Thank you CCBC!

Our team was so pleased to receive your most recent gifts!

Andy and Kari say thank you for their coffee! The kids, Josiah and Elizabeth really liked their new toothbrushes, Lightening McQueen is Josiah's favorite!

Scott and Lee were amazed at their HUGE bag of M&Ms!

Ever the chocoholic, Dave was so pleased with his goodies. I'm sure he'll share with Patsy:-)

Jumbo bag! Danny and Frances will be snacking on their Reeses for quite a while!

The kid's ornaments were great! I didn't quite have room on my mini-tree, so they are cheerfully decorating my living room instead:-)

I feel as though I write the same words every time, but they are genuine. Your faithful friendship has been such an encouragement and a blessing during my time in Cameroon and in particular, during this holiday season. My team is impressed by your love for me and so appreciated your kindness toward them as well. What a lovely family you are. I look forward to seeing you in the new year.

God bless you as you have blessed me, Sarah

Merry Christmas

There is no one like Him. Not a new concept, perhaps, but one that was driven home during my time in Africa.

What did I learn? What did God teach me? That He is to be praised, adored, honored and glorified. That He is worthy of this praise, because there is no one like Him. He created a way back to Himself, we are reconciled to Him.

What an incredible gift. Nothing else compares.

On my face in praise, overwhelmed with gratitude and His loveliness, all I can manage is to sob out “Hallelujah”

Hallelujah.

I have seen patients who should have died, pull through and live. Their healings were nothing short of miraculous, God saved their lives. Others have been delivered from the demons that tortured them with waking nightmares and fear.

Still others found the truth of Jesus and it changed their lives as nothing else ever could.

God has intervened in my own life during this time. He has provided for my needs in overwhelming ways, proving to me His love, His ability as my Father. He has demonstrated His faithfulness by showing me my sinfulness and areas that He wishes to heal, with the divine purpose of restoring me to Him, restoring me to the woman he intended me to be.

He has comforted me when I faced difficult choices, when I faced the poverty, suffering, illness and death surrounding me.

But none of this compares with who he is. WHO HE IS! What an astounding, perspective changing, life altering realization, His beauty, His power, His goodness.

Him.

Beautiful.

Hallelujah.
