Good News of Great Joy

As we finish up this last week before Christmas, I look forward to celebrating the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ - as the prophets foretold:

          For to us a child is born,

              to us a son is given,
              and the government will be on his shoulders.
          And he will be called
              Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
              Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
          Of the greatness of his government and peace
              there will be no end.
          He will reign on David’s throne
              and over his kingdom,
          establishing and upholding it
              with justice and righteousness
              from that time on and forever.
          The zeal of the Lord Almighty
              will accomplish this.

          Isaiah 9:6-7 (NIV)


I also look forward to sharing this message of hope through my semester of service with Engineering Ministries International. The internship is now 3.5 weeks away! By God's grace I was able to finish up finals and the semester well last week. Now I am in full preparation for the upcoming trip to Uganda.

Please pray along with me for the following requests:

          1. Wisdom in setting things in order and packing for orientation and the internship
          2. Spiritual preparation for ministering to those with whom I will be building relationships
          3. Provision for the remaining financial support to be raised

Thank you for your continued support through prayer and giving! There is still, however, much funding that needs to be raised for the internship. I will update support raising progress using the thermometer on the right side of this page. If you feel led to make a donation, please do so online at https://emisecure.org/donate.html.

Have a blessed and merry Christmas!
