you.
With the help and partnership support of the Milford Delaware Church of the Nazarene, and C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc we had the blessed opportunity to brighten the hopes and lives of a couple families in Bayou La Batre.
C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc with the leadership of Troy Tarter also helped supply a great deal of joy as they too adopted a couple families in the Bayou. I speak for us all, thank you in the name of Jesus for being His hands and feet in some special and unique ways this Christmas season.
We not only "received" gifts, but we also received another team this week. Pismo Beach California returned yet again. They are working hard and will be with us through the new year as we also look forward to the arrival of another returning team from Othello Washington, and some long-term help from a couple who are coming to give two months to help us reach our goals!Grace and peace to you all this Advent season as you allow the God who comes to CHRISTmas in you.
Until next time . . . Merry Christmas!
