MERRY CHRISTMAS !

As we celebrate Christmas we cannot help but thank God for the friends and family that have strengthen our lives and ministry.

This past year has held so many adventures and God has been faithful to protect us as we traveled, inspired us when we preached and taught, gave us insight and strength when we grew weary, and gave us words of encouragement from those that we serve as their lives change course for now and eternity.

Thank you for your faithful prayers, support and encouragement for our family and the ministry of Empowering Lives.
We look forward with anticipation to all that God has ahead for 2013.

May the wonders of Christ surround you with peace and His presence this Christmas.

Serving together,

Don, Amy, Joshua & Nathaniel

Thank you for your prayers. We have arrived safely in upstate NY and have already enjoyed a night of sleep – an amazing breakfast in Grandmas Kitchen and a brief visit to the home of Charlie Alsheimer, an amazing nature photographer who took us to see some deer in the area.
